To open a Ferrari door, press the protrusion on the lower side of the door and pull upward. Ferrari is an Italian automobile manufacturer founded by Enzo Ferrari, headquartered in Maranello, Italy. It primarily produces Formula One race cars, sports cars, and high-performance supercars. Some Ferrari models were designed by the founder, Enzo Ferrari. The LaFerrari is a flagship supercar introduced by Ferrari to replace the Enzo Ferrari model. It features a hybrid system called HY-KERS, combining a 6.3-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine producing 800 horsepower with an electric motor delivering 120 kW, resulting in a combined output of 963 horsepower.

I've been driving Ferraris for several years, and opening the doors is actually quite intuitive. First, locate the hidden door handle on the exterior edge—it's usually flat or slightly recessed. Don’t pull too hard; a gentle tug will unlock it. For scissor-door models like my 488, the door automatically lifts vertically, a process that takes a few seconds—be patient and avoid forceful pushing. For regular doors like on the Roma, simply push it open manually after unlocking. When parking, choose an open space to avoid overhead obstacles that might hit the door. I make sure to keep the door hinges lubricated to prevent sticking. New users will get the hang of it after a few tries—don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it seems.

My first encounter with a Ferrari, I tried the opening method of the California. The door handle is on the outside, exquisitely designed—just pull it to unlock. Not all models feature scissor doors; this one has standard horizontal-opening doors, so simply push to open. Operate it gently to avoid damaging the mechanism with excessive force. I recommend beginners practice with the car stationary first to get a feel for the pulling action before driving, ensuring a smoother experience on the road. Ferrari doors are lightweight and operate smoothly, offering a bit more ceremony than ordinary cars. Make sure to park with ample space and always check for pedestrians around you when opening.

The opening mechanism is straightforward: the exterior handle pulls to release the lock. Depending on the model, scissor doors use a hydraulic system to lift up, while regular doors are manually pushed open. Avoid rough movements to prevent damage to the delicate mechanism. When parking, ensure there's enough overhead space, and lubricate the hinges to maintain smooth operation.

When operating a Ferrari door, I prefer a gentle approach. Lightly pull the exterior handle to unlock, and when opening, push slowly or watch the scissor door glide upwards. On rainy days, ensure a firm grip on the slippery handle. Always park on a level surface, leaving enough angle to prevent collisions. Regularly inspect the door's pivot points to prevent malfunctions. Before opening, check the mirrors for pedestrian safety. Developing these habits ensures peace of mind.
