A peaceful drive through Austria’s rolling hills turned into a nightmare for four Swiss supercar owners earlier this month. A Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren Elva, Ferrari 812 Superfast, and Bentley Continental GTC—cars worth a combined $9.5 million—collided in what might be one of the priciest wrecks on record. The LaFerrari, easily the star of the group, is worth an estimated $7 million. It’s the kind of car you don’t just see parked at the corner shop. Next to it, the $1.8 million McLaren Elva and the other two luxury heavyweights seem almost modest. Read More The Last Ferrari that ever won Le Mans is for sale. (For 25M EUR+) A Hairpin Turn Turns Costly for a Supercar ConvoyWhat started as a stunning drive through mountain roads ended in a scene no car lover wants to imagine. A Ferrari LaFerrari braked hard just before a sharp bend, slamming into the McLaren Elva ahead. The chaos didn’t stop there. The Ferrari 812 Superfast followed too closely and couldn’t avoid the pile-up, only to be rear-ended moments later by a sleek black Bentley Continental GTC. Local police are now sorting out the wreckage—and the story behind it. Were the drivers keeping a safe distance? Did someone push a little too hard on these twisty roads? It’s a question worth asking when nearly $10 million worth of supercars are involved. Meanwhile, the Internet had its say. One comment captured the mood perfectly: “This accident will cost more in repairs than I will earn in my entire life.” For anyone staring at those crumpled hoods and shattered headlights, that’s a hard point to argue.
