    With the exception of the ugly wheels, that is one of the closet replicas I've ever seen... however, it is still a REPLICA. The amount of money they spent making it looks that close to the real thing I'm sure they could have just found a real one somewhere. I just can't understand how someone could drive around in a replica of anything and not feel like an idiot...

    From this amount of cash i would rather buy a Mondial ...

    But in my opinion it's very close to a real 360 too!
    Anybody know the song in the video?

    another giant waste of otherwise good skills.

    we already have a thriving kitcar thread for losers.

    And has a rear seat, room for 5! One builder put some fake engine cover over the rear seat and luggage room.
    Also embarrassing if your front wheels are spinning on a wet road.

    An amazing job. I don't see anything wrong with the kit maker finding a market and building a product to fill it. Capitalism at work. I don't see anything wrong with a Peugeot owner re-styling his car, putting money and effort into it. Looks like an amazing job. I don't see anything wrong with driving a replica, as long as you're not prfiting from the deception.

    I DO see something wrong with stealing an artist's work. Ferrari paid Pinninfarina for the design, for the kit maker to steal the design is not right, and to use the design for profit without permission is not right. And yes, I do see the conflict between the above.

    This replica shows how fat Ferraris have grown.

    i think now the 360 owners will know how the 308 owners feel when asked, "is it a kit?"

    Great skills in making a model but a waste of time and money as far as a car is concerned. Someone who can make a car that close to another should come up with their own design and build that. It would be much more impressive if it wasn't a copy.

    I totally agree with you all:
    1) Its a great fake
    2) Why would you?

    The rear side windows are the only giveaway from the video. The wheels are personal taste, but they're not the give away.

    Just imagine the people that gather around the car when you get in it and pull away with the screaming sound of a buzzy 4 cylinder engine...
