Surveillance video captured the terrifying moment a woman in China lost control of a Ferrari 458 she had just rented and crashed it into the center barrier of a major road. The woman had just left the dealership with the nearly $600,000 exotic car when she spun out of control on the wet road and slammed into the barrier, striking a black BMW X3, which then collided with a black Nissan.
The woman posted a video of herself sitting at a red light bragging about driving the fancy car moments before she wrecked it.
"First time driving a Ferrari. This truly is the most amazing feeling."
The woman and her passenger were unharmed in the violent collision, but the car did not fare as well. The entire front-end of the car was crushed, and the airbags were deployed. It is estimated that the cost to repair the Ferrari could be around $300,000.
People on Reddit noticed that the traction control system was turned off, and the car was in "Race" mode, which they speculated was the reason that she lost control of the Ferrari so easily. People suggested that the car should have been in "Wet" mode while driving in the inclement weather.
