Une Ferrari Challenge Stradale utilisée comme simple taxi !

[Franck 6 685]

Ce n'est pas une blague : vous pouvez emprunter une Ferrari Challenge Stradale jaune pour vous conduire comme un simple taxi ! 

Pour cela il vous suffit de vous rendre dans la ville de Jakarta ! Il s'agit de la compagnie MMCab. Incroyable non !?  ;D

La pauvre, dans les rues très embouteillées de Jakarta, elle doit souffrir !  :-\

C'est un peu du gâchis d'utiliser la CS dans le trafic  C:-) Il ne doit pas beaucoup rentabiliser ses courses...

Un peu débile je trouve, l'auto devait être rouge à l'origine ( phares)

[Franck 6 685]

Le jaune doit être la couleur des taxis à Jakarta comme à New-York.

Je sais, mais ils auraient du peindre le globe des phares

On voit régulièrement des Ferrari 360 Modena repeinte avec les phares restés dans la couleur d'origine car il faut décoller/recoller la vitre du phare pour réaliser l'opération, qui s'avère donc délicate.

La suite de l'histoire : ce taxi est illégal ! 

"After causing a buzz in Jakarta by offering a free ride to passengers, a Ferrari taxi operator has admitted that the taxi was intended solely for the purpose of shooting a movie.

MM Cab announced through its web site last week that its bright yellow Ferrari 360 taxi and a Porsche Boxster S taxi were going to be shuttling passengers for free on Saturday and Monday in several malls in the capital.

However, a production house which was producing a movie quickly denied the luxurious cars were operating commercially on the streets of Jakarta after the Jakarta Transportation Agency issued a warning about illegal operations.

The production house claimed that it was shooting a movie.

Jakarta Transportation Agency head Udar Pristono said the agency issued a warning to the taxi operator for using an illegal logo and yellow car plate which could only be used by licensed public transportation.

“Although they said that it was only for shooting purposes, the operation of the Ferrari taxi violated regulations because it used an illegal logo and yellow car plate as the Transportation Agency never issued the permits,” Udar said on Monday. “They also operated it. That’s why I gave the production house a warning on Saturday.”

To prevent the incident from happening again, the production house has signed an agreement with the Transportation Agency in which the movie maker promised not to operate or show off the taxi in public areas again.

The company has pulled the taxis from the streets since Saturday night.

“Despite the agreement, it does not mean that we are not going to make any supervision. We are still going to keep an eye on them, and if the Ferrari taxis return to the streets then we will issue them a tougher sanction,” Udar said.

He also said that the sanction the agency would impose was to seize the taxis to stop them from operating and using the illegal logo and yellow car plate.

The agency chief added that public transportation companies had to undergo a series of procedures according to local law to obtain the plate and logo permits.

“So, it’s not easy to obtain a permit to operate in public transportation. We don’t issue them easily. Public transportation or taxi owners must pass a series of tests,” Udar said.

Previously, MM Cab said it was going to operate the Ferrari and Porsche taxis throughout the day at various points across the city, including several popular malls in both South and Central Jakarta.

The free trial was expected to last two more days, including Saturday and again on Monday.

There were also rumors that the taxi would charge a low far, but MM Cab countered the rumors through its Twitter account (@mm_cab) that the flag-down fare was going to be Rp 100,000 ($11). "

Fin de l'histoire : il s'agissait en fait d'un coup de publicité (raté) pour un nouveau produit bancaire ! 

"Passengers were being taken for more than just a ride when it emerged that a taxi firm offering lifts in the world's fastest super cars was in fact just a PR stunt.

Wealthy residents of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, may have thought that their luck was in when a new cab company offering rides in Ferrari's and Porsche's arrived on the city's circuit.

The taxi firm which went by the name of MM Cabs claimed to be catering for the rising number of people in the city wanting to enjoy a luxury lifestyle."

"But it turns out that the company never existed and it was just an extremely elaborate marketing campaign by Indonesia's biggest bank, Mandiri.

The bright-yellow super-cars were fitted with taxi signage and MM Cabs logos but were nothing more than a publicity campaign for Bank Mandiri's new smartphone App for iPhones and Androids.

Hoards of excited Jakartans flocked to MM Cabs Twitter page expecting to find out more about the exclusive offering and it was from there that the confusing publicity stunt became clear.

The social media followers were then able to click a link which took them to Mandiri's website which was promoting the new mobile banking app."

"The campaign is thought to have cost the company a whopping £135,500 which includes renting the two super cars.

Passengers who managed to make the most of the weekend-long promotion of free trips, rode in style in 2011 models of a Ferrari 360 Modena and a Porsche Boxster S but despite being ferried around in some of the world's fastest supercars they probably never had the chance to see the speedometer climb over 20MPH.

Jakarta is home to nine million people and is famed for its grid-locked roads but MM Cabs appeared to have notched things up a gear to offer lifts between the city's top end shopping malls for its wealthiest of residents."
