Proportions look way off. I have seen amazingly accurate repros of Porsche 904s for instance or even Bugatti T35s but this seems to be inaccurate.

To be fair I wouldn't really care about how authentic it is or isn't.
I just like the shape.
Maybe I don't get kit cars ?

This a body panel pack for a BMW z3. Remove the OEM panels, bond on the fibreglass ones and paint.

Benefit is no IVA just dvla inspection as far as I know.

Therefore not strictly a kit car but a body kit, but if you like it, go for it and enjoy.

Also I suggest you do not look at the thread on the automirage "proper" kit with similar styling, it may cost you a lot of cash compared.

For me, I would not put any Ferrari badges on it and treat it as a kit in its own right. Also if you do make it look like a Ferrari do not take it to Europe as certain countries have strict counterfeiting laws and there are reports of such cars being seized and crushed.

I have seen one of those in the flesh . I do not know how accurate a copy it is but it is a good looking well proportioned car but would take a lot of finishing . I would like one .

On the contrary, it seems pretty well proportioned to me.

The panel joints around the nose look like they'll be tricky to hide and as ever choosing the right wheels will be critical.

It's not my cup of tea, but could make a good looking car.
