Ital Auto sued over crashed Ferrari

[inlinesix]

no idea, but I guess most high end cars with gizmos, as seen on some motoring tv, will help to recover the car.

 

When tyre lose traction, no amount of gizmo gonna help. No even CARBON CERAMIC BRAKES.

i read he drive at 67km/h. how to loss traction at tat spee huh

[Ezfaun]

Tester probably suka suka turn off TC and skid under power and try to countersteer. Then let go of gas which makes the rear tires suddenly gain traction. Then the torque of the engine (even though it's decelerating) rotates the car even more. The worse possible thing to do here is to brake. 8 years ago got happen the same thing with my ns mate's MR-S. Both are MR cars. Hmmm.

tester or that technician need to get ready for 2nd job

he risk the AD's reputation n causing huge amount of liability to the company

probably over confident after 20yrs

also old already, he should be a supervisor after all?! why taking risk?

They're too atas to get their fingers dirty from typing on a keyboard. All their PCs are for show only.

One particular thing from the Stomp article bugs me though, as Ital was quoted as stating,

 

"The car was travelling at 68kmh on a straight path when it skidded"

 

How did they know exactly at what speed the car skidded? Was there some kind of logging software on the car similar to a black box on an airliner, or did the car happen to have a car camera with a GPS function? Or was the 68kmh figure declared by the driver at the time? Was the driver staring at the speedometer instead of the road?

 

If it was the two former, I would imagine there was a lot more data that exists to describe what happened in the lead up to the incident. If it was the latter, well, let's say I would have a mouthful of salt if there wasn't any other corroborating evidence.

i never knew ferrari could go so slow. must be engine idlng speed.

68km/h in first gear?...

 

its very possible in many cars out there today...

[Jajoba123]

probably technician never service a Scuderia before. he thought is a normal F430. so he undermind...

all goes back to this Technician... only he knows wat happen

20yrs experience, must be ex-Hong Seh stuff.

I'm assuming that because gave such an exact figure have some data

"The car was travelling at 68kmh on a straight path when it skidded, the company added."

 

 

heng my family cannot afford to own any falali...I am confident enough to say that my vios will not skid at 70km/hr on a straight path and it cost only 1/10 of the falali.... [sleeping] [sleeping]

Stomp photos clearly show treaded tires on the car. The damage also suggest it didn't merely strike a curb as bodywork as high as the rear engine hatch is damaged.

 

E-diff malfunction while the car was travelling at speed? If it was not driver negligence but mechanical malfunction, then the Ferrari factory needs to look into it.

 

The way I see it, the owner of the car deserves to get restitution - unless he is grossly over-valuing his car.

Normal road can drive 68
