In a rescue mission you’d usually only see on Comedy Central, a Ferrari California T has been saved from being stuck on a Mumbai beach.
The $350k Ferrari supercar is quite a roaring animal when it comes to track speed, but a beach?
Well, that’s a different story.
One Ferrari California T owner found themselves in serious trouble as they were treading sand in Mumbai.

Beached Ferrari California T gets rescued by bulls
Cars are very much used to being on roads. The minute they leave the surface, it can be a recipe for disaster, especially sand.
Not even Jeep Wranglers can master the beach, never mind a supercar.
In a viral video surfacing on Twitter, two tourists beached a $350K Ferrari California T on the sandy shores of Revdanda Beach, India.
The car, much more used to fresh tarmac than soft sands, was caught with its front wheels spinning in circles.
Despite the tide being at a safe distance, this wasn’t the ideal parking spot for the Ebony and Ivory-hued supercar.
Failed attempts at pushing it free and digging out tracks didn’t seem to work, but one extremely helpful local came to their aid with their two powerful pets.
Bulls.
Yep, we’re not bulls***ing you here, the fabled prancing horse needed bulls to be dragged free.
The custom Ferrari was attached to the back of a bull-drawn cart and with a spur of their heel, the local helper yanked the car free of its ditch.

“When horsepower fails, bull power prevails,” one social media user said.
The Ferrari California T boasts a 3,855 cc twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 553 horsepower but was no match for the farmyard hooves.
It’s quite a relief for the owner of this Cali T though, as even the most expensive cars can find themselves victimized by the beach and lost to the waves for decades.
The California T is one of Ferrari’s more distinguished road cars, preceding the Portofino, and finds itself in several celebrities’ collections, including Nick Cannon’s.
