There are a couple of things in the automotive world that are considered taboo. Although you can see plenty of crazy ideas out there, this one is on a whole other level. If you are a Ferrari fan, a purist, or have a faint heart, switch the channel now. In case you are curious as well as one of the aforementioned, do so at your own risk.

What you will witness is a rather radical time-attack conversion of a Ferrari 308. Yes, the elegant 1970s Italian roadster, normally used by old rich people as a cruiser, will see a ton of honing once it is done. A time attack build normally involve engine, drivetrain, and chassis enhancements, as well as crazy aero and weight shaving. Reliability is also key and what better way to get it than to install a Honda K24 engine?

Some would say this is blasphemy and they’ll probably be right. At the same time, you cannot argue with the sheer punishment a K24 can withstand. Whilst the original Ferrari unit is much older and quite a bit more pretentious, the Honda can take pretty much anything you throw at it and ask for more while delivering great performance.

Remember the Honda NSX? When it came out, it showed everyone that you can get Ferrari-levels of performance (if not greater) while having a reliable car. Although we do not condemn the actions in the video, we see the logic behind them and we are curious about the results.
