This 599 GTB Fiorano crashed in Portoroz (Slovenia) on the twisty road behind Grand Hotel Kempinski Palace. The car is from Ljubljana (Slovenian capital) and apparently it crashed because the owner forgot the "manettino" in Race Mode. Damage is around 30000 Euro.
It's one of the nicest 599 GTB Fiorano's I've ever seen and, unfortunately, the very first Ferrari I saw crashed on real roads.
The car is painted in Nero (don't think it's the metallic Nero Daytona); it has ball-polished Challenge wheels, yellow calipers, full carbon fiber interior and Cuoio leather. In the pics you could also see the rear roll bar which, of course, it's an expensive option. The car will be repaired and probably NOT sold.

Chassis is probably damaged. The engine too may have suffer damages.
Seriously... way more than 30 000 Euros to my opinion.

Looks like serious damnage, there is a very big chance this is a total loss if the hit was significant enough..

Remember every car can be fixed. If insurance won`t pay the full amount a deal can be made.
Anyway it`ll be Ferrari who`ll fix I would of thought?

A 599 is not very rare!
Every car can be fixed, at a price....
