No thats not it.
The Russian one burnt to a crisp.
Edit, here it is. The scene looks similar, but the car is in one piece and has been on fire. Wierd.
Edit again, just looked more thouroughly, it is the same car. :O

Doesn't top the guy who stole 2 x Enzo Ferrari's from the UK, 1 black and 1 red, took them to Usa and even had pictures on the net of both of them together.

He was only found out as he stacked one of them.

What the..........? How many of them could there be and it wouldnt be that hard to locate them to find out of it was stolen...........

I think the whole story is on exoctic wrecks web site, its a long read but worth it..........

After following another link on that site, I wouldn't mind one of these. However, I don't know it would fare when it comes to negotiating driveways:

I think you’ll find that the phrase, “ A Ferrari owner doesn’t mean a Ferrari driver”, was said by the great Alan Moffat after that F50 crash in the Cannonball Run up in the Northern Territory.

I did read in one of the news bulletins that this Russian Ferrari driver might have had his car sabotaged which may have caused the crash. Possibly linked to the former agent who was poisoned with a lethal dose of radioactive substance.
cheers

Yeah its a shame it happens the world over though, it a fact that most people believe themsselves to be better drivers than they are. It get worse when you give them more power as well. More track time for high performamce cars........
