An ill-fated motorist crashed his brand new Ferrari in spectacular fashion – just one hour after purchasing the more than $260,000 sports car in England.

Police said the Ferrari 430 Scuderia “went airborne” when it careened off a wet M1 highway in South Yorkshire on Thursday, the BBC reported.

It rolled more than 160 feet down a bank and burst into flames in a field.

Luckily, the driver walked away with cuts and bruises — to both his body and ego.

“Officers asked the driver what sort of car he ‘had’ to which he replied, ‘It was a Ferrari,’” South Yorkshire police said. “Detecting a sense of damaged pride he then said, ‘I’ve only just got it, picked it up an hour ago.'”

The department tweeted pictures of the unfortunate wreck — which reduced the Ferrari to a twisted pile of metal — saying it was a “miracle” the driver made it out alive.
