Ferrari F40 Gets Flogged On A Frozen Lake
Read the full story on Backfire News We personally know many car enthusiasts who would do unspeakable things to own a Ferrari F40. But this YouTuber who has one in silver decided to take it and flog the 80s supercar on a frozen lake to entertain his viewers. And his friends joined in with other supercars, making us wonder just what the total damage was for making the the damage done to these supercars was minimal, especially for the long run. But, we're of the opinion cars were made to be driven, not just parked and looked at like some sort of sculpture. The F40 and the other rides all get studded tires, otherwise they would struggle for any traction. But even with the studs, the beauty from Maranello still wasn't turning the tightest on the slippery stuff. Even with that it still looked plenty graceful. Ironically, the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, a supercar that's supposedly made for off-road driving, suffered some damage on the lake. Thankfully, it was just some plastic under cladding, but we bet it's extra expensive plastic. Later, a second Sterrato and a local sheriff's car also participated in the madness. So did a Porsche 911 Turbo S. There's a huge oddity among the exotic rides at the frozen lake: a Mazda Miata. It's not just your average one, either. As the owner shows off, the steering wheel is on the right, like you'd expect to see in a JDM model. But, the pedals are all on the left. Don't ask us, it's just weird. This sort of thing, taking exotic supercars and even hypercars out onto a frozen lake to be driven hard, is something that's done often in places like Switzerland. So, it's not like these guys came up with something entirely original. But it's still fun to watch them play with their toys. Images via Supercar Ron/YouTube

Watch a Ferrari F40 on Studded Tires Go Drifting on a Frozen Lake
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." The Ferrari F40 has a reputation — or rather, it has a couple of them. Most notable among those is its well-deserved reputation as one of the greatest cars ever, but over the past few months, the F40 has also become known as the beloved supercar that keeps getting involved in strange crashes. That might make some owners wary of putting their prized possession at risk... but if your business is racking up views on content about supercars, it also makes this the perfect time to cash in on the attention with a compelling stunt. Like, say, throwing studded tires on your 1980s F-car icon and going drifting on a frozen body of water. Automotive influencer Supercar Ron shared a post earlier in the week on TikTok revealing that he was putting studded tires on his F40. Naturally, the next step was to actually drive the car on ice. As a new post that went live Tuesday reveals, he's done just that — much to our jealousy. The clip is brief, but it shows the F40 owner driving around on what seems to be a deeply-frozen lake in the F40. Even with studded tires, traction seems to be difficult to come by. The result is a lot of big slides, complete with rooster tails of snow being carved up from the lake. Snow and ice drifts in supercars may seem unusual, but in some places, they're commonplace; in fact, such behavior is an annual tradition in the scenic Austrian town of Zell am See. The annual event, now called the F.A.T. Ice Race, now has a matching event in Aspen, Colorado, and even carmakers are getting in on the fun; last year, Porsche ran a Le Mans-spec 911 GT1-98 around the frozen track as a demonstration during the event.
