We have received a flock of new photos of the Ferrari LaFerrari crash last week in Shanghai, China. The cause of the accident has been determined as ‘aquaplaning’, the car becoming a speedboat on a very wet road. The driver, since identified as the 27 year old Qin Fen, can be seen on the first photo talking to a policeman, wearing a black sweater with the hood up .

The man in the hippy-hip yellow bag pants is a friend who came to help, driving a Volkswagen, which he parked right in front of the Ferrari. The Volkswagen has a sticker on the window saying ‘Carpe Diem’, or ‘seize the day’. Let’s hope that is not some sort of invitation to the heavens to crash more supercars.

This particular car featured in our April story on a secret supercar garage in Shanghai. It is the seventh LeFerrari in China we know about, after a red one in Guangzhou, one in Chengdu, a double in Shanghai, one in Beijing, and a first in Shenzhen. It is the first LaFerrari to crash in China, but not the last, we bet.

The LeFerrari is expensive in China, when new te speedy Italian went for an astonishing 22.5 million yuan or 3.67 million USD. Lotta money but lotta horses: the LaFerrari is powered by a hybrid power train consisting of a screaming 6.3 liter V12 connected to a F1-style KERS system. Total output is 950hp and 900nm.
