Inclement weather from Storm Christoph has been sweeping across the UK, and last week, it claimed one pretty expensive victim: a Ferrari 812 Superfast that was damaged after a crash on a highway in West Yorkshire.
The 812 Superfast, Ferrari’s flagship front-engined supercar, comes at a hefty starting price of $335,000. It features a 6.5-liter V12 that produces 788 hp (799 PS / 588 kW) and 529 lb-ft (717 Nm) of torque, and does the 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than three seconds on its way to a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h). Unfortunately, this particular car appears to have suffered an extensive amount of damage, and will likely cost a pretty penny to fix – if it’s not a write-off, that is.

Highways England tweeted a picture of the overturned car, which appears to have crashed through a protective barrie. They captioned the picture “Storm Christoph 1 – Ferrari 0.”
#M621 anti-clockwise J1 #Beeston to J27 #M62 lane 1 is currently closed to facilitate the recovery of vehicles involved in a collision.

The incident happened last Tuesday morning just before 12 PM on the M621 motorway in West Yorkshire on the anticlockwise section between Junction 1 and 2, and it’s not yet known if it has resulted in any injuries.

Coincidentally, the 812 Superfast crashed just a couple miles away from a Ferrari dealership, but Zebby Hussain, the JCT600 Ferrari marketing and digital manager, confirmed that it had nothing to do with the garage and called it a “very unfortunate accident”.
While Highways England had confirmed that one lane of the M621 had been closed, it later reopened after the Ferrari had been recovered. West Yorkshire Police also stated they had no ‘active logs’ for the incident.
