    FAKE FERRARI WOW SO CLOSE TO THE REAL THING. IN KNOW KITS IN THE 80S WERE BEING BUILT WITH CORVETTE AND PONTIAC FIERO BODY KITS. BUT THE FERRARI LAWYERS WENT AFTER THE KIT CAR COMPANY. SEEMS TO ME FERRARI LEGAL TEAM SHOULD STOP THEM AS WELL. ITS SURE MAKES AN FERRARI OWNERS HAIR RISE.

    Rather embarrasingly, this is quite common in the UK with Toyota MR2's being converted.

    Cosmetically there are some rather good ones, but all the effort has to go down the toilet when you throw the ignition and ..... its an I4 toyota lump ....

    Ferrari and Lamborghini have cracked down on replicas in any sort, 1:1 to 1:100.

    And if you have a look on ebay, they rarely completely finished.

    I once saw a diablo VT replica which looks exactly like the original even the interior was nearly perfect if not perfect. Funny part was the car was being sold for 120k USD, why not just buy a real one for the same price.

    Saw a yellow 355 replica in HK (central) once...i'm guessing its made from a mr2 since I don't think there are any fieros in hk? Eitherway, surprised to see one in HK, never knew they were too into the replica scene.
