Ferrari 488 Spider Wrecked In Brutal South African Crash

A Ferrari 488 Spider has been left a shell of its former self after being involved in a horrendous crash in South Africa.

Local media reports that the incident with the droptop Ferrari happened in the city of Sandton after the Italian exotic collided with a Mazda CX3.

Few other details about the crash are known but images from the scene reveal that the 488 will inevitably be a complete write off with damage sustained to both ends and sides.

The front, for example, appears to have taken a large brunt of the collision and has been totally crushed and is barely recognizable as the face of Ferrari's mid-engine V8 supercar. Elsewhere, the driver side rear wheel has almost been ripped entirely off the hub and yes, the whole thing is a very sad sight indeed.

For the sake of the owner, we hope they have a comprehensive insurance policy on the car which will pay for its replacement.
