In an ironic twist that captured global attention, a $350,000 Ferrari California T found its salvation not in another supercar but in a pair of Indian oxen.
The incident, which occurred on December 28, became a viral sensation, offering an unexpected metaphor for the intersection of modern luxury and traditional ingenuity. Two tourists from Mumbai decided to take their Ferrari California T — capable of reaching speeds of up to 196 mph — for a scenic drive along the coastal region of Raigad. However, the Italian thoroughbred was no match for the fine sand of the Indian beach, becoming hopelessly stuck despite its 553-horsepower V8 engine.
As onlookers gathered and various attempts to push the vehicle failed, help arrived in an unexpectedly traditional form: a local farmer with his ox cart. In a scene that could have been scripted for a comedy film, the convertible Ferrari was rescued by one of humanity’s oldest modes of transport.
“When horsepower fails, ox power prevails,” quipped a social media user, capturing the delightful irony of the situation. The video shows the Ferrari being effortlessly pulled out of the sand by two oxen, a feat that neither human muscle nor Italian engineering could achieve.
The incident didn’t end with just laughter, however. Local authorities filed reckless driving charges against the Ferrari’s owner. It serves as a reminder that even the most advanced technology has its limits, especially when venturing off the beaten path.
This is not the first time traditional Indian transport has come to the rescue of modern vehicles in the region. In a similar incident, an electric car belonging to a local politician in Rajasthan had to be towed by oxen after breaking down, sparking discussions about the reliability of modern vehicles in diverse terrain conditions.
