A heartbreaking crash in the UK has claimed the legendary status of the world's highest mileage Ferrari F40. Known as F40PRX, the car sustained catastrophic damage during the accident, leaving fans devastated.
A rare and valuable Ferrari F40 suffered serious damage in a crash in Marykate , UK today. Reports indicate that, fortunately, everyone escaped the crash without significant injury. This is known to be the world's highest mileage F40 and a service technician might have been driving it. According to several reports, this isn't just any old F40 either. It is known as the F40 PRX, affectionately named for its number plate and widely believed to be the highest-mileage F40 in existence...
until now at least. The photos also provide a clue as to what might have been happening at the time of the crash. It appears as though a service technician might have been at the helm. Details posted on Instagram by the account @kayash2000, state that the accident happened in the United Kingdom, along the A5 near the village of Marykate. The description suggests that the driver lost control, leading the legendary seven-figure supercar to roll onto its side. The accompanying photos, while undeniably fascinating, are nothing short of heartbreaking for car enthusiasts.The damage to the F40 is catastrophic, and the photos leave little to the imagination. The entire front clip is gone. The front wheels, suspension, radiator, storage area, and horn are all openly exposed. A power or perhaps light pole sits beside the car. It's possible that the Ferrari lost its nose when it hit that pole.The remains of the F40’s front section lie upside-down, partially wedged under the car’s left-hand side. The rear hasn’t escaped unscathed either. The driver’s side rear suspension appears misaligned, with the wheel exhibiting excessive toe-in. The rear bumper is damaged as well, underscoring the violence of the crash. In a third photo, a closeup of the front bumper, we see the F40PRX designation on the number plate. That's important because F40PRX's last publicly-known location was in the UK. Photos and video of the car from several years ago show the same number plate in the same location too. Even Kayash2000 believes this is the same car. In fact, they posit the idea that a service technician was driving at the time of the wreck.

Having such covers in the car would make far more sense if the car was in the midst of service and this was a test drive situation. Of course, it would also make it one of the most expensive accidents at the hands of a service tech ever.
