TWO men who "turned the streets into a racetrack" escaped serious injury yesterday when their $250,000 Ferrari wrapped itself round a power pole.

The driver, in his 30s, and his passenger walked away from the wreckage and were treated in Royal Adelaide Hospital minor injuries after the crash in Walkerville, north Adelaide.

They left the five-year-old Ferrari Modena split in two by the pole.

Neighbours said the supercar crashed minutes after it went "zinging" past their homes. "I was outside my house talking and we heard something fly up and it was this black Ferrari," Vlado Blazeka said.

"It sounded just like, 'zing, zing', as it went past.

"The pole split the car in two and it's basically up where the gear stick should be."

Lana Errey rushed to help the two men after the accident happened 200m from her art gallery.

"It's like they turned the streets into a racetrack," she said.

Police investigating the accident have yet to interview the men.

Yeah Ferraris are designed to split in half in a wreck like that, I guess to keep the engine away from the driver in case it catches fire. I dunno, I just heard that once... And I love how the article says "their $250,000 Ferrari wrapped itself round a power pole." Haha, I doubt the Ferrari wrapped "ITSELF" around the pole, I'm sure it was aided by a couple of morons!

they split in half to reduce mass, which reduces momentum which means you will stop faster when your out of control.

Same thing for formula 1 cars.

I have yet to figure out how you can hit a pole like that.. "what do you aim for it" or is it just the fact that the driver lost control at a very high rate of speed and found a pole.
