A Ferrari F40, one of the most iconic supercars in automotive history, met a dramatic end during a routine test drive. A video that surfaced online captures the precise moment the car lost control, leading to a spectacular crash that has left car enthusiasts reeling.

To make things worse, the car isn’t yours. In fact, you’re a Ferrari technician, and you’ve just seriously wrecked the highest-mileage F40 in the world. That’s exactly what happened on January 16th in the UK, and there’s a video of the horrifying accident that’s one of the worst unforced automotive errors ever.

Norris isn't believed to have been driving when the iconic Ferrari had its unscheduled meeting with a guardrail.

Norris reportedly bought the F40 in 2024, according to The Daily Mail, so he had little time to enjoy it before this crash. Hagerty currently values the model at $2.4 million in good condition, and prices can be even higher for pristine examples.

It's been a rough couple of weeks for owners of the iconic Ferrari F40. Last week one of the multi-million-dollar exotics met what looked like its end in a drizzly crash where it flipped over and met a lamppost along the way. Now it's another car, this one belonging to Lando Norris, though the Formula 1 driver was not the one behind the wheel.
