Surely that could only have happened if they had the traction switched off?

I don't think that was a "test drive" as such. I think it is one of the many companys around the factory that rent out various models for 10-20mins for €100 ish!
I hope the driver read the small print as the excess on the contract you sign is huge!!!

Near the end of the video, you can hear someone say "careful c**t" in Italian three times in a row.

LOL at least the seats will be clean with the factory covers on.
Will be sold on in a few weeks never raced or rallied!

Not been to Italy for ages but it sounded like a pedestrian!

Reinforces my thinking that sitting in the back of a convertible with the top down making you look a tool

Maybe a replica driver..... provoking oversteer whilst letting the wheel spin through his hands!

A Cali isn't it?

Alarm bells should have been ringing when that tool in the tank top showed up!


Nightmare for the guy in the passenger seat.

Yeap that's what this is. Cant believe it does not happen every day, if you where to see some of the vettals that shown up. In fact I cant believe Maranello gets away with all this racing round the streets.

The cops aren't interested if your in a Ferrari in Maranello. Obviously a arrangement exists for them to drive like this around there.

Paris is the same, Ferraris for rent to drive around the City in various places.

No arrangement with the police, they simply have a light hand because a full blown approach would have a negative impact on local businesses...so far they have been lucky nothing major happened (ie no injuriesto people, only damage to cars and properties) although a severe shunt completely destroyed the front of a 458 in Via Musso 3 or 4 years ago...

So what would the excess be?

[Reeso]

about €5k
