Lack of parking space: Got the Ferrari lifted onto the balcony

With no garage spaces available, an Austrian car owner had his Ferrari hoisted onto the ground floor balcony.

However, this was not a long-term solution.

In Vienna, an unusual parking case has caused a stir after 28-year-old business owner Amar Dezic decided to park his Ferrari on his balcony.

The reason was a lack of garage space in the district of Floridsdorf, where he has his private residence.

Dezic, who runs an auto parts and tuning business, owns a number of luxury cars.

His pride and joy is a Ferrari with 830 hybrid horsepower, worth around DKK 2 million plus Danish taxes and VAT.

To protect the car from the winter weather, he wanted to put it in a safe place, and the choice fell on his own balcony on the ground floor.

Inspiration from Dubai

According to Dezic, he was inspired by parking solutions in Dubai and similar places, where cars in certain luxury apartments can be lifted directly into the residence via special car lifts.

Since he didn’t have that option, he instead had the car lifted with a crane via a car transport company.

– I wanted to build a glass case with lighting around the car – like an exhibition, he told the German newspaper BILD.

According to him, it cost him a low four-figure sum in euros, but he thought it was worth it.

The authorities put a stop to the project

But the balcony parking was quickly stopped by the local authorities.

According to the media heute.at, the Austrian building authorities intervened just a week after the car was placed on the balcony.

The authorities referred to the fire protection regulations and ordered Dezic to remove the car as soon as possible.

– It’s only here that there’s a problem. Nowhere else would react like this, he tells BILD.

The Ferrari was therefore removed from the balcony by crane again and will now be stored in one of the company’s halls over the winter.

According to Dezic, however, this is unlikely to be the last time he tries a different solution.
