Still probably just a blown cooling hose.
I did a trackday at Castle Combe in my Celica GT 4 for one of the Rally Day events a very hot day and had a hose split chucking coolant all over the nearside front wheel spun me of track big time.
Steam everywhere the Marshall's wanted to pull my fire extinguisher as they thought it was an engine fire.
Got a hose from the Motorsport shop there and drove it home.
It's on YouTube somewhere :)

He was probably thinking I should dye my trousers in that.

Have you noticed they wrapped/painted the Ferrari but the door shuts are still red?

just noticed that, if it's a wrap would door shuts normally be done as well and surprised it's not some blingy wrap for those fellas

So let me get this straight. You splash all that money for a Lamborghini and it craps out after some spirited throttle work?
I'll not be in a queue to buy one then

In the 90s the owner of the garage I used paid over the odds to jump the queue on Ferrari 355

It got delivered on a truck to the garage , he took the apprentice out in it , came back 20 minutes later ,as they got out he noticed a drip of coolant followed by a gush as the pipe fell off

They hadn't tightened the pipe clip from the factory

That's an Italian thing :)
Having done PDI checks on a few new cars you would be surprised what you find.
Difference between manufacturers is that Maserati used to give us several hours and Ford 1 hour and expected to do it quicker.
