This is the shocking moment a couple on a supercar tour were killed when their Ferrari slammed into a Lamborghini which in turn caused a campervan to flip over during a high-speed overtaking manoeuvre on an Italian road.

The blue Lamborghini was trying to pass the white campervan driving in front of it as a line of colourful sports cars made their way up the road yesterday in South Sardinia.

But seconds later footage shows the red Ferrari behind it trying to overtake at the same time, causing the Lamborghini to smash underneath the campervan, which is then violently flipped onto its side.

The Ferrari, which is out of view on the other side of the campervan, also overturned on the other side of the road, where it caught fire, trapping the couple who were inside, according to reports. 

The Swiss tourists in the Ferrari were aged 63 and 67. They burned to death in the incident, according to local media.

Firefighters and air ambulance operators were working on site and the road was closed.

A couple from Selva di Val Gardena, aged 61 and 62, who were travelling in the campervan 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,’ Lorenzo M., who was sitting in the campervan, told Italian news outlet L’Unione Sarda. 

The couple crawled out from between the seats and were able to escape the vehicle.

‘When we came out we thought we were in hell,’ he added. 

The Ferrari was on fire and screams could be heard from all around the crash site, Bild reports. 

An Indian couple in the Lamborghini were also injured and hospitalised.

In the video, the blue Lamborghini is shown heavily damaged at the side of the road surrounded by a cloud of dust and smoke, with the campervan blocking both lanes.

The remains of the three vehicles have been seized by the authorities as the investigation continues.

The supercars were driving on the 195 Sulcitana state road in the commune of San Giovanni Suergiu in South Sardinia.

The couple had departed from Forte Village and were heading for Mores, Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera reports.

According to Italian media, all occupants of the luxury cars took part in the Sardinia Supercar Experience event.

Over six days, the participants drive across the island in Ferraris and Lamborghinis, visit viewpoints and stay overnight in expensive hotels.

If tourists travel in their own car, the trip costs £10,409. A multi-day trip in a rental Ferrari SF90 from the organiser can be booked for £21,515.
