Wrecks it in under 4 minutes.
Egham, England, Jun. 16 (UPI) -- For all of its engineering, speed and luxury, a brand new $320,000 Ferrari proved no match for a pothole in Egham, England, The Sun reported Wednesday.
The dream of a lifetime turned into a nightmare for municipal employee Simon Nimmo when he wrote off his brand new 575 F1 "super car" just four minutes after picking it up from the dealership.
Capable of reaching 212 mph, the low-slung car was not capable of zipping across a giant pothole.
Being so close to the ground, Nimmo couldn't see it in time to swerve. One of the car's $3,500 wheels shattered and the entire front suspension assembly cracked.
In all, the car cost him $80,000 per minute that he drove it and he had to settle for a ride home in a tow truck.
