Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition crashes down Giau pass in Italy

An Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition has wrecked out at the Giau pass in Italy. According to media reports, the car was being driven by a tourist, who was lucky to walk away from the accident without a scratch.

The crash reportedly took place high up in the Dolomite mountains in Italy’s Belluno Province. Images of the aftermath shared by the Italian fire and rescue services suggest that the driver may have lost control while negotiating a tight bend. They show the Vantage F1 Edition wrecked out on the mountain slope. The car appears to have veered off the tarmac before hitting a boulder.

The Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition is a special edition of the V8 Vantage. It celebrates the brand’s return to Formula 1 after a gap of 61 years. The sports car is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 that produces 528 hp, slightly more than the standard car. It can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
