It's a Gemballa Mirage GT, one of 25 ever made and worth $750k. The driver was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and reckless driving. He took out 5 cars in total.

These guys get in these super/hyper cars and turn off all the nannies like traction control and stability control and think they can handle the car!

1 of 25? To me, this feels like a death of exquisite automotive race craft history more than a simple automotive accident. If I were a manufacturer and found out this cat (or another family member) wants to purchase another exotic car? DENIED!!!

Same basic car that killed Paul Walker. The Carrera GT does not have (never had) any stability control nannys. That's why you see these crazy wrecks with it.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

No stability control but I'm pretty sure they had traction control. None the less is has been notoriously difficult to handle when being pushed. -
When I had my modded MINI Cooper S that I use to do track days with I use to love passing high HP cars driven by rich guys who couldn't drive in the corners. Of course on the straights they would pass me as it took no talent to do that.
They hated getting passed by a lowly MINI Cooper. When I saw them in the pit area I would always wave at them as I drove by, needless to say I got a lot of dirty looks.
If you're going to have a car like that you need to have the talent to drive it or a least have some one on one driver training with a Pro.Yamaha RX-A2070, Musical Fidelity M6si integrated amp, Benchmark Dac1, Bluesound NODE 2i, Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport, Parasound Zphono USB Phono Preamp, Fluance RT85, Ortofon 2M Bronze, Polk L600's, L400, L900's, RC80i's, SVS 3000 Micro, Audioquest Interconnects and Digital Cables, Nordost Silver Shadow Digital Cable, Cullen Gold and Crossover Series Power Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha 12AWG OCC Speaker Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha Analog Interconnect Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha 11 OCC Custom Power Cable, Signal Power Cable, Furman PL-8C 15 Power Conditioner, Sony 65" 900F, Sony UBP-X700, Fios, Apple TV 4K, Audioquest Chocolate HDMI Cables. -

Only problem with that is he might have been going way over the speed limit on an open road and lost it and killed someone or several people.
They need too take his license away and never give it back before he kills someone.Yamaha RX-A2070, Musical Fidelity M6si integrated amp, Benchmark Dac1, Bluesound NODE 2i, Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport, Parasound Zphono USB Phono Preamp, Fluance RT85, Ortofon 2M Bronze, Polk L600's, L400, L900's, RC80i's, SVS 3000 Micro, Audioquest Interconnects and Digital Cables, Nordost Silver Shadow Digital Cable, Cullen Gold and Crossover Series Power Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha 12AWG OCC Speaker Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha Analog Interconnect Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha 11 OCC Custom Power Cable, Signal Power Cable, Furman PL-8C 15 Power Conditioner, Sony 65" 900F, Sony UBP-X700, Fios, Apple TV 4K, Audioquest Chocolate HDMI Cables. -

It will take 300k to fix it, and somebody out there will do so. Not a total loss.

If you watch the very beginning of the video you can see he loses control as the car hits the painted white lines and there are a lot of painted white lines, which have a very different grip factor than asphalt. That could explain the loss of control. Another possible reason is a crown in the road at the intersection. Regardless, as noted that car is notoriously difficult to handle and being high on drugs (I'm betting coke) sure doesn't help.Political Correctness'.........defined

Police seem pretty cavalier about it. Looks like he was even going to get back into the car when the officer told him to "stand over there". Most people would be handcuffed and/or licking the pavement just for doing that, especially since the police probably had to drive thru a trail of destruction.
Those rear/mid engine cars have no forgiveness even in a slight fishtail. That weight wants to come to the front like a dart being thrown backwards. I agree @F1nut this happened in the morning, those lines were most likely wet with dew. -
Kind of curious as to why he was not even handcuffed? This has got to be the calmest officer I have seen given the circumstances.

Edited for redundancy.
