I'm sure the tire marks will come off, but I do agree the donut was a bit extreme. I don't see an issue with them putting the car up there, but peeling out and marking something sacred to that area is a bit far.

what marketing genius thought up this hare brained scheme???

LOL... This is like Merecedes bringing over an SLS and doing donuts in Arlington national cemetery.

The driver was a local salesman .... dont blame Ferrari for the bad judgement call and display of arrogance.

You can buy a Ferrari but you can't buy class. What a shame..

Autoblog reported it too, but they mistakenly called it the Great Wall. I'm guessing the responsible Ferrari dealership employee is no longer employed (if still alive).

I've been there. FWIW the wall is gigantic; fortunately they didn't disturb/deface the entire landmark. If the wall has survived 6 centuries of erosion and foot traffic, I'm sure it can handle a 3,200 lbs ferrari.

Sorry but dont blame the car and its a wall.Really........Shouldn't have been allowed but i cant see real outrage over it.Take a pill scrub off the black and move on.

Sorry but dont blame the car and its a wall.

Sorry, but that's being a bit insensitive. It's not just a wall to some people. I'm not the world's biggest history buff, but even I recognize that some things are worth preserving. After all, the NSX isn't just a car, right?

A historic site in China's former capital that dates back more than 600 years to the Ming Dynasty was damaged Sunday after a Ferrari raced across it before a publicity event for the Italian carmaker, the official Xinhua news agency said.
