A Walton man is due to stand trial next year charged with causing the death of a 13-year-old boy by careless driving of a £1.2 million Ferrari.
Matthew Cobden, 38, of Long Lodge Drive, appeared at Winchester Crown Court today for a hearing at which he pleaded not guilty.
The crash killed Alexander Worth, of Kings Worthy, Hampshire, on August 22 last year.
Cobden was unloading the Ferrari F50 for a photoshoot with Evo supercar magazine in North Warnborough, Hampshire.
It is alleged that when Alexander asked to take a photograph of the car, Cobden offered to take him for a ride.
The car then crashed into fencing, whereupon Alexander was killed and Cobden was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
A trial date was set for February 19.
