Indian roads and Italian supercars are two things that are not made for each other. This is because our Indian roads are filled with potholes and speed breakers, which are okay for Indian cars that have huge ground clearances. However, they are not ideal for supercars with super low ground clearances. Generally, people who own these supercars are very careful and drive very slowly over these speed bumps. But recently, a video has been shared online which shows a Ferrari 458 Italia supercar going airborne on a speed bump in Bangalore. The Ferrari 458 Italia used to cost about Rs 4.5 crore when it was on sale here in India.
Ferrari 458 Italia Goes Airborne
The video of this particular Ferrari 458 Italia jumping after speeding over a speed bump has come courtesy of Supercars Club India from YouTube. In this short clip, a Ferrari 458 Italia supercar can be seen coming from a turn at high speed. It can be noted that there was a public transport bus on the right lane and a man on a bicycle on the left. Now, because the Ferrari was already carrying a lot of speed, the driver could not stop the car fully and he jumped it over the huge speed bump.
Thankfully, the speed bump was not steep, and because of it, the owner landed it smoothly on the road. Soon after being airborne with all four wheels off the ground, it came back down on the road, and the owner then once again pushed the accelerator and went away. A few people on scooters and bikes can be seen recording this unique incident. From the video, it appears that the Ferrari 458 Italia, despite being airborne, was okay, and no damages could be noticed.
Who Owns this Ferrari 458 Italia?
For those who may not be aware, this particular Ferrari 458 Italia is owned by the Bangalore, Karnataka-based multimillionaire entrepreneur Ranjit Sundaramurthy. Presently, he has shifted to Dubai and stays there with his other expensive supercars. However, he has kept a few of his supercars in Bangalore and also brings his cars via carnet to the city and drives them around. This particular Ferrari 458 Italia is owned by Ranjit Sundaramurthy and is kept in Bangalore.
Known more commonly as RSM on the internet, he has equipped this 458 Italia with a custom F1 exhaust. This exhaust has made it the loudest Ferrari 458 Italia in the country. The Ferrari 458 Italia comes powered by a 4.5-litre V8 engine that produces a maximum power of 562 bhp and 540 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, and it has a top speed of 340 km/h. For those who may not be aware, the Ferrari 458 Italia stands as the last naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari model, and it is highly revered amongst enthusiasts who loved the screaming V8 from the Italian brand with the prancing horse.

Apart from the Ferrari 458 Italia that Ranjit Sundaramurthy keeps in Bangalore, he also owns a number of other multicrore supercars in Dubai. The list of these cars includes a Ferrari 812 Superfast Competizione, Ferrari SF90 Stradale, Rolls Royce Ghost Black Badge, Rolls Royce Cullinan, and a McLaren 765 LT.
