YouTuber Movlogs Hangs Ferrari LaFerrari From Ceiling; Netizens React To Lavish Room Decor
Dubai-based YouTuber Mohamed Beiraghdary, also known as Movlogs, is making headlines because of his new, unique, and rather expensive room decor. The social media personality famous for showcasing an ultra-luxurious lifestyle in the UAE shared that he had bought a Ferrari worth $500,000 ( around Rs 4.3 crore). But this car was not meant to be driven. Going against its nature, this is being used as a room decor, hanging from the ceiling as a chandelier. The video shared on Instagram showcases the whole process of bringing in the exotic Italian performance car and hanging it from the ceiling. In the video, people can be seen lifting the car and later hoisting it in the air. After a few seconds, Mohamed Beiraghdary steps down from the stairs, staring at his new chandelier and posing with it. To make things apparent, the caption on the post said, "My new $500,000 chandelier. This is my own invention that will be made." The video has gone viral on the internet and has amassed over eight hundred thousand likes and more than 24 million views. Apart from this, the comment section of the video is flooded with reactions from netizens. Reacting to the post one of the social media users said, "La Ferrari in the living room is crazy." Another said, "Looks horrible, like a plastic toy hanging, should've got a crashed one from an auction, fixed and turned that into a chandelier." While another person said, " WOOW brother, this is amazing." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Movlogs (@movlogs) The Ferrari LaFerrari is one of the most iconic cars in the brand's history. It was the first model from the house of Maranello to have the HY-Kers hybrid system. It consisted of a 800 hp 6.3-litre V12 engine supported by a 120 kW electric motor resulting in a total output of 963 hp. All of it works with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car, when not hanging from a ceiling, is capable of going from 0-100 kmph in less than 3 seconds, while the top speed is limited to 350 kmph.

World's costliest Chandelier? Dubai YouTuber turns $5,00,000 Ferrari car into home decor
A Dubai-based YouTuber Mohamed Beiraghdary, goes by 'Movlogs' Instagram has recently shared that he bought a $500,000 ( ₹ 4.3 crore) Ferrari not to drive, but to hang from his ceiling as a chandelier. Mohamed Beiraghdary is an Iranian vlogger famous for showcasing his ultra-luxurious lifestyle in the UAE. With his new stunt, he has managed to get a 8.49 million views on Instagram, stating that it is his boldest home decor yet: a Ferrari suspended from the ceiling. 'My new $500,000 chandelier. This is my own invention that will be made,' he wrote in the caption. As per the details, the car appears to be a version of the LaFerrari, the Italian carmaker's first full hybrid sports car. However, Mohamed Beiraghdary clarified that it was not an actual Ferrari car but a jet car. This was designed to look like the luxury sports car but can be used as a jet ski on water, he added. In a series of shot, Mohamed Beiraghdary shows the car is attached to a custom pulley system and hoisted to the ceiling. Following this, he dangles the Ferrari above a sofa like the world's flashiest light fixture. MoVlogs casually strolls through his living room in the final shot and nonchalantly passes underneath the luxury car now hanging above him. One wrote, "La Ferrari in the living room is crazy." Another said, "Hope it doesn't fall during earthquakes." While a third commented, "Looks horrible, like a plastic toy hanging, should've got a crashed one from an auction, fixed and turned that into a chandelier." A fourth said, 'Im not hating but that looks like one of them water car boats and looks terribly cheap I would never… 😂😂 but to each is own.' A fifth person commented, 'WOOW brother this is amazing.'

Look! It's the Ferrari F80 at Goodwood!
Look! It's the Ferrari F80 at Goodwood! Ferrari rolls out its mega stars for a speciale weekend. Check out the pics here Skip 4 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 4 There's a lot going on underneath the challenging, complex and nuanced surfaces of the new Ferrari F80. LaFerrari's successor packs so much technology you'd need a degree to get the best out of it. A 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged to within an inch of its life, derived from a sports prototype that's handy at winning a really famous French endurance race. Three electric motors, supercharged by a tiny battery delivering four-wheel-drive and an additional 80bhp of forward momentum. Advertisement - Page continues below And lots and lots of forward momentum. This thing carries 1,183bhp. It's the most powerful Ferrari road car ever devised and unleashed upon the world. And yet, for all its tech, complexity, engineering depth and nuanced surfacing… we found it to be 'simply mesmerising'. And look! It's been busy mesmerising the crowds at Goodwood too, because Ferrari decided to bring its twin-turbo, electrified V6 plaything to last weekend's Festival of Speed. Fitting, because the F80 has much speed. As does the Daytona SP3 which – wouldn't you know it – also made a guest appearance. As did the new Amalfi. And 296 Speciale. And 12Cilindri. Heck, even the oldtimers were woken up and given a shot of espresso: an F50, a 312T,640 and even a screaming F2007. We were still trying to figure out what was going on underneath that F80, mind...

