And if the car is expensive enough, then it can take several tens of thousands of dollars to repair it. And no more, because in case of serious expenses it is easier to buy new car. But sometimes accidents happen on our planet, when the usual figures for the cost and restoration of a car need to be increased by an order of magnitude. You have not forgotten that next to compact hatchbacks, sedans and crossovers are also driven by fabulously expensive supercars, drivers who are also not immune from getting into road collisions. What amounts are involved in their case? Now we'll find out. Your attention is the rating of the 10 most expensive car accidents.
10th place - "Mercedes Benz SL 300 Gullwing"
Our rating opens with an accident involving a rare Mercedes Benz SL 300 Gullwing, the price of which is at least 750 thousand dollars. The incident occurred on the roads of the American city of Seattle. Legendary german car, which began production in 1954 and is famous for its unique gullwing door opening pattern, did not share the road with a truck. The one, which is quite natural, was practically not injured in this accident, which cannot be said about the Mercedes Benz SL 300 Gullwing.

It should be noted that the car was not sent to the landfill, but nevertheless restored. It cost 450 thousand dollars.
8th place - "McLaren F1"
What has become of Rowan Atkinson's McLaren F1
But about the next accident heard, perhaps, everyone. And all because the famous actor Rowan Atkinson, who lost control of his McLaren F1, became its participant.

Outcome traffic accident deplorable - in the famous British supercar, the cost of which is 850 thousand dollars, the entire front end is broken, the cost of replacing which can only be guessed at. But things could have ended worse. If the famous actor had accelerated to a maximum of 385 kilometers per hour on his McLaren F1, then its result could have been much more deplorable.
7th place - "Pagani Zonda C12S"
The next accident happened in Hong Kong and participated in it Pagani supercar Zonda C12S, the cost of which is one million dollars. The owner of the Italian supercar simply lost control and hit cars parked at the side of the road. As a result, out of twenty-five released Pagani Zonda C12S, only twenty-four remained on the move.
6th place - "Bugatti Veyron"
Damaged Bugatti Veyron
There have been many more Bugatti Veyron supercars produced during its production, so it is not surprising that this model often appears as the protagonist of traffic accident news. And this is quite understandable. The Bugatti Veyron, which starts at $1.2 million, this moment is one of the most fast cars on the planet. And it’s all the more surprising that someone manages to break this driver-friendly car into extremely low speeds. This is exactly what happened in the English county of Surrey. On the road, the Bugatti Veyron did not miss the modest Opel Astra and all this happened at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour. As an excuse for the unlucky driver of the Bugatti Veyron, it can be said that at the time of the accident it was raining, which made the roadway very slippery.
5th place - "Jaguar XJ220"
But the iconic British supercar Jaguar XJ220, which is considered the most expensive production car in history brand Jaguar, had an accident on .

4th place - "Ferrari Enzo"
So unlucky so unlucky
But if the Jaguar XJ220 crashed in Goodwood can still be restored, then you should not even think about bringing back to life the Ferrari Enzo crashed on the coast in Malibu. The car, which was driven by a businessman from Sweden, Stefan Eriksson, was broken into two parts. It happened after a tipsy businessman lost control and kissed the legendary Italian "horse" on a pole. Stefan Eriksson himself was not injured. Too bad the $1.5 million Ferrari Enzo doesn't.
3rd place - "Ferrari 250 GT TDF"
You will not envy the owner of a rare Ferrari 250 GT TDF. But it all started with really good intentions. The car, worth $1.65 million, has been entered into a vintage car race in the US state of Connecticut. But the Lime Rock track played a trick on the owner of the fabulously expensive Ferrari 250 GT TDF. In one of the turns the pilot Italian car and crashed into the wall.
2nd place - "Ferrari GT Spyder"
The element spares no one
And the Ferrari GT Spyder, which was purchased at auction for $10 million, didn't go anywhere at all. He was peacefully moored off the California coast and could have stayed there for who knows how long, but the hurricane that suddenly hit the coast literally turned everything upside down. He did not spare and fabulously dear ferrari 1961 GT Spyder. The car is no longer subject to restoration.

For the car, which was produced from 1962 to 1964, an unknown buyer paid $28.5 million. And one can only guess what prompted the owner of this automotive masterpiece to drive it onto public roads. But the fact remains. Ferrari 250 GTO and thanks to this became the undisputed winner of the ranking of the 10 most expensive car accidents. Although it is unlikely from this to the owner of a rare sports car it got a little easier.
But this is only a small part of the accidents involving fabulous expensive supercars. Most owners of such cars try not to advertise their road adventures, but simply get insurance for broken car and soon buy yourself new toy, which, it is possible, will soon also be in a roadside ditch. And only thanks to the ubiquitous paparazzi we have unique opportunity stare at shattered Ferraris, Jaguars, Paganis and Bugatti, and along the way to rank the 10 most expensive car accidents in the world.
Cars, like their owners, are very different. Very often, both of them get into accidents. Not all, of course, but it happens. Various accidents with ordinary cars will definitely not interest you, so we bring to your attention small review about the most expensive car accidents in the world.
Monaco
This small kingdom is literally filled to the brim with expensive cars and rich drivers. However, the daughter of the chairman of the employment service in Ukraine, Galitsky, turned everyone into a belt. It is not known where the 24-year-old girl got such a car from - or someone's expensive gift to her daughter, or Margarita Smelyanskaya-Galitskaya made several successful bets in Monte Carlo. The accident that Margo caused in 2011 is still remembered in the kingdom.
Most likely, the fair-haired representative of the weaker sex mixed up two pedals located in the floor of the Bentley, the cost of which before the accident was 500 thousand dollars. As a result of a fatal mistake (or because of her assertive nature), Margarita was able to combine an impressive set of incompatible objects into one whole:
- Bentley (driven by Margarita);
- Aston Martin;
- "Mercedes";
- "Ferrari";
- Porsche.
We must pay tribute to the girl - between a crowd of people and expensive cars, she chose the latter. Insurance Company who dealt with the case subsequently confirmed technical problems car, because of which the girl became famous all over the world.

It was possible to avoid a collision with a truck, but the millionaire friends, not having time to react and brake in time, used each other's cars for emergency braking.
As a result of a group accident expensive cars totaling over £5.5 million, traffic on the highway was paralyzed for several hours. The most important thing in this story is that, despite the large losses for insurance companies, people who were behind the wheel of expensive cars did not suffer much.
England
The ride in the Ferrari 250 GTO for its British owner ended tragically. The car was bought at auction for a record $28.5 million. While driving on a busy highway, the driver did not calculate the speed of movement and flew at high speed into a car moving in the same direction. To date, this is the most expensive accident in the world.
Classical racing car, released in 1962-1964, is not designed for travel on modern highways. Cars of this class and this cost usually cost expensive garages collectors, they are occasionally taken to exhibitions and shows (and usually this happens not on their own, but in special vans). Why the car owner dared to go on the road that day remained an unsolved mystery.
