A Dubai businessman has made headlines around the world for his newest over-the-top home accessory, a Ferrari suspended from his ceiling, which he affectionately refers to as his ‘new chandelier’. The bizarre trick went viral on social media sites, with users criticizing and marveling at the quirky display.
The recently viral video was posted on Instagram by an account called Movlogs. “My new chandelier. This is my own invention with @edrive.jetcar (1 of 10) that will be made,” the video reads, featuring the expensive car being carefully carried into the home and subsequently hoisted and hung from the ceiling.
Take a look:
The strange sight has garnered huge activity on the internet with over 25 million views, over 9 lakh likes, and over 4,000 comments. While most appreciated the ingenuity, others questioned its genuineness and applicability.
Social Media Reactions
Some fans were impressed with the sight. “Great add to the house,” one poster said, enjoying the quirky setup. Others, however, weren’t so impressed. “I’m not being a hater, but that looks like one of them water car boats and is just really cheap-looking. I would never… but to each their own,” another poster said. One queried simply, “3D model?” another made a joke, saying, “Hope it doesn’t collapse during earthquakes.”
A number of commenters also stood in awe of the power of the team that had lifted the car, with one commenting, “3500 lbs ÷ 10 people = 350 lbs per person… some strong dudes right there.”
In spite of the mixed response, the comments section is still abuzz with queries, interest, and congratulatory remarks, indicating that this Ferrari chandelier has been the latest social media darling.
