A 0-60 acceleration time of just 2.0 seconds makes the Ferrari SF90 one of the quickest supercars today. Pushing out 769 hp from its turbo V8 engine alone, along with added power from three electric motors, takes it up to 986hp. It’s even quicker than the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37. The hybrid Ferrari can manage a top speed of 211 mph, making it among the world’s fastest cars. Also, it sends its power to all four wheels, making it an easier sports car to drive on the road and track compared to its predecessors.
Zayn Sofuoglu, a 3-year-old boy on Instagram, is born into a family lucky enough to own the very same Ferrari, which is about half-a-million dollars. This fast car belongs to his father, Kenan Sofuoglu, who also owns a few other dream cars and superbikes. The father is a Turkish parliamentarian and a former professional motorcycle race champion.
Child Encouraged To Park Parents’ Ferrari SF90
The little one has been encouraged to learn how to park his father’s Ferrari after taking it for a short roundabout. Zayn Sofuoglu walks into the garage from his house, picks up a chair, and places it in front of the buttons that give him access to open the roller shutter door. With a GoPro in hand, he steps onto the doorsill of the SF90 Stradale and mounts the camera onto the roof of the car. He then picks up a tabloid that seems to fit into a yellow fancy cover with handles on either side.
The screen gives him a clear view from above the SF90 Stradale. He places, what could possibly be an iPad on the central console, and then lowers himself deep into the footwell in order to reach the pedals while his hands are on the steering wheel. He gives the accelerator gentle inputs as he watches the screen.
The entire process is slow, but he has been careful. The Ferrari successfully circles around the tree. The boy then straightens up before he reverses back perfectly into the garage. Finally, he tugs at the paddle shifters, leaving the car in ‘Park’, and steps out like he’s been hired for the job. Fortunately enough, no red paint was harmed in the making of this video.
Similarly, Zayn Sofuoglu is also found parking his parents’ Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ on his Instagram handle. Only in this case there were no GoPros and iPads involved. The front cameras and the large display were all he needed for guidance. It was also great watching the four-wheel-steer working to make his job easier.
Supercars That Kids Love To Drive
According to a supercar driving experience firm, TrackDays.co.uk, even children below the age of 17 are allowed to drive supercars of their choice, with professional guidance, that is. Under their ‘Junior Supercar Experiences’ category, kids between the age of 10 and 17 are given a package that lets them drive two of their dream cars for about 3 miles in a safe environment. Some of the exciting cars include a Ferrari F430, a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, and an Aston Martin Vantage V8. At £79.00 (~ $95.38), we think it’s worth it.
The blog on the website mentions that, although there is a wide choice of sports cars to experience, the Lamborghini Gallardo is a high-performance car that kids prefer most. The second most popular car is the Nissan GT-R, which is then followed by the F430. It’s no surprise the Lamborghini is on top of their bucket list, given how poster-worthy the car is all over the world. Even the plug-in hybrid BMW i8 is one of the models they like driving.
How Can I Drive Fast And Safe?
To drive a supercar confidently, it’s vital to spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Get started with affordable track day events, where you can push the car hard in a safe, controlled environment. However, be sure of the car's capabilities. The other thing about these highly desirable exotic cars is the more you drive them, the more reliable they become.
Whatever you do, do not turn off the safety net on your expensive car. Traction control, ESP, and ABS ensure you’re a hero, even if you’ve just begun learning how to drive. Using the Axle lifter on your supercar can save you damage costs because this feature helps raise the axle up-ahead, letting you tackle incorrectly-built slopes and bumps.
Remember to be aware of the surrounding drivers that might be distracted by your car. A searing-red Ferrari SF90, for example, is bound to make heads turn, be it a motorcyclist or someone driving a car. In an attempt to get a closer look at your swanky whip, they might end up putting a dent in it!
