A luxury Ferrari worth up to $1 million has been destroyed in a dramatic single-vehicle crash on the Gold Coast, leaving onlookers stunned after the supercar split into two pieces upon impact with a tree.
The crash occurred at approximately 9:15am on Saturday on Rio Vista Boulevard in Mermaid Waters, Queensland. Emergency services, including Queensland Police and Queensland Ambulance Service, responded quickly after reports that a high-performance sports car had left the roadway and struck a tree.
The vehicle involved was a Ferrari SF90 Spider, a plug-in hybrid supercar with a starting price in Australia of around $960,000 and which can exceed $1.7 million depending on specifications and optional extras. The impact was so severe that the car was torn into two sections, scattering debris across the roadway.
Authorities confirmed that the male driver escaped without major injuries, despite the catastrophic damage to the vehicle. Queensland Ambulance Service said paramedics attended the scene, but no one required treatment or transport to hospital, making the outcome remarkable given the extent of the crash.
The Ferrari is associated with Gold Coast property investor and social media influencer Sam Gordon, who rose to prominence through his real estate business and online financial content. Although authorities did not officially identify the driver, Gordon later posted a video on Instagram reassuring followers that he was safe. He thanked those who had contacted him with messages of support and praised Ferrari's engineering for protecting the vehicle's occupant during the collision.
In his video message, Gordon said he was "all good" and expressed appreciation for the safety features built into the Ferrari. His comments quickly attracted widespread attention across social media, with many followers expressing relief that the crash did not result in serious injuries.
Police have launched an investigation into the single-vehicle collision to determine what caused the Ferrari to leave the road. At this stage, no details have been released regarding speed, mechanical issues or other factors that may have contributed to the incident. One lane of Rio Vista Boulevard was temporarily closed while investigators examined the scene and arranged for the wreckage to be removed.
Sam Gordon has become well known in Australia's property investment sector after building a large real estate portfolio from a young age. He has frequently shared business advice and lifestyle content online, including posts about purchasing what he described as his "dream car"—the Ferrari SF90 Spider involved in the crash.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion about the safety of modern supercars. Despite sustaining catastrophic structural damage, the Ferrari's passenger cell appears to have protected the driver, highlighting the effectiveness of modern crash engineering and occupant protection systems.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. No charges have been announced, and anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant information may be asked to assist investigators as inquiries continue.
