Ferrari trapped in Seville’s narrow streets

A tourist driving a Ferrari Roma Spider became stuck in the narrow streets of Seville’s historic center, Casco Antiguo, in mid-October 2026. The incident was captured on video by bystanders and quickly shared on social media, drawing widespread attention.

Narrow streets challenge modern cars

The historic district of Seville, known as Casco Antiguo, consists of narrow alleys that predate the automobile. The Ferrari Roma Spider, measuring 4.66 meters long and 1.97 meters wide, is not suited for these tight spaces. Access to the area is restricted to residents, those with parking permits, and public services.

Ferrari’s powerful engine and performance

Under the hood of the Ferrari Roma Spider is a powerful biturbo V8 engine producing 620 horsepower, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. However, in the confined streets of Seville, the car’s performance was irrelevant, as the driver focused on maneuvering without damaging the vehicle.

Unique features of the Roma Spider

The Ferrari Roma Spider features a fabric roof that can open or close in 13.5 seconds, even while driving up to 60 km/h. This design allows for an open-air driving experience but is not practical in the tight streets of Seville’s historic center.

Public reaction to the incident

The video of the incident was posted on Instagram by Aymeric Grassart and sparked a range of reactions. Some mocked the driver’s choice of car for the area, while others speculated it might be a luxury rental. Many residents expressed frustration at continued vehicle access to the restricted zone.
