Exotic Car Crash Biography

Exotic Fourteen car owners were left fuming yesterday after eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes and a Lamborghini were involved in a 14-car pile-up in Japan.

The multi-million dollar accident is believed to have occurred when a Mercedes-Benz drove on to the wrong side of the road while going around a bend on the Chugoku Expressway near Shimonoseki junction.

Pictures from the scene show the road littered with debris from the damaged cars with scores of metal scattered across the road and one car stuck under the railing.

Japan's largest English language newspaper, The Daily Yomiuri, reported that 10 people were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

A 36-year-old self-employed man from Kanzaki, Saga Prefecture, said he was driving in the opposite lane at the time of the accident.

"Cars were making a tremendous noise," he told the paper.

Some of the cars involved included two Ferrari F430s, two Ferrari 360 Modenas, two Ferrari F355s, a Lamborghini Diablo a Nissan GT-R - and a Toyota Prius hybrid.Whenever someone wrecks a car, it's always a sad situation. They have to deal with insurance and repairs which usually cost up to a few thousand dollars.
What's even sadder is when someone wrecks an exotic car. That's when the repair costs start to make you weep.

But even an ordinary exotic crash doesn't compare to the accidents we're about to show you. These wrecks are in a league of their own. They involve cars that are so unique and rare, only billionaires can easily afford them.You know these are expensive crashes when a $500,000 super-exotic barely makes it to #10 on the list. This 1992 Bugatti EB110 was being driven by a mechanic as part of its annual checkup. He claims there was an oil slick on the road which caused him to lose control and crash into a pole. The owner of the Bugatti is a famous "feel good" guru named Emile Ratelband. Not sure how good he was feeling after this wreck.The SL 300 "Gullwing" represents the very finest of Mercedes. It is THE classic car. Unfortunately, there's been more than one crash involving this masterpiece. You're looking at a car that was once worth nearly a million dollars. The owner thought it would be a good idea to race it on the streets of Mexico. No, not a street race, but the annual "La Carrera Panamericana" race which is limited to classic cars produced before 1965.Only 15 Zonda C12 S were ever built but that didn't stop this owner from driving it like a bat out of hell. He crashed this beauty in the wee morning hours while driving in Hong Kong.The guy below was even less fortunate. He would never consider putting his car in harm's way intentionally, but was rammed into by a landscape truck owned by the city of Seattle. The funny part - the name on the side of the truck read "Impact Landscaping".Here we have our first million dollar crash (and we're only #7 on the list). The XJ220 once held the record for highest top speed for a production car (217 mph). Along with this speed came a couple of crashes. This first one shows the classic pose of the owner next to the car, dumbfounded by what he just did. This guy is void of all emotion, staring blankly into space, thinking of how he's gonna explain this to the wife.Here's another crash, this time with more damage. Not only with the car, but the owner's pride. He crashed it in front of all his friends at the golf course. We hope he was able to yell "Fore!" before plowing into the ditch.The Ferrari Enzo sure seems to attract a lot of crashes. This is surprising considering the price tag. You would think the owners would be more careful, but we've documented at least 14 crashes involving the Enzo. That's nearly $20 million worth of crashes! The most famous was the Malibu crash of 2005, when the driver, "Fat Steven" Eriksson crashed the car at 196 mph. Below is the result.
