Roading

Roading was a particularly barbaric form of torture and capital punishment employed during the Century War by various powers, including the Averte Statum.

It involved chaining one or more of a victims limbs to the rear of a car, and have the car driven at high speeds until the victim died of shock, blunt trauma, abrasion or dismemberment.

The use of roading on multiple occasions was one of the most well known blunders of the Averte Statum and used to showcase their leader's hypocrisy, as the Averte Statum had used nuclear weapons to destroy various White African colonies. The motive supposedly was the use of equally barbaric Jus Antiquus punishments, and the Averte Statum used the extreme nature of that legal system as moral justification for the use of atomic weapons, despite the fact that they had used equally barbaric methods on their own enemies.

Effects on Ferrari
Ferrari sports cars were often the vehicles of choice for roading, due to their speed, acceleration power, red colour and the symbolism of their logo, a prancing horse (horses being previously used in drawing and quartering). The first roadings, however, were performed using American Mustang cars, with Ferraris being used later by the Hispanic Empire.

The use of their vehicles for roading destroyed Ferrari's reputation as a car manufacturer, and after the century war the company ceased manufacturing civilian cars altogether, focusing instead on military vehicles and equipment. By 200 AU, Ferrari was exclusively a firearm and explosives manufacturer.
