This was later shared by a German TV star: Robert Geiss . The millionaire is known for his soft spot for expensive sports cars, which is why his grieving reaction is not surprising.

Another video shows a man walking away from the burning sports car, possibly the owner, who was just able to jump out of the vehicle. A local resident even tried to extinguish the Ferrari using a garden hose. In the end, nothing helped: the fire brigade was able to fight the flames, but the F40 only left a burned-out body . The car was then towed away.

That's why the Ferrari F40 is so special
Many Ferrari fans are bleeding from the sight of the burning F40: it is the last Ferrari that company founder Enzo Ferrari developed himself. Only 1,315 copies of the sports car were produced between 1987 and 1992. A copy is now traded for more than a million euros - a real collector's item.
