    Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes, a Lamborghini and two other vehicles were involved in the pile-up in the southern prefecture of Yamaguchi.

    No-one was seriously hurt, but the road was closed for six hours after the accident.

    Media reports estimate the damaged cars are worth at least 300m yen ($3.85m; £2.46m) in total.

    The drivers were on an outing to the city of Hiroshima.

    The sports cars - driven in convoy by a group of automobile enthusiasts - were on their way to Hiroshima, reports Japanese newspaper The Asahi Shimbun.

    Read on Jalopnik that they were driving in pairs (side-by-side) and that added to the "epicness" of the wreck.

    Anybody who goes on a drive with a group of others should look at these pictures before you start driving. This is why you do not tailgate and drive within your limits. All it takes is one dope to screw things up and before you know if a bunch of cars are in the shop, if not worse. If you want to race go to a race track. If you want to drive fast on a public road look out for Hyprids :)
