The luxury motor, believed to be a Ferrari 488, was involved in the pricey smash on Friday afternoon (Apr 1)

Photos shared by police show the front bonnet crumpled with scratches all across the front of the flashy red sports car.

The driver, who was uninjured, was left counting the cost after his pride and joy was involved in the crash shortly after he purchased the car in Derby.
