You certainly have to be a die-hard fan of Cristiano Ronaldo to like this piece of sports memorabilia. The wreck of his Ferrari 599 GTB will certainly bring tears to the eyes of Tifosi otherwise.
There is no doubt that Ronaldo is one of the world’s greatest footballers at the moment. Whilst he may be fleet of foot on the pitch, he is certainly not a driver of note. This was proven in December 2008 when he managed to lose control of his brand-new ruby red 599 GTB. Driving his Ferrari through a Manchester tunnel, he proved that he should be adored for his looks and his fleet-footedness on grass, and not his ability to put his foot on the right pedal.
Now the write-off is for sale. The Coupé is due to be sold on the French eBay site. At about 50,000 Euros, with only 1800 miles in the clock, it is an ideal restoration project, for someone with a hard stomach. Pictures online show a sad wreck indeed. It is a sight not for the faint-hearted, and certainly not if you are a lover of Ferraris.
Much more of a feast for the eyes is the Ferrari 458 Italia on a self-drive hire. With impeccable handling, superlative performance, and excellence in styling, this is a car you will want to adore. Developed in conjunction with the aviation industry, the chassis is 15% more rigid for amazing drive dynamics. The car’s engine has won award after award including Best Performance Engine and Best Engine Above 4 litres. These have been given by some of the leading driving experts and reviewers, so you can be assured that the 90 degree V8 engine will provide some spectacular driving. Styling comes courtesy of Pininfarina, with expert advice care of Michael Schumacher. Explosive looks are thus guaranteed for this short-term supercar experience.
