Driving a luxury sports car like a Ferrari on a sandy beach is a risky proposition, as one owner discovered on New Year’s Eve at Revdanda Beach in Maharashtra. A video capturing the unusual sight of a Ferrari California T being rescued by a humble bullock cart has gone viral on social media, drawing both humor and astonishment.
Ferrari Meets Soft Sand
The incident occurred at the picturesque Revdanda Beach in Raigad district, near Mumbai, where the owner of the Ferrari California T took the ₹3 crore luxury sports car for a joyride. Unfortunately, the soft sand proved too much for the car’s wheels, leaving it stranded despite its powerful engine and luxurious build.
Local residents initially attempted to push the Ferrari out of the sand, but their efforts were futile due to the car’s 1,600 kg weight and its wheels sinking deeper into the beach. Ultimately, the owner sought the help of a nearby bullock cart, a modest yet reliable savior in this unlikely scenario.
The Viral Rescue
The viral video shows the bullock cart being tied to the stranded Ferrari with a rope, and within moments, the two bullocks managed to pull the car out of the sand. The spectacle of a traditional bullock cart rescuing a state-of-the-art Italian sports car was a humbling moment that drew laughter and applause from onlookers.
Social media users were quick to react, with many praising the irony of “bull power” outperforming Ferrari’s famed “horsepower.”
