A Ferrari GTC4 supercar with an Albanian DJ and a Ukrainian model crashed in Italy. The car fell into pieces from the impact and caught fire, everyone in the cabin died instantly. This accident is notable for the speed of the car – 320 kilometers per hour. However, such a speed on public roads is not a record. In Russia there were cases of faster races.
About a loud accident wrote Italian media because it happened on the Turin-Aosta highway. And the Ukrainian media, because in the salon there was an 18-year-old model from Odessa, Anna Kraevskaya. The driver, according to the Italian police, was a DJ from Albania, 40-year-old Hysni Kestai, aka Dj Style Q. He lived in Switzerland, and his family – his wife and two children – lived in Kosovo. In Sion, Switzerland, the DJ performed at a nightclub, and then went to Italy with the model – his Ferrari GTC4 supercar reached a speed of 320 kilometers per hour, crashed into a fence, fell into pieces and caught fire. The bodies were badly burned, DNA tests had to be done. The news is being actively discussed in Italy, although similar accidents with supercars happen here three to four times a year, says journalist from Italy Sergei Iezuitov:

According to the radio station’s interlocutor, there are photo and video recording cameras on Italian roads, in some areas there are many of them, but this is still not a widespread phenomenon. They are installed both above the road and on the sides of the highway. If a driver systematically violates traffic rules, the traffic police post will receive this information and stop the driver. But it is, of course, almost impossible to protect yourself from such supercars driving at speeds of 320 kilometers per hour. Manufacturers themselves usually limit the maximum speed of their creations to 250 kilometers per hour, but, firstly, sports cars are sports cars because they are not limited in any way, and secondly, tuning companies offer services for removing such limiters.
In Europe, in fact, there are few places where you can legally drive, unless, of course, you take public roads rather than tracks. Everyone has only heard about German autobahns, but even there, out of 13 thousand kilometers of such roads, only half are absolutely without restrictions. On a third of the roads there are constant restrictions of 130 kilometers per hour, the police always make sure that the left lane is clear, and so on. Italy, on the other hand, is worse than Russia in building roads, and most importantly, controlling them, in many respects, says Anton Shaparin, vice-president of the National Automobile Union:

There have been few high-profile stories of excessively fast races on Russian public roads. They either end in fatal accidents or end up on YouTube. Of the latest cases, I remember the blogger Davidich, who in the Tver region in a BMW M5 accelerated up to 347 kilometers per hour, for which, by the way, he was later deprived of his license. On social networks you can find another video with, apparently, a speed record on public roads: a driver, driving an Audi RS6, develops speed of 378 kilometers per hour. The video was published five years ago, and users are still arguing whether it is fake or not, and if not, then where it was – in the Moscow region or somewhere in Germany.
