A 458 Race Car Makes for a Great Alarm Clock

Normal alarm clocks are all well and good for getting you up in the morning, but don't you wish there were a little more excitement in your wake-up call? How about an actual Ferrari 458 race car?

One driver got a much louder awakening than he was expecting after his team decided to roll up a 458 GT3 car and rev it out as he was sleeping on a couch. The resulting roar (and spitting flames) jolted the driver awake, making for a hilariously panicked scene.

The prank left the driver understandably shook, but it seems the rest of his crew got a real kick out of it - and if we're being honest, so did we. Though it may seem nice to have an uncorked racing engine as an alarm clock, we probably wouldn't want to deal with the hearing loss every morning.

Watch for yourself to see how the incident unfolded.
