We've said it once and we'll say it again a thousand times: modern supercars are dead-easy to drive… slowly. You just put the thing in drive and tug at the steering wheel. A while back, we showed you how a Hooters Waitress had a hard time working the clutch in a Lotus Exige S. No such problems in the Ferrari 458 Speciale, as you're about to see.
Youtube Ontario Supercars has just uploaded this video which allegedly shows a 16-year old girl driving a brand new Ferrari 458 Speciale to this weekend's Cars and Coffee gathering in Toronto. How do we know she's 16? We don't, we'll just have to trust them.
This is supposedly the first customer delivered Speciale in Canada and it belongs to the girl's father. We Googled the "ALZERO" number plate and found it could be linked to Italian wine specialist Giuseppe Quintarellli, but that's just speculation on our part.
We don't know for sure where the money to but this supercar came from. But does that really matter? No.
Just imagine you've brought your new Golf GTI or Honda Civic to show off to your friends when this 16-year old hottie turns up in the latest Ferrari V8 supercar with 605 horsepower. Now that's something that doesn't happen every day.
That's one lucky girl, not only for getting to drive the car, but also for living in North America where 16YOs have such liberties. We wonder if Maranello designed the 458 knowing at least 1% of the customers were teens, like her.
