The Most Expensive Car Crashes Ever

Crashing your car is something that should be avoided like the plague. Aside from the potential for injury, the sheer damage caused can be financially catastrophic. Like most terrible things in life, a crash is often unavoidable.

As experts in car repairs in Ilford and the surrounding areas we have seen our fair share of accidents and pride ourselves on getting them back to showroom quality as quickly as possible. Despite the fact that the average accident repair cost is less than £1,000 pounds, there are certain collisions that stand out from the rest with their monumental costs.

Top 4 Costly Car Crashes

Without further ado let’s go through our list of the most expensive car crashes. If these vehicles rolled into our workshop, our expert team would have their work cut out for a car repairs!

1 – Ferrari 250 GTO

We’ll begin with one of the most expensive car crashes in history. The anonymous driver of this Ferrari 250 GTO had driven their car in races prior to his accident without any problems whatsoever. Yet the moment he took the race onto the streets, unsurprisingly they were left with an astronomical repair bill.

It occurred when the car in front stopped suddenly, whilst driving. The Ferrari, which is probably worth more than most countries GDP, made a crunch heard around the world. Before the car may have been worth between 30 and 35 million dollars, the owner would have been lucky to get a few million after the state it was left in.

2 – Ferrari 250 GT Spyder

As aforementioned, some car wrecks are simply unavoidable and on this occasion Mother Nature decided to play her part and bury this Ferrari 250 GT Spyder in the sand. Yes that’s right, the owner of this Ferrari, worth up to $12,200,000, was left with a pile of scrap metal after it was hit by a hurricane.

It just goes to show that not all car accidents take place with on the road, or with other motorists.

3 – Bugatti Veyron

What on earth was this motorist thinking driving his Bugatti Veyron into the river? Full credit to them though for making it that far! Aside from the estimated $2,200,000 worth of repair, it looks like this so-called ‘legal’ driver could be forking out even more money in defence fees in order to keep him on the streets (and out of the water!)

4 – Unknown Car

Immediately you can tell this once magnificent supercar, worth between 1 and 4 million dollars, is now as much use to the driver as it was when it first arrived at the garage in parts. Based on the evidence, this was a colossal car accident, which according to reports also involved a couple of Lamborghinis and additional Ferrari’s.
