You have reason coombsie66, me also I saw it in Mischeif 3000 vid, the front bumber of a 360 Modena and F50 are truly in aluminum.

It's therefore possible that the front bumper of the 550 is equally made by the same material.

looks like the driver was going at a relatively slow speed, and just didnt see the turn (he was prolly getting head ) and just slid onto the roof, which explains the scrapes. the scrapes also tell us that the curb actually helped to keep him suspended which the right wheel was unsupported. thats probably y u dont see much damage to the front end. thats just my interpretation, i could be wrong.

PS to get those yellow lines, i just lined up the tires , the scrape lines on the curb, and the dents in the roof.

No. No. You all have it wrong. This guy obviously bought the extra option of the hover packs (costs $50,000 extra). Then he was merely hovering along and then he ran out of hover boosts and that is where he landed. He was also traveling at a very slow speed when this happened and at a very low altitude (about 3ft) because he knew he was about to run out of hover boost. The fall from 3ft created the little dents where the rear wheels are sitting right now, but was not enough to break the roof. There now that I have shown all of you your errors, I am glad to be of service

It has just jumped straight up there. I was amazed buy the braking distance, but it isn't that unbelievable.

My version: The front bumper hit the curb first. The front was thrown up in the air, but when the left front wheel hit the curb the car started rotating (rising the left side, lowering the right). Then that poor thing landed on the edge of the roof with the rear right wheel still off the roof, causing the bump on the edge of the roof. That would slow the car down considerably.

I know the explanation isn't water tight, but it isn't very bad either...
