Fabio Lanzoni Crashes Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

The 50 year-old Italian fashion model Fabio Lanzoni, also know as (or should we say only known as) Fabio got himself into an unfortunate mishap at the end of the week, as he managed to damage a $400,000 worth Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (not a Scaglietti, as the first reports mentioned).

The former writer wannabe (if it slipped your mind, Fabio wrote the "best selling romance" novels Pirate, Roque and Comanche, you know, Sandra Brown's male version) was attending a World Class Driving sanctioned event on Mulholland Drive near Calabasas, California, when the Ferrari he was driving supposedly ran out of brakes and hit some type of road obstacle, tmz.com reported.

The result of this accident is not as bad as some might think (even though "bad" is a relative term, given the steep price of the Ferrari). The car suffered damages to the front and end bumpers and fenders, as well as on the right side of the body.

As you might have guessed, the Fiorano was not owned by Fabio, but by World Class Driving, the first "automobile entertainment" provider in the US, as the company calls itself. And if you thought the owners of the Fiorano (who shares the same garage with the likes of Bentley GT Speed, Callaway C16 Coupe or Lamborghini LP560-4) got mad about the crash, you are right.

According to the same source, World Class Driving said "No comment. We are not very proud of the fact that Fabio wrecked our car." Therefor, we doubt the former Acapulco H.E.A.T. (Hemisphere Emergency Action Team...WTF?) star will ever be asked to attend the event ever again.
