Weird . . . or Wonderful?

The Ferrari Breadvan Hommage makes ready for rapid Ciabatta delivery

The original Ferrari 250 Breadvan ‘Breadvan’ is a crowd favourite at many historic racing events. Now, car designer Niels van Roij decided it was time to bring it up to the 21st century with his unique hommage based on the Ferrari 550 Maranello.

Despite the fact It's not my cup of tea, I like that things like this exist and people have the vision and skill to make them.

I really enjoy watching Kindig Customs, the quality of their work looks outstanding despite the fact I don't always entirely like the finished article.

This kind of fits into that catergory for me. Interesting.

Not a fan of the exterior. But that interior is 10/10.

 

I agree with Alan - this is not to my taste, but it appears well-executed and I am glad it exists.

 

After the teasing they've been doing for over a year now, the end product is pretty disappointing. Especially the front end?!

sideprofile is quite nice and I love the interior. Apart from the daft squashed carbon fibre...

 

As a designer I very much like custom car (or boat, or whatever) building and applaud any effort. It's a pity that in our country regulations are so tight that it is almost impossible to build any motorized vehicle that is to be allowed on public roads.

In this case, to my taste, the wheels spoil it. The tyres are too skinny, completely takes away the racing heritage of the design and makes it look like some Japanese, over-the-top, tuning effort. Not enough 550, not enough breadvan either. A set of semi-classic knock-offs with fatter tyres might transform the looks, though.

Something like this perhaps?

Wheels look good, but so too does the rest of the car. This would be a nice project to base on a damaged Maranello like Darius' old 550 for example, a lot more attractive than the breadvan design IMO.

 

Wonderfully weird!

 

Very nice, amazing craftsmanship.

 

Well said. But. For me it doesn’t show the elegance of a regular 550 neither the refinement (...as design) of the original Breadvan...

 

I like the back more than the front. Needs a different steering wheel, too.

 

I like it, would look better with smaller wheels.

 

This BV homage is pretty good however the grill leaves a lot to be desired.

 

Could not have said it any better