Ferrari is looking less like a carmaker and more like Hermes
Vigna's background as a theoretical physicist is apparent as he illustrates his thinking with diagrams sketched on pieces of paper like a professor at a blackboard. His contention is not just that Ferrari is a luxury-goods company, comparable in some ways with France's Hermes, the most valuable firm in that industry – but that it is a unique one. Loading The maker of high-end sports cars has succeeded in boosting sales while adhering to the maxim of Enzo Ferrari, who founded the firm in 1947, that it should sell 'one less car than the market demands'. Despite its expansion, Ferrari insists that it is as exclusive as ever, having grown fastest in places such as the Middle East where sales were once small. Recently, it has also raised prices at a far faster pace than in the past. As Stephen Reitman of Bernstein, a broker, points out, the price of new models used to be 3-5 per cent higher than those they superseded, whereas the new 12Cilindri is a whopping 30 per cent more than the 812 Superfast it replaces. That is also true for Ferrari's hugely profitable flagship cars, which arrive at irregular intervals, justified by improved technology learnt from racing. Deliveries of the latest, the F80, which costs €3.6 million, will begin soon, 12 years after the launch of the LaFerrari, which set owners back a mere €1 million or so. Total revenue from the F80 will exceed €2.3 billion, says Jefferies, a bank. To plug the gap between launches of these money spinners, Ferrari has started to make special limited-edition cars, such as the Daytona SP3 unveiled in 2021 (price: €2 million), which are high-margin styling exercises underpinned by existing models. Ferrari also now offers far more opportunities for personalisation, from custom paint-jobs to added carbon fibre and lavish interiors. These can add 20 per cent to the price of its cars, which Barclays, a bank, reckons will set back buyers an average of more than €500,000 next year. The firm is able to charge such eye-watering prices thanks to the devotion of its loyal fans. Some 80 per cent of customers are already owners. Many make a pilgrimage to the factory; some, overcome by emotion, are said to shed a tear. Judging the mood of its customers by keeping in close contact with about 180 dealerships worldwide allows Ferrari to draw its most avid collectors into an inner circle. Tariff-induced price rises have made no difference to orders from America. Sales of the F80 (of which Ferrari is making just 799) were three times oversubscribed. Getting chosen for one required buying several other Ferraris and acting as an ambassador, including turning up at car shows organised by the firm (and paying for the privilege). Even that was not a guarantee. Customers accept that Ferrari cannot serve everyone, explains Enrico Galliera, its marketing chief, dubbed 'Mr No' for frequently rejecting requests from would-be buyers. They may fear that any sign of disgruntlement will mean being bumped down future waiting lists. All this sounds similar to how ultra-luxe fashion brands such as Hermes operate. Yet, Vigna reckons Ferrari has even more going for it than the maker of pricey leather goods. His firm combines heritage with cutting-edge technology. It takes part in racing events such as the British Grand Prix on July 6, which are central to the brand's marketing. (Hermes organises a show-jumping tournament – classy, but less adrenaline-fuelled.) Chinese consumers, who have lately tightened their purse strings, account for just 8 per cent of Ferrari's sales, compared with as much as two-fifths at Hermes. Loading And Ferrari relies almost exclusively on the very rich, who are more insulated from downturns. A good chunk of revenue at Hermes comes from cheaper goods such as scarves, ties and perfume, much of which are sold to consumers who are wealthy, but not outrageously so. What could go wrong for the car industry's ritzy star? Some say that its price rises are already too aggressive. Further increases in production may eventually threaten the brand's perceived exclusivity. Revenue from personalisation has its limits. Ferrari also has one thing in common with more mundane car firms: the transition to battery power. The Elettrica, its first foray into that segment, will hit the road next year. The company recently doubled the size of its factory in Maranello, which will give it flexibility to make the electric vehicle without producing fewer of its current models. Yet other electric super-cars have been met with indifference. If Ferrari's fails to impress, the carmaker's pristine image could be damaged. Worryingly, on June 17, reports emerged that it would delay a second electric model by two years, to 2028. Vigna still has to solve his trickiest problem yet.
