It begins with the Ferrari driver turning onto a long sliproad that eventually joins a dual carriageway.
The person filming focuses in on the speedo as it climbs at an alarming rate next to an icon that indicates a 70mph speed limit.
The car is a Ferrari SF90 Spider, an open-top supercar that costs £400,000 and can do 211mph.

As the driver floors the throttle, you can hear the Ferrari struggling to put down its power on the damp sliproad.
However, once up to enough speed, the acceleration is staggering and due to the wind roar from the roof being down the passenger can only just about be heard saying: “f***ing hell!”
Once onto the dual carriageway, the speed is already beyond 120mph and the final speed you see in the video is 191mph.
However, as the video stops, the Ferrari’s speed is clearly still rising very quickly.
The rate at which the Ferrari passes another car travelling in the slow lane is horrifying.

People were disgusted at the driver’s actions in the comments under the video on Twitter.
One simply said “maniac” while another said to Derbyshire Police’s Twitter account: “Shouldn’t take long to identify this car.”
Another said: “This is why I don’t ride in the country anymore.
“I can wear all the armour I want, that thing hits me I’m dead instantly.”
Another Tweeter replied: “And in bits too. Disgusting. Hope the driver is nailed.”
