BERLIN: Before getting behind the wheel of a £200,000, 200mph sports car, you might at least spare a few months of your precious life learning how to drive.
But police were unable to ascertain whether the driver of this Ferrari supercar had bothered with that small precaution, after they found he didn’t have a valid driving licence.
The grey Ferrari 458 was stopped on the M40 near Bicester, Oxfordshire, after a member of the public reported a sports car driving over the speed limit.
After a traffic officers discovered the driver – who was using a German number plate – did not have a licence, he was reported to Thames Valley police and taken to the ‘nearest point of safety’.
First officially unveiled in 2009, the Ferrari 458 packs a direct fuel-injection V8 engine capable of producing 458 horsepower, taking it from 0-62mph in less than three seconds.
