With reports coming out that Ferrari->ke252 is in the process of doing a recall for the 458 Italia over the unprecedented number of fire incidents the supercar has been involved in the past month, we’re crossing our fingers that this recall happens sooner rather than later.
And it’s not hard to figure out why, either. To date, there have been about 11 incidents involving Ferrari’s new supercar either getting involved in some accident or getting burned down to a smoking block of twisted metal. We don’t know exactly what the cause is of these incidents, but clearly, something needs to be done there. So it’s good to know that the Prancing Horse isn’t taking these incidents sitting down.
But before we start letting out a collective sigh of relief, we’re back with yet more somber news for those 458-loving people out there. Apparently, there’s been another incident with the supercar in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to our buddies over at Wrecked Exotics, the driver of this 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia accelerated out of a roundabout a little too fast and ended up losing control of his car. After that, the car was sent crashing straight through a fence before running over some bushes and landing straight into an abandoned side road. Fortunately, the damage sustained by the car wasn’t all that significant and can be fixed with no major repercussions. Also, this crash appears to have been the fault of the driver so it’s really not hard to find out who was at fault here.
But in the greater scheme of things, you still have to add this particular incident to the ever-growing number of accidents involving the 458 Italia. Let’s just hope that with this recall coming soon, we won’t have to spend every week telling everyone about a new crash or a burning 458 Italia.
