It's called an F12 Berlinetta and, thanks to a 740 horsepower V12 engine, it's the fastest wide-series production Ferrari ever made. It will do well over 200 miles per hour and has been known to out-accelerate the brutal Tesla P85D. But this particular Maranello Marvel is in a sorry state. Some would consider it a worthless pile of junk, but not the owner!
That's right, we found yet another crash-damaged supercar for sale. When new, the Ferrari had a sticker price of €355,000, but now it's only worth a measly €77,000.

Still, that's not cheap when you look at the amount of crash damage dealt to the Rosso Berlinetta Italian machine.

The passenger side (that would be the right) suffered the least amount of damage. But it looks like firefighters used the jaws of life to pry the doors open, which left a huge gash in the side.

On the driver's side, things are a little less pleasant to look at. The front bumper is ripped in half, together with half the suspension, half the hood and half the roof. What's happened here is that rescuers actually cut the car to get the people out. That might have saved their lives, but the Ferrari probably can't be fixed.

From some angles, it looks like Harvey Dent / Two Face trying to explain how the world is cruel and the only morality is chance.

Which brings us to the question of the day: would you pay €77,000 for a pile of Ferrari junk? We wouldn't, considering you could buy a brand new Mercedes-AMG C63 with that kind of cash and enjoy 476 PS of undamaged awesomeness.

But a Ferrari is a Ferrari. Somebody might want to buy the wreck just to look at it. One of Picasso's cheapest sketches (not a painting) costs €150,000, so from that perspective a useless Ferrari is still cheap.

There's still some value left in the wheels, the black Alcantara interior and that legendary V12 engine. The transmission and brakes are probably intact too. But what do you do with used Ferrari wheels, put them on a Golf?
