A fake Ferrari 296 SC launch meets German objections
Mat Armstrong's rebuilt 296 was meant to pose as Ferrari's not-yet-released special edition, and the week's only upload passed four million views in two days.

EUROPE BANNED MY FERRARI I REBUILT
"EUROPE BANNED MY FERRARI I REBUILT" is the one new video on Mat Armstrong MK2, the second channel of the British car rebuilder, and it has done more than enough on its own. The plan, as the description tells it, was a bit of fun after weeks of travel and a first yacht: take the Ferrari 296 he rebuilt and pass it off as the upcoming 296 SC before Ferrari gets there. Germany, the description adds, did not like the idea.
The video opened at a pace that dwarfs what the whole channel usually draws in a day, and two days in it is still pulling well over a million views daily. Behind it, the Bugatti saga keeps ticking: a Veyron waiting on parts Bugatti will not sell, and a wrecked Chiron shown to its owner, both past eight million views or close to it and now moving at a far gentler clip.
Subscribers are arriving at a healthy rate for a channel of this size. Among car channels he sits fourth by subscribers, while Forrest's Auto Reviews is having the busiest week of the group and Throttle House is running a little above its usual pace.
