The car we're showing you above is the Mansory 458 Spider Siracusa, dubbed the "Monaco". It was presented back in April 2012. With a name like that and only 3 examples ever built, it practically demands attention.
Not all attention is good attention though, as this next clip will. The radically tuned Ferrari 458 Spider was being taken for a spin around the streets of Monaco, its radical exhaust system burping and blowing gasses all the way. The scene is reminiscent of Senna in his glory days, but the police doesn't seem to approve and stops the car for a routine check.
Monaco police is notorious for its policeman and women, who would much rather you drive an electric car or ride a bicycle. But because this is a city of millionaires, they sometimes close their eyes, like in this case.
For those who don't speak fluent "millionaire", here's what they were saying:
- Police officier through the walkie-talkie : "For all the cars from the Top Marques show, you let all of them go, no need to stop them..."
- Police officier : "So you're from the Top Marques show?"
- Driver : "Yes!"
- Police officier : "You can go then."
- Driver : "Thanks, don't worry, I wouldn't have accelerated otherwise!"ÿ
