Norris sees his Ferrari F40 end up in the barrier
In recent weeks, several people noticed damage to Lando Norris's Ferrari F40 as it was seen driving through the streets of Monaco. A video has now surfaced online, showing the moment the car lost control and crashed, revealing how the damage occurred.
The damaged Ferrari F40’s registration number matches the one Lando Norris purchased last year for approximately 1.5 million euros. The McLaren driver was frequently spotted driving the supercar around his hometown of Monte Carlo. However, Norris was not behind the wheel during the accident, as he was on holiday.
The Ferrari F40 was introduced in 1987 and was the last car of the prestigious marque to be built under the supervision of Enzo Ferrari. The car features a 2.9-biturbo V8 engine with a maximum output of 471 hp and can reach a maximum speed of 201 MPH. Prices range between around 1 and 3 million euros. The F40 is well known to be a difficult car to drive, with the turbo lag catching drivers out throughout the years.
