Video of the crash shows a red Ferrari trying to overtake the blue Lamborghini and the camper van at the same time. The Lamborghini is forced underneath the camper van, which flips onto its side.

The Ferrari overturned and caught fire - trapping the couple who were inside. Mr and Mrs Krautli, aged 67 and 63 died in the fire, according to local media.

The couple travelling in the camper van, aged, 61 and 62, were injured and taken to hospital.

“We were lying sideways in our seats. For a moment we were silent in disbelief. Then I looked into my wife's eyes and asked her if she was okay. She nodded.

“When we came out we thought we were in hell.”

Video of the aftermath shows wrecked cars by the side of the road, as black smoke billows from the flaming Ferrari.

The cars were taking part in the Sardinia Supercar Experience event where participants drive across the island in expensive cars and stay in pricey hotels
