A FERRARI race car was left absolutely wrecked on a quiet residential street after flipping over a RANGE ROVER in a high speed smash.
Photographs of the red sports car – which appears to be covered in racing stickers – shows it with a totally crumpled bonnet.
A Range Rover was left flipped onto its side in the driveway of a nearby home following the auto carnage in Ipswich, Suffolk.
Suffolk police were called to the scene on Lindbergh Road in the east of the town at 7.04am on Saturday.
Police were later seen inspecting the crashed cars after the smash and two police squad cars appeared to have blocked it in.
The road was taped off while the cops dealt with the smash, but the road has since been reopened and traffic is flowing freely.

SuffolkLive reported that a person was detained by police after a crash in a residential Ipswich street involving the Ferrari race car.
The force has not confirmed whether the person detained was driving either car.
Gary Smith, 51, a resident on the street, said he heard the Ferrari rocket down the road “full whack” before hearing a massive crash.
He told The Sun Online: “He was going as fast as that car would go, it was flat out.

“I just thought what the hell is going on, it sounded like the Formula 1.”
Gary – who has lived on the street since 1999 – said the car then ploughed into a parked Range Rover, flipping it on its side.
He said the crash was so loud it sounded like an “explosion”.
The engineer said how about thirty seconds after the smash the engine miraculously “started up again” and the driver tried to move it but with little luck.
The 51-year-old said the gentlemen who owns the flipped Range Rover was left in “disbelief” that a race car could send a 2.5 tonne motor into the air.
