Ferrari owner sues ‘unapologetic’ Chinese parents whose kids scratched $530,000 supercar
As a dad, driver wants to be lenient, but insincere attitude and paltry compensation offer by children’s guardians brought on legal action
A Ferrari owner in southwest China is considering legal action after some children used his supercar as a slide, damaging it while their parents remained unapologetic.
Zhang, from Kunming in Yunnan province, recently parked his red Ferrari, valued at 3.6 million yuan (US$530,000), in an outdoor space before leaving on a business trip.
While he was away, a neighbour told him four boys had climbed onto the vehicle and repeatedly used it as a slide.
Surveillance footage showed the children approaching the car with long bamboo poles before scrambling onto the roof.
When Zhang returned, he found scratches across the bodywork and a cracked bumper.
Zhang told Jiupai News he initially avoided going to a Ferrari showroom because the alleged culprits were children and, as a father, he wanted to be lenient. Repairs there, he said, would have started at about 100,000 yuan (US$15,000).
