  • The most expensive car crash in the world

    8 Ferraris, 2 Mercedes and a Lamborghini in collision in Tokio

    The most expensive collision of cars in history just happened in Tokio, Japan. In it were involved 14 luxury automobiles: eight Ferraris, two Mercedes and one Lamborghini. The other cars involved were Nissan and Toyota vehicles. The estimated worth of the crashed automobiles is over $4000000.

    The accident happened on the highway, where a sports car admirer lost control over his own Ferrari because of the humidity of the road. Changing the lanes, he spun back across the highway and ended up in making an expensive freeway pileup. Fortunately no one is badly hurt and there are nod lethal cases thank to the good safety systems of the cars. However, the accident made really serious damages to the luxury cars and their recovery is impossible.

    Among the smashed cars were two Ferrari F430s, two Ferrari F355s, two Ferrari 360Modenas and a Lamborghini Diablo.

  • Ferrari 458 Italia

    2009 ferrari 458 italia frontThe Ferrari 458 Italia is a completely new car: engine, design, aerodynamics, handling, instrumentation and ergonomics.

    Four and a half liter V8 delivers 570 horse powers at 9000 revs and 540 N/m at 6000 rpm. This makes the incredible 127 hp/liter from naturally aspirated engine.

    Despite the fact that the new engine is significantly more powerful than the V8s that preceded it, the Ferrari 458 Italia produces just 320 g/km of CO2 and fuel consumption is 13.7 l/100 km (combined cycle), the best in the entire segment.

    The 458 Italia compared to other super sports cars is a featherweight – 1380 kg with a power-to-weight ratio of 2.42 kg/hp and the results are more than exceptional: 0-100 km/h in under 3.4 seconds top speed of 325 km/h.

    The low weight of the car helps a lot with the braking, 32.5 metres 100-0
