"I Broke a Ferrari, I'm an Idiot": Supercar Spotter Drives Off with Frunk Open

If you enjoy spending time on the automotive side of YouTube, you've probably come across the clips of supercar spotter and occasional reviewer Marchettino more than once. The young Italian enthusiast, whose name is Marco, has recently attended the Top Marques Monaco event, where, among other things, he was supposed to drive a special Ferrari 458 Italia. Alas, things didn't exactly go as planned...

To be more precise, Marco forgot to secure the frunk of the Prancing Horse before setting off. The inevitable happened, so he didn't even manage to shift into second before things turned nasty.

"My camera was still running the moment I broke my mistake my friend R3 Wheels' Ferrari 458 Speciale. A erroneous closing of front bonnet has caused its sudden opening as I took off with the result of smashing the windshield," Marco explains.

Despite the Fezza delivering audible warnings, the driver failed to notice the issue, once again proving that driving errors are embedded into the human source code. Fortunately, the owner of the supercar seems to have taken things lightly, at least judging by the reaction he has on camera.

In case you're wondering what he does for a living, the guy who supplied the 458 happens to own a few custom wheels brands, label displayed on the car included.

We have to admit we had noticed this 458 due to its Milka chocolate-like livery (the Ferrari previously had a Marlboro wrap) and we were looking forward to Marchettino's drive, but when the unexpected hits, there's not much you can do.

P.S.: This happening might make some wonder about the daily driving experience of the supercar spotter. We should probably mention that Marco, whose nickname we believe has something to do with Ferrari's Manettino, started off with a Fiat 500 Abarth, but also acquired an R35 GT-R earlier this year.
