Of all the hypercars produced by Ferrari in the past three decades, the F40 holds a special place in the heart of fans of the brand and of cars in general for a great number of reasons, one being that it was the last vehicle to be commissioned by the company's founder Enzo Ferrari before his death.
Only 1,315 examples of the rare, mid-engine and rear-wheel drive Ferrari were built from 1987 until 1992 – and we can only guess how many survive today. One of them, however, is certainly not looking good.
The jury is still out on whether the red F40 that crashed in Vancouver a couple of days ago will make it out alive or if the damages it sustained prove to be lethal.
There's little if any official details on the accident, though some unverified reports claim that the driver lost control of the car because of the rain adding that no one was hurt from the accident.
A video of the aftermath of the crash can be found right below the break.

It was on slicks.
There's a reason owners of uber rare vehicles do not drive them in the rain.
That'll probably polish out?
Seriously what kind of moron takes a car out on a normal road with slicks on??
terrible news for all of us... except the existing 1300 or so other F40 owners...
Rain my ass, they make tires that fit that car's wheels that grip in the rain. If you can afford that car, i.e. gas, insurance, and maintenance, you sure as hell can afford tires... dumb ass
never drive a race car on public road.
Money doesn't make you a better driver and certainly does not make you smarter. But he can probably afford to get another one.
come on guys, pay some respect to the car.
it's one less F-40 for us to See.
when the lucky ones take them out - it's the only Chance for us to enjoy them even from a far
so Let's hope that the guy will continue to live a free life with it's cars
これで貴重なクルマがまた一つ消えた。
