‘World’s youngest supercar driver’ aged 3 expertly parks dad’s £380,000 Ferrari – but can’t see over the steering wheel
THIS is the moment a three-year-old expertly parks his dad’s £380,000 Ferrari – and he can’t see over the steering wheel.
Zayn Sofuoglu is so small he can barely reach the foot pedals of the supercar but somehow still managed to park it without getting a scratch on it.
The youngster is the son of Turkish motorcycle racer Kenan Sofuoglu and so the kid has spent most of his life around high-performance motorcycles and cars.
Before Zayn was even two years old, his dad, who holds a record of five Supersport World Champion titles, started posting clips on social media of him riding a motorcycle in the driveway of their family home.
Since then, Zayn, who seems to be following in his dad’s footsteps, has been honing his impressive driving skills and can now expertly manoeuvre and park various supercars, despite being unable to see through the windscreen.
Due to his driving skills, Zayn has nearly one million followers to his Instagram account alone, which is managed by his parents.
In the latest clip, Zayn can be seen using a GoPro camera linked to a tablet inside the family’s Ferrari SF90 Stradale to take the supercar out of a garage, go for a spin and then neatly back it up into the tight garage.
While many adults could be forgiven for being rather nervous about getting behind the wheel of the supercar especially getting it in and out of a tight space, Zayn seems to take it all in his stride.
Even though he struggles to reach the pedals, he keeps an eye on the tablet and handles the car with ease, to the delight of his dad.
In 2021, Kenan, who is a member of the Turkish Parliament for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), came under fire for putting his son in apparent danger for allowing his son to ride motorcycles and supercars.
While the videos still attract negative comments with people expressing concern about the boy’s safety, so far the family doesn’t seem to be bothered.
One Twitter user wrote: “If I do this to my son, the state will take him away from me.”
Despite those concerns, it would seem Zayn has already developed a talent for driving cars and riding motorcycles and his parents are always there to ensure nothing serious happens.
