The pictures are from another forums without explanations, only speculations.

[WRX]

it probably went down the hill at a very fast speed and then up the concrete stones explaining the scratches on the front it could have gone fast enough to have part of the car dangling in the air and still have momentum to push the car forward onto the roof and who ever did this is an idiot and also :fist: you whoever is responsible

[altezza]

i think that guy is very lucky, coz' it looks like only the front bumper is damaged, lol

[bmwfreak]

Prancing Horse just became Timid Roof-Dwelling Bird. Hmmm.

[5vz-fe]

from the direction of the car, I don't think it's possible for the Ferrari to land at that spot....

[nejcdolinsek]

wow... flying onto the top of a roof and minimal damage. That is one lucky owner!

[meetmeroundthecorner]

Now thats an expensive practical joke!!!!! Bloody drink drivers!!!!!!

[jon_s]

wow... flying onto the top of a roof and minimal damage. That is one lucky owner!

That is what I though!

Althoug, there may be damage under the car :?

[Sm@ck]

I think the question should be:

How can that shack still be standing?... ´Damn, that is one lucky owner...Probably had to get a crane to get the car off...

[cho_888]

isnt is obvious. God himself couldn't handle such a beast! lol. all jokes aside what happened?

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Nooooooooooooo, poor little baby, omg, Ferrari should confiscate that Maranello and never sell a car to this idiot. :x :x :x :x :x

[SFDMALEX]

How did he get there? Ferrari's have wings didnt you know?

[spitfire6000]

ouch look at that front bumper, thats like 20,000 for that scratch lol

[jon_s]

Are we sure this was not a stunt for a film :? with a jump just before the roof?? lol

If you look at the kerb, there is very little damage, something must have connected to push the car in the air. It looks like the front skimmed the roof, as the first section looks like it has been rolled back a bit. But if you look at the roof as a whole, the car looks to have just landed there. There are no marks where the car has been, nothing. Surely there would have been some tyre marks somewhere.

It would be interesting to see a shot from further away :?

LOL Thats the real question Sm@ck !

Good interpretation jon_s! :) I understand equally your astonishment, because how a car that has enough speed for landing on this roof, have been able to brake for only to remain there ? Like you said Jon_s there are no tyre marks on the street and the roof. That's strange. :?

[Hawk]

If it is a practical joke they certanly didnt show the right side of the roof. Mabey someone is comiting insurance fraud?

[PATo355]

It was a gift from god man !!! i want a Ferrari in my roof for xmas too :D

[SPEEDKILLAR]

¨^^^^^^hahahahahahahaha, I want an SL55 AMG on my roof, I'll put some soft protection for it to land on it. :lol: :lol:

[jon_s]

They could have made a more convincing job of it lol

I am completely at a loss as to how this happened!

[No.1]

Come on :!:

Anybody who has ever sat inside a Ferrari knows that the little stick where the gearstick should be isn't actually to engage reverse on the F1 box. :roll:

It is actually a button that if pressed three times in quick succession makes the car jump. I believe that the old 550 could only jump a few inches. They have surely improved the system on the 575M, it now jumps more than a few feet :shock:

:wink:

[HeilSvenska]

The Ferrari is SOOO good that it actually flew. Simple enough then.

[he7lius]

It's a flying ferrari.

[coombsie66]

Arnt the front bumpers on ferrari's made from aluminium? Not fibreglass as in this case? This makes me think its a hoax, or a stunt for a film or sumthing.

[Chaos in 1983!]

:shock: ...how the fuck did this happen???

[bobafett]

Good question. The front bumper looks legit to me. I will go look at my 550 and compare.

[coombsie66]

^^ I hope u aint gunna go and smash a hole in it to see!?? :wink:

[jon_s]

^^ I hope u aint gunna go and smash a hole in it to see!?? :wink:


:lol: nice one!

I doubt the bumper is metal, it would not get throught the safety regs.

