If you even remotely like cars, this footage of a Ferrari Roma trying to tackle the picturesque streets of Italy is something you might want to be seated for before watching.

An owner of the rare Ferrari somehow found their way into the extremely narrow streets of Italy, only to be stuck in one place.

It’s normal for most drivers to find themselves in situations like these — but that only happens when you’re confident, and sometimes overconfident, about that ‘there’s enough space.’

When it’s a supercar that costs well over six figures, however, you need a different kind of mindset to be entangled in such circumstances.

Ferrari Roma stuck in the streets of Italy

A YouTube video showing the Ferrari Roma completely stuck surfaced on YouTube back in 2021 and naturally attracted quite a bit of attention among netizens.

Ferraris are Italian to their core, but that doesn’t always mean they’re fit for its roads.

The owner of this Roma probably thought they could squeeze through without anyone noticing.

Little did they know that thousands of people would be watching.

Anyhow, as narrow as those roads may be, the Ferrari Roma is not a particularly narrow vehicle, either.

It’s 1,974mm (77.6 inches) wide, which is certainly broader than most ‘everyday’ cars.

For context, a Toyota Yaris — which is a common sight in Italy — is only 1,730mm (68.1 inches) wide.

Getting out of the problem

It’s one thing for vehicles like pickup trucks to get stuck somewhere — say, a ditch — but a supercar and narrow streets don’t usually go hand in hand.

The video further showed the driver tackling the situation after he got the Ferrari Roma stuck.

We all get nervous at times, but this case stood out.

You see, the Roma driver was trying to squeeze through further despite realizing it was an extremely tight space.

Although someone outside was trying to help guide them, another person was trying to tell the driver that it simply wasn’t possible.

It seems unclear whether it touched the walls just by watching the video, but it most certainly did.

And making those scratches disappear won’t come at a light cost.

The Ferrari Roma is now discontinued, so if you spot one, ensure it hasn’t been through trouble.
