I like the seats, I don't mind the interior (huge improvement over the cougar), just a shame it really doesnt look like it on the outside. These sort of reps I really can't stand. Top effort though

[rix]

Oh my! the first 458 'rep' I have witnessed. Its a shocker!

£35K?


What a load of old st!

[jimbop1]

I don't like them but it's one of the better replicas I have seen.

Or 3.5 Dacia Dusters hmmmm

What do these people do when someone asks them to rev the engine believing it to be real?

[plasticpig]

Never understood the pricing on this sort of thing. What is the owner thinking? I can buy a real Ferrari for £35k; OK it's not a 458 but it is a real Ferrari and not a knock off.

The owner is thinking "it cost me £25k and lots of my time to build, so it must be worth £35k". Delusional, but I'm pretty sure that's the logic.

Indeed. £35k would get a nice V8 Vantage and lots of other high end cars.

Anyone know how much this sort of thing actually changes hands for?

Certainly one of the better Ferrari replicas I've seen - from some angles it'd fool me, from others it's a million miles off. But I can't understand why you'd spend £35K on this when you could have a genuine performance car with a lot of prestige. Astons, Porsche's, BMW's and probably even some real Ferrari's.

He's got to be a Pistonheader to have a car like that

I dont think I could own that knowing every day that it wasnt a Ferrari. Must be for insecure people only?

[rix]

I'm really surprised at people saying its one of the better replicas!! It's soo wrong!

I think you'd have to insecure to spend £35,000 on a Ford Cougar with a body kit

[JohneeBoy]

I always say that having a replica supercar is like having an attractive transgender wife.

If I win the Euro Lottery I would buy one of these and make my friends drive round in it
