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:

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.

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

nice one!

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

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!?
