A coroner's inquiry into the infamous crash at the junction of Rochor Road and Victoria Street in May early this year has revealed the Ferrari 599 GTO was seemingly set at 'race mode' and was travelling at 178km/h, almost three times faster than the official speed limit.
The limited $1.8 million Ferrari beat the red lights and collided with a taxi killing the driver and occupant besides himself. His passenger, 23-year-old Ms Wu Weiwei, a student from China, survived but sustained injuries. Interestingly it is believed the occupants of the Ferrari were wearing seatbelts.
The driver of the Ferrari, Mr Ma Chi, 30, who was the Managing Director of the software development firm, Techaccount, received a local driving license only eight months prior to the crash.
Mr Ma's autopsy reports indicate traces of chlorpheniramine - a pharmaceutical drug commonly used to treat flu or allergies. The drug can cause drowsiness, giddiness and blurred vision. Four cameras surrounding the area captured the crash from various angles but a dashboard camera mounted on the Ferrari recorded the speed at point of impact.
