I'm not the biggest fan of Ferarri, but that has convinced me that the death penalty should be reinstated.

I would like to say that I'm a "stance" guy, love a bit of excessive lowering and silly pokey-outy wheels, and I love a modified Ferrari, and I think this thing looks wk. Box ticking exercise in show off/shock factor, doesn't actually look aesthetically pleasing at all, the wheels are too high in the arches (even though they've been raised).

Maybe you have to be an aficionado, but to me that looks like any other pile of stanced wk. confused

Ferrari or not, whenever I see a car that's been mutilated like that I always think "poor car".

Slightly OT, but does having the lower part of the wheel stuck out further than the body work make these cars illegal in the UK?

No, so long as arch covers tyre tread negative camber is ok in my experience. That said, the Police are more likely to stop you and try and prosecute that they were.

And reading the article it appears the car doesn't even work properly. Waste of time, money and (especially) car.

I'm assuming that isn't an actual rallycar but still one too many lamp pods.

Unfortunate that someone stole the grille while the owner was taking the photos.

Anyone fancy a lovely Maserati 4200 messed around with to (supposedly!) resemble an Alfa 8C?






I actually don't mind the looks of the back - but why?!

What a bizarre thing to do... At least the workmanship looks good, it's just the design that's odd, the shapes at the front don't blend together at all.

Stuff like this based on an old Jap coupe makes some kind of sense to me. Based on an already interesting, exotic ish and £15k+ vehicle? Odd.
