This incident allegedly occurred in Brazil during a local (?) carnival. While driving on the street, the owner of the Prancing Horse supercar was suddenly surrounded by a mob of frantic kids and teens running around with foam sprays, which of course, they used on the Ferrari…
If you watch the clip until the end, you'll see a wiser driver of a white Porsche Panamera making a hasty U-turn to avoid the foamy fate of the F430 Spider. Video follows right after the break.
Yet from some sort of miracle, coincidence or perhaps divine intervention, both the driver and passenger were saved – though they did suffer some injuries.
A report from local news site Vimaonline, said that the man driving the Ferrari and whom we see injured in the video, is ship owner I. Leontiadis.
Eyewitnesses said that Leontiadis was driving too fast for the conditions of the wet road in Vouliagmeni and at some point lost control of the F430 smashing into a tree on the median. The crash was so severe that the Ferrari broke in two.

Would that be enough to draw 10,000 spectators from around the world? Perhaps not and that’s why the 2011 Finali Mondiali Ferrari event that was hosted last weekend for the 19th time, had much more to offer to the Tifosi.

As with anything else in life, sometimes it pays off, sometimes it does not and our amateur producers are left with a bitter taste in the mouth.

Too bad for us but...luckily for him, the man behind the video camera was nice enough to point out the shiny red ‘ENGINE START’ button on the steering wheel (honestly, how can you miss it?). Watch the amusing clip after the jump.

Patrick Fritz, the person who filmed the video outside of Fry's Electronics, came in contact with Carscoop and detailed the events that eventually led to the Ferrari driver punching the cabbie.
Here’s what Patrick told Carscoop:
“I saw this altercation from the very beginning. The Ferrari was trying to leave the Fry's Electronics parking lot as the Taxi driver pulled in front of him, cutting him off. The Ferrari driver was pissed that he got cut off. There was NO collision.Read more »The Ferrari driver then peeled out as he drove up past the cab and stopped in front of him and began yelling at him for "driving like an a$$hole". Then the Ferrari driver got out of his vehicle and approached the cab driver. That's the beginning of the video.”
Story has it that the cabbie allegedly rear-ended the Italian supercar, but did not cause any significant damage to the vehicle – or at least non that can be seen in this amateur video that was filmed after the two cars parked on the side of the road.
Unfortunately, instead of exchanging information, the driver of the Ferrari was in the mood for some talking with his…fists. We can’t hear all that was said between the two men, but it looks like the only person going overboard here was the F430 driver. Watch the video right after the break.

There are probably more Pontiac Fiero-based imitations in the world than real Ferraris. Today, though, we have something a little different. No, it is not a Pontiac Fiero-based Lamborghini Miura (we have already had one of them), it is a Toyota Celica that has been transformed into a passable F430 replica. Did I say passable? Well, only just. From the front, it looks okay, with the hood, headlights and A-pillar being sufficiently F430-like. As you move back, however, it all starts to unwind. The awkward side window treatment, slab-sided rear flanks and the shape of the rear windscreen just seem wrong. Though you can’t expect much from trying to transform a front-engined, front wheel drive Japanese coupe in a mid engine, rear wheel drive Italian exotic.
