Had something similar to that while I was growing up in PV, CA. Two cars were racing on PV Dr. N, one of them lost it when into the trees. The car ended up looking similar to the pictures that were linked. What a waste, so sad; easily preventable. Hopefully the driver didn't hurt anyone else.

I had a now former acquaintence who managed to take his C4 Cab off a 600 foot cliff on Highway 1 last summer, leaving a widow and 4 young kids behind. Ever since then I've had my right foot on a diet. Stuff like this is a good reminder that there are some limits to our awesome machines.

If it is like my A6 then it is actually 100 not 80. For some strange reason the speedo makes a funny adjustment between 70 and 100. Plus you can see the 1 next to the needle on the speedo. It also looks like a Euro car therefore in km/h. Not that fast really some other factor needs to be involved to do this (Not to say that 100 km/h is slow).

The 100km/h showing on the speedo was at the point when the engine stalled, not necessarily the impact speed. The speedo may have "froze" after the second impact or third. I've seen cars that "T boned" a post around 40mph and it was pretty nasty already. However fast the driver was going..... it sure wasn't very slow. At least the driver, whoever he/she is, probably didn't feel a thing.

I know this isn't a Ferrari site, but damn, this can break one's heart too. It's from www.wreckedexotics.com

I'm not thoroughly convinced it's real
While awful and shocking, the images seem to have a trace of how this "accident" was choreographed: the ground
The dirt underneath and surrounding the major parts (engine, front and back halves) are not disturbed. They show no evidence how those these pieces came to rest. It would be relatively easy to get the individual pieces of a car from a real accident and place them on to a different site, but to recreate the effect on the ground would be nearly impossible.
