Looks like these Ferraris were smoking hot in more ways than one

A wild incident occurred on Saturday when two Ferrari supercars raced through an upscale neighborhood in Osimo, Italy, before crashing violently into the exterior wall of a villa. The dramatic collision that was caught on camera, left both vehicles in ruins and the drivers counting their lucky stars that they only suffered minor scrapes and bruises.
According to reports from Italy, the drivers of the two Ferraris, aged 50 and 54, are from Belgium and were on vacation near Ancona – although there are conflicting reports about one of them being from The Netherlands. Seemingly channeling their inner Dukes of Hazzard, they lost control of their flashy vehicles when they hit a curb at high speed, using it as a makeshift ramp. The impact caused the supercars to soar through the air before crashing down in a spectacular fashion that could easily be mistaken for a scene from a Michael Bay-directed action movie. One of the drivers, who had to be taken to the hospital for tests, was later released.

Security footage obtained from the villa in question shows a red Ferrari 296 GTB Assetto Fiorano careening out of control and crashing into the fence. Moments later, a blue Ferrari F12berlinetta followed suit, flying through the air and bursting into flames upon impact with the same fence.
YouTuber Antonio Pio Guerra filmed the aftermath of the accident, showing firefighters putting out the fire from the F12berlinetta that appears to be a total loss.
Who knows what these foolish daredevils hoped to gain with their reckless impromptu race, but it’s safe to say, it didn’t end well. Their high-speed antics left them with a pair of destroyed Ferraris, a hefty bill, a ruined vacation, and a bruised ego. Perhaps next time, they should consider taking their stunts to the track instead of endangering lives in a residential neighborhood. After all, as the saying goes, there’s a time and a place for everything, including getting your adrenaline rush without crashing your vacation.
