A recent incident in Italy involved a 60-year-old motorist who managed to crash their limited edition Ferrari 275 GTB, causing significant cosmetic damage to the vehicle. The Ferrari 275 GTB holds a current value of around million USD or .2 million NZD. The driver reportedly lost control of the classic car while leaving a shopping center, resulting in the vehicle spinning into a dirt bank and a fence.

The Ferrari 275 GTB is considered one of Ferrari’s best early GTs, with just over 400 models produced in the 1960s. It was the first road car from Ferrari to feature a transaxle and independent rear suspension, making it an instant classic. The GTB variant boasted a dual overhead cam 3.3-liter Colombo V12 engine and had double-wishbone suspension, a limited-slip differential, and Pirelli rubber.

Despite the unfortunate crash, there is hope for the damaged Ferrari. The front fascia, right fender, and right headlight of the vehicle suffered the most significant damage, but experts believe the car can be salvaged with the help of a Ferrari specialist. Given the expertise available in Italy, it is likely that the car will be restored to its former glory in due time.

The incident serves as a reminder of how unexpected misfortunes can occur even during routine trips. It emphasizes the importance of responsible and cautious driving, especially when handling valuable or high-performance vehicles. Let this serve as a cautionary tale to drivers everywhere to exercise caution and prevent similar incidents from occurring.
