The power that the internet holds these days means big money often finds its way into younger and younger hands every year. The upside to that is that supercar drivers now have the time to let others experience the joys of Italian exotics and basically act the way you would if you were very young and rich.
We've seen plenty of these reaction/ride clips, including ones where homeless people get the experience of a lifetime. But the most famous ones are the so-called "gold digger pranks" where girls believed that they were getting a ride in a Bugatti or Lamborghini, but as soon as they saw that it was an average car, they made a lame excuse to back out, thus making them gold diggers.
This next video comes from Youtube channel "whatever" and is basically nothing like that. We're sure that all of the guys here would have appreciated a ride, no matter what it's in… but a Ferrari, well that's an entirely different story.
whatever's video also has a controversial side to it that everybody seems to notice and hate. Immediately after an African American gets inside the Ferrari, a policeman arrives on a motorcycle and gives them a ticket.
"The reason I pulled you over is you can't have front tinted windows," the riding officer says. He's absolutely right (though they're not actually tinted), but since he came from behind, he probably couldn't have seen the windshield all that clearly.
Who the people behind the video are
whatever is a Youtube channel that specializes in reactions and social experiments: I'm a super hot girl and I would like to get intimate right now; I slept with your boyfriend; I'm pregnant and want to get drunk.
The Ferrari 430 actually belongs to a friend of the video presenter and has been featured in one of their videos before. Built between 2004 and 2009, this V8 supercar was Ferrari's most popular ever before the arrival of the 458. When new, the suggested retail price for one of these way between $187,000 to $217,000 in the United States. Its 483 hp (490 PS) 4.3-liter engine can help it accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4.4 seconds.
Note: Is that the Hyundai Elantra GT in red? Huh, guess somebody actually bought one.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
