Supercar fans look away: Mercedes reverses onto bonnet of $300,000 Ferrari

Shocked owner said it was 'the dumbest thing he'd ever seen' as he returned to see the damage

The driver of a Mercedes caused the scene of a small, but potentially pricey, accident as she reversed over the bonnet of a $300,000 Ferrari.

Video footage taken moments after the collision in Great Falls, Virginia saw a cringing crowd slowly gather around the two red vehicles to see how things would unfold.

It occurred during a car meet on August 6, with the driver of the Mercedes 380 SL attempting a parallel park as she drove onto the 458 Speciale.

“That’s a big, big, big problem,” said one surprised onlooker.

An attempt to move the Mercedes was unsuccessful, seeming only to cause more damage as its back wheels spun with a high-pitched screech against the side of the luxury vehicle.

The Ferrari owner eventually appears in the crowd, bewildered by the ordeal.

“Are you f*****g serious?” He exclaimed. “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.”

As the family inside the Mercedes try to reason with the owner, the woman who caused the accident approaches the man, saying: “oh my god, I’m shaking”.

“Nobody was hurt”, one of the passers-by says, trying to calm the situation.
