Driving a supercar is the childhood dream of any auto enthusiast and only few will get the opportunity to experience it, as it is out of reach for many. But sometimes the excitement of driving these monsters is over the moon and they would end up losing concentration just like what happened to this woman in China. She took delivery of a rented Ferrari 458 and was waiting for the signal turn green after coming out of dealership.

Then the signal turned green and during acceleration she lost control of 458 and spins across the road then hit a X3 before coming to halt. Even though the accident happened at low speed, the damage on Ferrari is huge as the left hand side wheel is broken and the bumper is a total mess.

The woman might have turned the traction control off and was not in the right settings as it was raining which might have caused the 458 to loose grip while acceleration and resulting in accident.
