Speeding was identified as a possible cause of what is believed to be one of the world's most expensive ever road accidents when up to £2.6 million-worth of supercars ended up in a crumpled heap on a motorway in Japan.

Eight Ferraris and a Lamborghini – plus a Toyota Prius – were among the vehicles involved in the crash, which witnesses said happened when a speeding car slid across a wet road surface.

Television footage showed mangled Ferraris – many of them racing red – and debris spread over some 400 metres of the eastbound side of the Chugoku Expressway, the main trunk road in southern Honshu.

Supercars are not necessarily owned by the super-rich in Japan. Many owners are young people who save up their earnings to satisfy their dream, according to media.

Maybe you should read your own news articles before posting them. At least let the froth subside a little.

If you want to rail on morons who do not possess the appropriate driving skills to be driving high performance automobiles near their limits on the public roads, then I will join in with you. The only place driving a high performance car near it's limits should be tolerated is on the race track. But if this is yet another one of your "I hate the 1%, we must confiscate all their possessions" rants, you bore me to death with your communist vision on the world.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

It may be just the opposite of what he intended. Sounds like many owners of these Supecars actually saved up their money and bought them. Quite different than his constant ranting about how the government should subsidize his lifestyle.

1%...really?

You think the 1% drives 355s and 360s? I didn't see a single 458, not even a 430.

this is the 14% or 15% at best.

Peace, love and hoppiness

The perks of living at home with mom?
I mean how do you save up well over $250k?

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

LOL @ saved up money.
Asian mentality on saving money includes on saving it for a rainy day/kid's education... not saving money for a Ferrari.

Of course, as we all know, all Asians think alike. Just like Blacks and Arabs.

It's called sacrifice and being frugal. Perhaps not hanging out at bars and running around with women. Perhaps making smart investments.

Cool, I'm a 1%er!

Good thing that there is insurance. Hopefully, the people working at the auto plants will be manufacturing additional vehicles.

My wife is hotter than your wife.

Just not to the point of camping out somewhere downtown.
