A little snap oversteer throw that thing into a pole or something? That hurts, what a beautiful car.

That side view is kinda funny with that service truck beside it that says "Wholesale parts delivery"...

"Sir we just got a few more parts in Inventory. Mint condition. Need a set of head lights??, no problem...!!"

I have to say it....

That'll buff right out.

Getting that thing repaired is out of question. The body is carbon fiber right? Its gonna cost way too much for someone to buy it from the insurance co. and try fixing it.

I think you can pretty well count on it being totalled. There's no way you can rebuild a car like this.

As for the wreck ...

I think Carrera GT rotors are a PCCB, or Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake. Ceramic rotors tend to be brittle

Ferrari uses Brembo/Ferrari designed CCM - Carbo-Ceramic Material .
