Photos of the crash have been published on social media including Twitter and Facebook.

The car involved appears to be a Ferrari F40 worth more than $2 million.

The twin-turbocharged machine was wearing a temporary dealership plate used for test drives.

Two examples of the rare machine are currently listed for sale in Australia – one in Sydney for $2.39 million, and one in Brisbane for $2.7 million.

Less than two dozen examples of the car are kept in Australia.

Built only in left-hand-drive, between 1987 and 1992, the Ferrari F40 is considered a modern classic.
