A valet in Monaco crashes a LaFerrari

AlexFL · 08-27-2022, 12:13 PM

As an exotic owner, this is your biggest nightmare. Looks like a parking brake malfunction tbh.

Then don't valet your car, man.

dangerus_car · 08-27-2022, 12:41 PM

Always put your gear to P when idle. I do, to avoid any parking brake malfunction. Unless the transmission itself is at fault.

Imagine letting a valet touch your $3m car.

That’s a valet parking in front of a Michelin star restaurant in Monaco. Pretty certain that they are used to park exotics.

Humdizzle · 08-27-2022, 02:23 PM

thats really odd. not sure what happened. idk if its valet error.

i do know that on 458s it will disengage the parking brake if you are sitting in 1st or R and apply light throttle. you will feel some resistance and the the brake will release.

my guess its either a car error or he left it 1st and applied the parking brake. the car then sensed some type of load and disengaged the brake. to park these cars you need to leave it in first and shut it off, or if you want to idle you put it in neutral then pull parking brake.

Idk if it's just me the guy doesn't look like a valet.

NickyC · 08-27-2022, 02:41 PM

Ouch! Nice to see one of these monsters in something other than resale red though.

I know exactly where that it is too heh, been in that area many times.

Well we know they can afford another 1. Oh well.

I bet they don't even carry Michelin tires too.

Irony is you can’t put the F8x DCT in park without turning the car off, there isn’t a park button

It’s been a long time since I’ve driven a 458, but I don’t think it had a P button either, probably the same across other models.

Bumper2Bumper · 08-27-2022, 06:50 PM

Driven my share of Ferraris, you can hear the parking brake engage. When someone not in the car it should never have moved. I would have to go test this but I think the car would even go into park or N if you open the door after putting the parking brake on.

Either way, this does not look like a valet, why would a valet be getting in and out of customers cars with a side strapped purse?!?!? That alone would have pissed me off if I was the owner.

if you give your million dollar car to someone on minimum wage what do you expect?

The bigger question is... why do so many "men" in this video have purses?

HXS · 08-27-2022, 10:19 PM

Didn't look that bad...

I'm sure the owner has enough money to fix that. Probably be pennies to him.

But the car is also now worth $500k less

$500K to the owner would be like $500 for us normal folks. Wouldn't make a dent in his fortune

It’s Europe. The man bag is pretty common.
