A red Ferrari 458 Italia has been destroyed in Lisburn, Ireland just 2 hours after the new owner was handed the keys to the expensive Italian supercar.
Investigations into the crash are still ongoing, but it’s believed the driver lost control of the 562hp Ferrari 458 Italia before sideswiping an SUV and coming to a rest wedged under the tailgate of a large truck.
It’s not yet known if the driver and any possible occupants escaped uninjured or not.

These aren't designed for first time sports car drivers. they are serious machines…
Here. Here. Maybe start with a sharp e30 BMW and see about working your way up under proper instruction.
Back in 1983, a PC company called Eagle Computer was IPO'ing. Its CEO bought a Ferrari to celebrate and on the day of the IPO, he crashed in Los Gatos and died. Very tragic. http://www.nytimes.com/1983/06/10/business/corporate-triumph-then-death-in-a-ferrari.html
Rear wheel drives are not for less drivers. These machines punish after mistakes.
Haooened to former friends of ours. Not a Ferrari, but still an SL. Driving way too fast on a rain-slick serpentine road. Lucky they are still alive.
