    I don't know if this is the right topic for this but, i'v came up across this Ferrari.
    I'v asked on a forum in holland and they said its a replica.
    The car looked great with everything on it, logo's in the headlights and stuff.

    This is the car:

    Now my question, what type should it be and is it a real one?

    Best regards,
    Floris

    PS,
    I'v spotted this car in Desenzano Italy.

    That's the special Ferrari-edition Corvette.

    This is a Corvette-based Daytona Spyder replica.

    If you spot any real Ferraris, please note the serial numbers. :)

    Curious. Do you compile current owners with their serial #s as a hobby? Do you want mine?

    On most newer cars, the VIN can be found on the steering column just behind the steering wheel, or at the base of the windshield on the driver's side of the car.

    An emphatic yes to both questions.

    I think about the legal grief Ferrari SpA gave the executives of "Miami Vice" for having a replica on the set. Italy does not play nice regarding replicas. Surely, having one of these in Italy would not be wise.

    Looks like a Photoshop of the mating of a 288 and a 458.

    While following the Mille Miglia I spotted that replica too!

    At a roundabout I briefly lost contact to the Mille cars I was following but spotted a Bugatti a little further up the road so decided to follow that car. As I got nearer it turned out to be a replica, which lead me to a parking lot with a 250 GTO replica! (Datsun based). I made a U-turn as quickle as I could! :D
    Only to spot that same Daytona replica a bit later...it was like going in another dimension. ;)

    Haha, sounds like a scene from a horror movie. Did the women all look a bit like Pamela Anderson from a distance, then turning out to be men? Then as you rush away you crash into a tree, but it's fine cause it's made of rubber?

    i guess the name "virtualtuning" gives it away!

    the body of a 288 GTO with many photoshop modifications.

    Lets hope, that ugly thing does not exist in real life!

    i think it is a photoshop of the 288 GTO Chassis 55643 because of the red rims and the Michelin racing tires with yellow script!

    More of a case of limited skills in photoshop.
