We don't have a lot of details on how this Ferrari F40 wound up sans front clip. All we know is it happened in Houston at the crazy, construction-heavy I-610/I-290 interchange. UPDATE! More »

A young German man wrecked a Gumpert Apollo along a highway near Brokdorf, Germany while maneuvering around a slow corner at high speeds, causing the car to skid into a pasture. The 700-hp supercar was stripped of much of its carbon fiber body, leaving on the passenger compartment intact. More »

We're not implying ze Germans are worse drivers than anyone else, just that their access to exotic cars and speed unlimited roads often ends poorly. Someone destroyed one-of-83 Lamborghini Diablo GTs last week, giving us serious sad. (H/T m2m!) [Nordbayern] More »

For the last three months, one Ferrari 458 Italia's been destroyed every ten days. This one is the first victim in the U.S.A., but it's certainly not the first one to catch on fire. Depressing. [Wrecked Exotics] More »

This Ferrari 458 Italia lost its front left wing in Poland, making it possibly the first crashed 458 in the world. Somehow, "Save The 458 Italias!" just doesn't have the same ring to it. [WreckedExotics] More »

A hitman in a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 smashed into a new Ferrari F430 at a South African wedding, then beat up partygoers taking pictures. Disgrace? Ha! J.M. Coetzee didn't even see this one comin'! More »

A septuagenarian businessman from Florida has lots of money and apparently no driving skills, having wrecked ten exotics, including a Ford Indigo concept car, an EB110, and a Yenko Camaro. The full list is incredible. [WreckedExotics] More »

We've all seen it before; an exotic car driver showing off by weaving in-and-out of traffic like a moron. The clip of a Chilean Viper driver shows the ending we always secretly want to see. [WreckedExotics] More »

The Chinese love fast, red cars. Chinese taxi drivers love abruptly stopping in the road. Thus the front of an Audi R8 met a Ferrari 599 GTB's trunk. It appears the Ferrari won. [WreckedExotics] More »

Sometimes wrecked exotic cars aren't the fault of their uber-wealthy d-bag owners. Sometimes it's just some schmuck who rams into their rear end. Example A: the unfortunate owner of this 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. [WreckedExotics] More »

Is the Porsche Carrera GT the new Enzo? No, not performance, rather in the desire of owners to crack 'em up 'round curves. Exhibit A: Autogespot's shots of a Carrera GT crashed in Marbella, Spain. More »

Though most of our exotic car fantasies involve a track and bubbly alcohol in a novelty-sized bottle spraying into the air, we also have an alternative fantasy that ends with us hobbling into the pit, smoke spewing from the windows inside the remains of a thoroughly thrashed exotic car. If some cars can only truly be enjoyed at nine-tenths, then eleven-tenths must be that much better. We thought we might be alone with Eddie Griffin in this fantasy until we saw the photos of the wrecked $1 million Gemballa Mirage GT, driven by someone who clearly can afford this kind of track day destruction fantasy. Given the chance to indulge your dark side, what piece of exotic metal would you take to the track and meticulously rip apart in an act of gloriously wasteful destruction? More »

Indian Autos Blog, the lovers of all things automotive on the subcontinent, claim the smash-up of this Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 was the most expensive car crash in India's history. Whether or not that's true isn't really clear, but we're more interested in determining the "why." Perhaps the driver was just trying to imitate Bruce Wayne's intentional bull bashing. Then again, maybe he just lost control due to the bright yellow paint's magnetic traits. (Hat tip to Raja!) More »

Here we find a perfect example as to why using those 2x8's you've got lying around behind the shed to load a half million dollar Porsche Carrera GT is a bad idea. We're not positive of the categorization here, but "epic fail" might be as close as we can get for everybody involved in setting up this cringe-worthy scenario. You can almost hear the carbon fiber chassis going all crunchy right at the end. Ouch. [VideoMax (NSFW banner ads)] More »

It looks like this pair of 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedans got a bit tipsy on the way to their upcoming luxury-party crash. What you see here is a pair of early production or pre-production Genesi that were probably on their way to something important in Korea. Somehow along the way the truck carrying the black and silver pair lost its way, sending the cars tumbling on top of each other. Oops. More »
