Pedigree, good looks and great marketing are very persuasive tools, something which Ferrari used to great effect when promoting the Mondial. Featuring styling by Pininfarina, an innovative mid-engined layout and a clever monocoque chassis, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Mondial was a proper little supercar. Not so. With only 205bhp being produced from its 3.0-litre Tipo F106B FI V8, the Mondial had a 0-62mph time of 8.2 seconds. In other words a current BMW 320d could beat it away from the lights.

We’re not really sure what went wrong here, but it certainly looks like driver error. If you look closely, you can just about make out the embarrassed driver clambering out of the car. This image leaves us with so many questions, the most pressing being: why did Porsche build a car park right next to a river in the first place? Thankfully, according to rumours on Twitter, the Gulf Liveried Porsche 911 GT3 RS is not too badly damaged and should be back on the road shortly.

Technological advancements have allowed car manufacturers to produce high-downforce cars without the need for big wings. The Aston Martin DB11 is a case in point. Through extensive testing Aston have developed an ‘AeroBlade’ rear spoiler, which channels air from the C-pillars to reduce lift - thus no need for a heinous wing. The problem is, we like big wings. Personally I love the Pagani Huayra’s active aero. At a standstill the car looks elegant and refined. But when the driver gets on it, the wings come out to play.
