Ferrari burnout angers China

Burning rubber on a Chinese landmark isn’t the best way to promote a brand – one Ferrari employee did it anyway.

Now Ferrari are up to their eyeballs in apologetic gestures after the dealership worker was filmed doing donuts on a section of a 600 year old Nanjing wall.

The hoon-like PR stunt left parts of the Ming-Dynasty era landmark smeared with tyre marks.

Worse still, Chinese officials claim structural damage has also occurred which will result in a hefty after-party cleanup bill for the luxury car company.

While Ferrari can easily foot the bill – estimated to be over $600,000 – the brand may struggle to win back China’s respect.
