    If those in charge feel that this thread needs to be moved, go ahead. However, I felt like posting this here for several reasons. First off, this corner of FChat has a lot of user traffic. Secondly, this car that I am inquiring about has supercar looks and what kind of looks like a V12 from a 550/575 in the rear. I was browsing flickr when I came across these two pictures taken inside a Ferrari shop in the UK...

    So...does anyone know the story behind this Ferrari-badged creation?

    No but I'm sure the words Fiero and fibreglass have something to do with it.

    I highly doubt a Fiero kit car would have a spot under a 288...

    How do you think all those replica Ferraris were born? A little dinner, a few drinks and before you know...

    It looks like a Noble M400 with some various F parts...

    Good call! The F parts; F50 side intakes, front bonnet hood extraction vents, rear tail lights/screen, front chin spoilers. F40 cabin air inlets, rear window and rear quarter top inlets. 512M headlights. 288 Evo rear slotted diffuser vents. 275 Nart Spider rear deck (above the tail lights). I do like the rear end aspect a lot. Not so enthusiastic about the stubby jelly bean shaped front end.

    I like it from the front hubs back. The nose belongs on a cool 1991 Japanese Kei Car.

    The many different things that there are in that car are not very well blended but it´s interesting and I´m liking it anyway.
