Reuters reports that a speeding Swiss motorist was fined 299,000 Swiss francs for speeding at 100 miles per hour in his Ferrari Testarossa.
A court in the northeastern Swiss canton of St Gallen gave the millionaire the hefty penalty, which outstripped the previous record of 111,000 francs handed a Porsche driver in 2008 in Zurich, after a string of previous traffic offences.It goes without saying that that is a very expensive and exorbitant ticket. 100 km per hour is only a little over 62 miles per hour. It does not even seem excessive.
"The accused ignored elementary traffic rules with a powerful vehicle out of a pure desire for speed," the court said in its judgment of the motorist, who clocked speeds of up to 137 km per hour on country roads, said daily Blick.
The St Gallen Cantonal Court ordered the man to dip into his 23.3 million franc fortune, which included a villa with a garage containing five luxury cars.

Well, it’s finally happening. Ferrari is officially making a hybrid…or at least officially showcasing one.
At the Geneva Motor Show in March, Ferrari will display a hybrid variant of their 599 GTB Fiorano. Details on the car are still a mystery but it will likely utilize the all-wheel drive hybrid system that Ferrari patented in June of last year.

Sidley Austin and Taylor Wessing are among a raft of top firms in line to win advisory roles on the ongoing Formula One crisis.
Eight F1 teams - the overwhelming majority of participants in the competition - are threatening to break away and set up their own series as a result of a dispute with the motorsport's governing body, Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), over budget capping for 2010.
The Formula One Teams Association (FOTA), created last September by a leading group of racing teams including Ferrari, McLaren, Brawn GP and Williams, said last night (18 June) said that it had no choice but to begin preparations for a new championship after the FIA refused to remove the cap.
Since then, the FIA has announced that it plans to sue the breakaway teams. A statement said: "The FIA's lawyers have now examined the FOTA threat to begin a breakaway series. The actions of FOTA as a whole, and Ferrari in particular, amount to serious violations of law including wilful interference with contractual relations, direct breaches of Ferrari's legal obligations and a grave violation of competition law. The FIA will be issuing legal proceedings without delay."
The FIA is turning to US firm Sidley Austin for advice on the dispute, while Taylor Wessing is thought to be advising Brawn in relation to the issue.
It is understood that each team in FOTA is using its own legal external legal adviser, with the organisation taking advice from all of the firms, although it would not confirm the names of those involved.
Baker & McKenzie is understood to be advising McLaren. The firm is a longstanding adviser to the team and previously advised on its 2007 dispute with Ferrari, which led to a record-breaking $100m (£60.8m) fine for McLaren. On that occasion Ferrari turned to CMS Cameron McKenna.
Taylor Wessing recently advised on the creation of Brawn GP F1 through a management buyout of the Brackley-based Honda team which went bust earlier this year. The firm won the mandate as a result of a longstanding relationship with F1 heavyweight Ross Brawn through the firm's head of competition, EU and trade Martin Baker.

A speeding Ferrari recently cost a Swiss millionare the price of a small yacht.
Eastern Switzerland's St. Gallen cantonal court slapped a $290,000 fine on a repeat offender who reportedly sped down country roads at up to 137 kph (85 mph in a zone where the limit was 50). According to Reuters. he was caught while "racing through a village at 100 km per hour in his red Ferrari Testarossa" (above).
It's a hefty fine by anyone's standards, but when a man worth $22.6 million repeatedly and brazenly breaks the law and endangers lives, perhaps a big dollar amount is all that will get his attention. "Court clerk Heidi Baumann-Becker said Thursday the unidentified driver can appeal the decision, handed down in November, to the Swiss supreme court," reports Yahoo.
If you like the Tessarossa above, click the pic -- it's going for $45,000 in New Jersey.
