Crappy Replicas thread

Must... resist the urge... to post... the NSX F50... and risk... permanent ban...

 

Shell looks great but imo will never replace the real thing

 

I had this one which I didn't think was too bad:

LOL, I was kidding.

 

I think the angle of the rear wing is slightly off. But it may just be me...

 

DYGTS.....Eff it.

Do they call that a Testicle?

This is a disgrace!

the 3000GT is basically a poor mans exotic car especially if you get a VR4 convertible. Either way even if its just an SL you can do some great things with it but turning it into a Ferrari shouldn't be one of them.

 

Worst part is, it's not even supposed to be a "Ferrari" look-a-like, it's just got a bunch of odd aftermarket parts on it, along with a horsey!

Shiny Side Up!

I want to punch this guy in the face. He has successfully ruined one of my 3 favorite cars. Such a shame.

 

Im officially blind.... hahaha

 

they see me rollin they hatin,,



They catch me riden Dirty....LOL....

 

I believe that is the same car that was in post #3062. I remember seeing the photos of the
car while it was still under construction. He certainly put a lot of work into it, but it will
never be an F40. However, I must give him credit for producing the most similar replica and
restraining from putting Ferrari and Pininfarina badges on it.

 

That's very interesting. I've seen worse.

 

Agree, remarkable work...and restraint.

 

+1.

He should at least have the decency to throw-in the original parts he is trying to pimp separately: http://www.ebay.com/sch/herotuncay75/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686

Oh well, hopefully he'll lose his a$$ on it and learn from his mistakes.

 

yes its the NZ car I mentioned in my post (3062) but the link to the photos I put up is not the NZ car, but one built in the UK from an original f40 frame and original repaired panels which runs a 355 engine.

The NZ car runs a toyota motor and contains no original f40 components.

A chap in the UK is building a f40 rep based originally on 308 bodywork but using a lotus esprit frame

+1, although he does call himself "F40 Motorsports," with the F40 logo similar enough that a copyright lawyer could probably make a good case if he wanted to.

This is a respectable replica in that it's not trying to pass itself off as an original Ferrari. A lot of work went into it, and it is a powerful high performance car in its own right. It's also damn near as unaffordable as a real F40.

 

Wow!! That one is pretty bad! Kinda funny about the front emblems.........Take note of the "reversed" prancing horse for the front grille!

I love the kid sitting on it.

These are some of the best worst I can recall.

 

Some high hopes

Seriously?

 

They throwing in the flatbed at that price?

 

That Murcielago thing is hideous.

10 000 quid (roughly 12k euro), compared to a likely negotiable 19k euro for that 240Z GTO here: http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/276197316.htm?ca=22_s
(And I'm not on the market for a replica, thank God, I was looking at 240Z's)
