Arrow Ferrari FF: Small crash during CAR's video review!!

YouTube - Ferrari FF review (2011) - and a crash!

CAR Magazine's Jethro Bovingdon has an unfortunate turn of events right after he mentions the words on camera, "It seems to work really really well". We definitely feel for Jethro as this is not something you want to occur on your test of a $250k+ automobile. While this is the only video released by CAR, it appears as the damage may have been to the rear drivers side tire and quarter panel, hopefully not to much more. As you can tell by his actions this was a phone call he surely wasn't looking forward to, poor chap.

Turns out just the wheel got damaged, lucky guy!

That's got to suck. I wonder how bad the damage was.

CAR drove the new Ferrari FF this week - but there was a small commotion behind the scenes when we accidentally drove it into a kerb, stoving in both alloys on one side of the car. An expensive business on a Ferrari.

Check out our video above of the moment when road tester Jethro Bovingdon smacked the new £230,000 FF into a kerb on a right-hand drive corner during the media launch in Italy.

'There was no kerb to begin with, and then one suddenly appeared halfway round this tight corner,' admits Jethro sheepishly. We'll have a full video review of the new 2011 Ferrari FF next week. Stay tuned!
