Potential Buyer On Test Drive Steals $2.2 Million Ferrari

Perhaps sellers should grab some sort of collateral from potential test drivers before handing over the keys to the car. Especially when one is worth this much.

A man in Germany just learned that lesson the hard way after allowing a prospective vintage car dealer to take his super rare 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO out for a spin.

As the two were swapping seats, the now thief sped off with the $2.2 million Italian roadster.

Police managed to track down the “historic vehicle” to a garage located about 18 miles from where the crime took place, but the suspect is still at large.
