Daily Mail reports that moments before the crash, a clip reportedly filmed by the woman herself, shows her bragging about the rental car. The woman points the camera at the Ferrari’s dashboard and says, “First time driving a Ferrari. This truly is the most amazing feeling.”
The 4,499 cc V8 engine on the Ferrari 458 produces 570 PS of power at 9,000 rpm and 540 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm, with 80% torque available at 3,250 rpm. That’s a lot of power for some people to handle and it’s always a good practice to take it easy at start with such performance machines.