[coombsie66]

I swear the ones on the gumball vid on the 360's and F50 are alumimium, cus all the stone chips go right back to the bare metal?! :?

[jon_s]

As in you can see white? I would have thought that you are seeing the base coat. :?

[coombsie66]

As in you could se shiny silver aluminium!!? I dun no, could be wrong, i did a quick search and the 550 comes with aluminium coachwork, wether that includes bumpers im not too sure. I'd just presume that ferrari would use abs plastic rather than fibreglas for their bumpers if they wernt made from aluminium as the rest of the coachwork is!? :?

[Schwalbe]

You have reason coombsie66, me also I saw it in Mischeif 3000 vid, the front bumber of a 360 Modena and F50 are truly in aluminum.

It's therefore possible that the front bumper of the 550 is equally made by the same material.

[jon_s]

:shock: really, that is a new one on me. bobafett, what is the answer??

ok, I have neen looking on wrecked exotics fot the answer.

I don't think metal would break this way...

or this way:

but this does look like metal:

[normy360]

It's the prototype Ferrari Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

[coombsie66]

Yeah, its difficult to tell from those pics jon. I cant b arsed to search anymore! lol, just wait for bobafett!!

[jon_s]

I am avoiding doing work, so anything is an option at the moment lol

[coombsie66]

lol, im trying to do work, but everything else on here seems to drag me away!!!!! lol

[adlinyusman]

I guess told his valet to park his car where everyone could see it. :mrgreen:


I'm parking myself from now on damnit.

[oscargarza88]

looks like the driver was going at a relatively slow speed, and just didnt see the turn (he was prolly getting head :D) and just slid onto the roof, which explains the scrapes. the scrapes also tell us that the curb actually helped to keep him suspended which the right wheel was unsupported. thats probably y u dont see much damage to the front end. thats just my interpretation, i could be wrong.

PS to get those yellow lines, i just lined up the tires , the scrape lines on the curb, and the dents in the roof.

[toprpm]

man .......he is so lucky to own it, farrari should teach them how to slow near turns and then go around it not throw it......


JABBA sorry to say that ... :twisted:

but i wish to see you do this kind of stuns with your lovely cars ...


ehehhehehehhehehe :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[rallyprox]

No. No. You all have it wrong. This guy obviously bought the extra option of the hover packs (costs $50,000 extra). Then he was merely hovering along and then he ran out of hover boosts and that is where he landed. He was also traveling at a very slow speed when this happened and at a very low altitude (about 3ft) because he knew he was about to run out of hover boost. The fall from 3ft created the little dents where the rear wheels are sitting right now, but was not enough to break the roof. There now that I have shown all of you your errors, I am glad to be of service

[SPAD]

WHO EVER DID THIS SHOULD BE HUNG BY THERE PENIS!

[Gnome]

It has just jumped straight up there. I was amazed buy the braking distance, but it isn't that unbelievable.

My version: The front bumper hit the curb first. The front was thrown up in the air, but when the left front wheel hit the curb the car started rotating (rising the left side, lowering the right). Then that poor thing landed on the edge of the roof with the rear right wheel still off the roof, causing the bump on the edge of the roof. That would slow the car down considerably.

I know the explanation isn't water tight, but it isn't very bad either...

[possessed_beaver]

lmfao thats damn funny, im glad someone took photo's of it aswell.

imagine been the driver, and thanking all god that the car diden't fall off the roof!!

hahaha

nice find.

[SamuraiGti]

already seen that in other side.

will be more difficult to take out of there than when the owner put it there ahah =P

[sameerrao]

How did he get there? Ferrari's have wings didnt you know?


Must be Red Bull

[sameerrao]

Or could be the latest version of KITT - Knight Rider - Michael must have hit the turbo boost button by mistake... Wooo Wooo. I used to love that show when i was my teens....

[Evo]

That's cool.. I want the same option on my car.. :mrgreen:
