Surprised this hasn't been posted yet as it's been all over social media. F40 in Monte Carlo just yesterday.

I've been hearing a lot more muscle cars in my area since the main road is a lot emptier now. Someone's gonna get hurt like this

Citation needed for the drunkeness part, I haven't read that anywhere. Man CGT's appear to have zero margin for error, knife-edge handling.
The tub looks trashed...but I'm not sure he'll get a payout for a crash that was clearly the result of reckless driving.

He was under the influence of drugs according to the article linked below.

I have in my area as well, but I haven't been able to tell if it's a result of there being less ambient noise so it's more obvious now or if there are actually more hoons. There's definitely less motorcycles (I live a stones throw from the foothills).

It was Ben Chen (BC). Tried to claim the car was stolen, video came out, friends claim his dad passed, then another friend says mom/brother passed from the coronavirus. Story changes despite no excuse matters. This dude has a history of wrecking his cars, and a DUI at 7:30 in the morning following an obvious hit-and-run should have this dude banned from driving for a few years. He's always been a full-of-himself individual whose pocket book gets him out of trouble.

Number 1: Yep, it looked awful. The wrap that was previously on the car looked a tiny bit better, still gold, but still awful.
Number 2: It's a crap car, doesn't even deserve to be on the road. We call it "tin Milo" due to how hollow feeling the car is. I don't even know if it scored any star for a crash test

Brand new Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder 20 minutes after being picked up from the dealership.
Hmmm doesn't look to bad....
It only got smashed because it broke down in the outside lane and got rear ended. If my new Lamborghini broke down 20 minutes after purchase I'd be having words.

Must be a fairly major mechanical malfunction too, to leave you stranded in the outside lane. Unless the driver was a moron and just left it there instead of coasting to the hard shoulder. Having said that, i know this stretch of M1 really well and it has no hard shoulder at this point aside from one small section just before the accident spot. Still, you'd pull to the inside lane all the same. Or maybe you wouldn't because trucks. Oh i don't know.

Yeah I'm not sure why the driver wouldn't have at least attempted to pull it to the inside lane even without a hard shoulder unless it was something terminal or there was loads of traffic.
It has been really hot the past few days and maybe that was something to do with it although modern supercars should really have solved the whole overheating and/or bursting into flames thing by now!

Thought the forum might enjoy the current status of this one. Currently in Monaco starting her long journey back to restoration. Photos credit to the folks at FChat.

Beggars belief that these owners don't carry a fire extinguisher with them, could have been 20% the damage otherwise.
I don't know how badly the fire would have affected the frame but Gas Monkey Garage had a pretty messed up frame on their F40 and managed to fix it (then proceeded to spit all over history but anyway).

I think many cars just get engulfed so quickly & owners get lost in the moment. Many guys have a cut-off switch & suppression system (particularly becoming common on Miuras) for this kind of thing, but the purists aren't fond of it. Esp. if they're looking at having the cars in shows where that kind of stuff is held against originality.
GMG's took some noted shortcuts that won't bode well for the car down the road, though. Most memorable to me is them modifying the firewall at one point.
