[cologne2792]

Not sure what to make of this ? Makes a change from an MR2 and at least Pininfarina is involved somewhere along the line...

Only needs a Respray, the suspension sorted and the window bonded in, wow what a bargain for £10k but remember folks it's much better than an MR2 (Ferrari) !

Doesn't look right from the back - the wheels look as if they're to far out.

Here's one of the 'offensive' MR2 versions:

At least the engine's in the right place ! Though it makes you wonder why anyone would go to such trouble to make a really good, convincing replica but base it on s T-Top ?

"THE PEUGEOT HAS THE EXACT SAME WHEEL BASE AS THE FERRARI AS IT WAS DESIGNED BY PININFARINA AS IS THE FERRARI"

Because, of course, Pininfarina _always_ and _only_ design cars with the exact same wheelbase...

FFS.

Still, at least it is a v6. The last one that was on fleaBay was an HDi.

The kit itself... http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/360/extras.html

Rubbish new build house.

I'm out.

[cologne2792]

I like the idea and a 4 seater version is useful but the 406 coupe is a rather gorgeous car in it's own right and it does seem a pity to desecrate one in the name of plastic.

To be fair that doesn't look too bad.

Ridiculous car and an advert written by a complete and utter moron.

[OwenK]

I'd have it. If I had 10k to spend on such a car...
It's not any less pretty an object because it's not genuine. I appreciate I'm more visual than most PHers though.

THIS CAR FOOLS EVERYBODY

...except those blessed with the gift of eyesight.

[Strawman]

Someone I know thought about building a 406/Ferrari about 5 years ago, not sure which company supplied the bodykit, but they abandoned the idea when they saw how much of the body had to be cut away, he wondered how safe they would be in a crash.

[Jimmy No Hands]

Private plate valued at 2k.

What a delusional chap.

[RobM77]

I like the way half the pics are of it on a recovery truck

This.

And don't travel to Italy in it....

[PowerslideSWE]

Front wheel drive aswell I take it? WHY would anyone ever build one of those?

[surveyor]

"PLEASE NO MORE RIDICULOUS OFFERS A REAL ONE OF THESE COSTS 40K AN MINE LOOKS PRETY MUCH IDENTICAL SO IF YOU HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF OWNING A FERRARI BUT CANT AFFORD ONE AS IM SURE ALOT OF US CANT THEN THIS IS DEFINITELY THE NEXT BEST THING COME AN HAVE A LOOK"

Really? Because this is comparable to owning the real thing!

[Cliftonite]

ANY GENUINE FERRARI PARTS WILL FIT THIS CAR ITS THAT EXACT!

The width of the rear tyres...
