Some of the automobiles, which were parked several meters apart on a residential street, collide in a split second as the Ferrari ploughs into them, according to home surveillance footage.

The driver, clothed in a t-shirt and shorts, can be seen frantically trying both doors before fleeing away through the driver’s window.

The seriously damaged Ferrari SF90 following the incident on Wednesday, May 26 in Halesowen, near Birmingham, West Midlands.

The luxury Italian motor – which can reach speeds of up to 211mph and was once dubbed the ‘quickest car of the decade’ by MotorTrend – was discovered at the scene by emergency crews.

The driver of the vehicle was not present at the scene, according to the fire service, and police say they are now attempting to locate them.
