A Volkswagen Scirocco, a Porsche Cayman and a Ferrari 360 Spider were playing in Hong Kong on January 20, with the Prancing Horse being left behind. As you can see in the dashcam footage, the driver suddenly accelerates, but the rear end steps out and the 360 Spider ends up performing an unintended PIT manoeuvre on a taxi.

According to Hong Kong News, the police managed to trace the hit Ferrari subsequently, but the vehicle had been abandoned.
