The loss of control that led to the crash may have been due to mechanical issues or other factors, which are now under investigation by the authorities,

Back in for some more repairs.

Those top end super cars are extremely complicated and expensive to repair. The owner might not bother when he finds out how much it will cost to put things right now that it is banged up and has been submerged in water.

 

I watch a guy called Samcrac on you tube who buy right offs like these and tries to ' flip ' them ( repair and resell ) . Massive headache and not always possible as the electronic parts cost a fortune.

Oh, possible mechanical fault... How many times have we heard that one? 

 

Or maybe my foot 'slipped' off the brake and onto the accelerator. 

 

More like the car was a bit more powerful than the driver expected.  Tried to show off but lost control.

There is a cut import on FB for 2.7 million.

Ferraris are great cars. And on the right streets and with talented drivers I am sure it's fun.

 

But I will never understand why anybody would want such a car in Bangkok. For what? Using the 1st and 2nd gear only? Probably overheating that thing in the traffic? And they have to drive very careful to avoid any pothole. What's the point?

Status.

Every friday afternoon on the commute home I see atleast 3 supercars belting it up the motorway to Pattaya.

Wish I owned one !

I'm sure they are great cars, but If one obeys the speed limits I fail to see how much fun is to be had in real terms on any streets.  Maybe more suited to open days on race tracks but as you say only exceptionally talented drivers would ever fully get their moneys worth

These super cars have an enormous power to weight ratio and throttle control is critical if one is to harness the car's potential. An inexperienced driver can overpower the rear wheels provoking a power slide the correction of which requires skill and adroitness. It seems the driver was found lacking in both, is my assumption.

Where does it say that the driver was the owner? It was being test-driven after repair, probably by the garage that did the work.

Test report it goes like "stink" .. unfortunately it now smells like it also🤔

Are you implying the driver has pants named after the restaurant where he crashed.

Come on, you know why. Face. There can be no other reason. There can, actually, be very few countries in the world where such a car can be used to its potential. Germany, with no speed limit on the autobans I guess. Anywhere else? Still, if people have got money to burn buying expensive toys, up to them.
