Being able to transform a Toyota MR2 into a Ferrari look-alike was supposed to be a good thing (well, yes it is a crime against style!), but when you sale this fake Ferrari into a country like Italy where selling a Ferrari replica is against the law when you can get busted at any moment!
Police in Italy arrested a group of eight mechanics who transformed the Toyota MR2s and Pontiacs into Ferrari and sold them for £15,000 each.
Police are understood to have confiscated 14 fake 360 Modenas – seven sold and seven under construction – and eight people are under investigation.
Apparently those buying the cars knew they were fakes (how wouldn’t they?) so we can only hope that people rolling in rebodied MR2s over here will soon get busted for being so lame. The buyers were simply buying the cars to impress the neighbors.
A wonderful photograph from Pat Ernzen. The Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale is a fascinating track car, and this picture brings out the sheer beauty and elegance of the masterpiece from Pininfarina.
You don’t need millions to own a Ferrari, or at least this is what this guy thought when he transformed his NSX into a 360. Well he choose another signature for his car: 361 at the tail corresponds to the chassis number.
The car has th same weight as the Ferrari 360 and features many parts from the original Ferrari. The starting bid is $49.000.
When starting to work on a Ferrari, a car that usually has a great design, you start wondering what you can do so not to destroy the beauty of the car. And with the 360 Modena, a car designed by Pininfarina, this gets even hard. This is what Hephaiss tried to find an answer to when start working on the Modena. And after many testing the answer was: 360 Modena is better left as it is.
As a result they kept the stock body, but they refined in the JNH way. As a result, Hephaiss kept the (... >> read
There are cars that defy time, fabulous in all the locations. You can image 360 Challenge Stradale some 50 years ago in front of Enzo’s house, or you can image the same beauty near an F1 car of our times. Enzo once said that a car don’t have to be beautiful, if will win the race will become one. Well, the 360 CS is exactly different. It can loose all the races and make the winners to look like a looser.
In April 2006 on the E6 road in southern Sweden a police officer was chasing a speeding Ferrari 360 Modena down the wrong side of a motorway at 300 km/h. So what’s with that you will say? Nothing new, we hear before about a Ferrari speeding on the highway and a police officer trying to catch it. Well you are right, but I am sure you dind’t expect that the police officer was charged for that and will have to go in court pretty soon. Why? For careless driving.
The owner of the Ferrari, (...) >> read
The year couldn’t yet without another news about a crashed supercar. And this time, after a Porsche and a Lamborghini crashed we talk about a Ferrari 360 Spider crashed into a pole in Australia.
Maybe the driver was thinking what Santa will bring him this year (for sure he wouldn’t imagina a crashed car) and he lost in his thoughts and lost the control of his car.
One thing is for sure, Santa will have to bring him a new car (.. >> read
