World's fastest Ferrari ends up in Atlantic Ocean

This is the moment the world’s fastest Ferrari span out of control – and ended up in the Atlantic Ocean. Zahir Rana was driving the 240mph Ferrari Enzo in the Newfoundland Targa road race in Canada when he suffered a ”slight mishap” on the gravel surface.



He lost control of the £1 million-plus supercar and spun 180 degrees before careering off the road and ending up in the water. Miraculously, Zahir and his co-driver Roland Linder escaped from the submerged supercar without injury. The Ferrari drifted back to shore before being lifted from the water onto the back of a waiting recovery vehicle.



Zahir, a supercar dealer from Calgary, Canada, says the one-off Enzo only suffered ”slight damage” to the front bumper and wing and will be repairable. He said: ”My first thoughts were I love my Enzo and to me it’s the best thing ever but I suppose it’s just a car.

”With speed comes a little bit of risk and this is what happens when you push and are into racing.” The Ferrari Enzo is the most extreme legal car to ever come out of the famous company’s factory in Maranello, Italy, with just 400 rolling of the production line. But Zahir’s model is a one-off based on the FXX race car and tuned by German tuner Edo Competition.
