I will be honest- im bored.

Can anyone find anything worse than this, in the general style of a Ferrari.

(whilst at the same time, not pouring derision on a replica- if thats your thing)

Over to you......

Indeed, its not 'a looker'

Was hoping to have some more crap posted though to annoy a mate who is about to buy a replica 360 (i think) for over 20k.
I suggested buying a real one (308?) for the same cash, but to no avail.

If you are any sort of friend you will lock him in a room until he changes his mind! £20k can buy some awesome cars...Maserati 3200, M3, M5, NSX, probably not a million miles from a 348 and loads more that will be better than a replica Fezza.

As a disclaimer I do not condone any sort of illegal activity such as kidnapping and holding somebody against their will!! smile

A replica 360.....?!

Hmmmm.

Aren't they based on these?

So, a £1k car with a bodykit for £20k? Your mate is a total plank, a complete idiot, a 1st order numpty.

If he had more than one brain cell he'd be better to buy a donor car and kit and pay someone to build it for him. Still would cost less and he could replace the worn mechanicals and upgrade where necessary.

I think they're generally MR2 based. But the 406 coupe was styled by Pininfarina who, I think, designed Fezza's too - so the 406 coupe is based on a Ferrari, rather than a Ferrari being based on a 406 Coupe!!

And the 406 has rear seats....

Until you look at the rear 1/3 of the car from a Front/side or side profile angle. The Seats are also LOL. At least (judging by the pics) its got a real Ferrari Engine, in the right place getmecoat

The 355 is based on the MR2.
You can get MR2 360 reps (using the Mk3 as the base car) but there nowhere near as good as those using the Pug 406.

Not worse than the op's example, but...



As a fan, & a member of some MR2 clubs, I have seen first hand many replica's. There are very few that look good & have an attention to detail that might fool some people, but most are aweful.
Never mind besmirching the Ferrari name, they do terrible harm to the MR2 name as well, which is a very pretty capable car in its own right.
