Ferrari F430 Replica Built Out of a Toyota Celica

The Bianco-Fuji-colored (sic…) Maranello-wannabe is built around the seventh and last generation of Toyota's Celica sports coupe series.

The seller states that the donor model is a Celica GT from the year 2000, meaning it is powered by a 1.8-liter four-banger with 140hp (142PS).

The car is claimed to have a clean title with the odometer reading 179,000 kilometers (111,000 miles). Anyone who wishes to ride around in it, will have to churn out CA$36,000 or about US$35,000 on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Repl...ars_Trucks&hash=item4603e529bf#ht_1234wt_1164).

I believe we had a thread about this in GD. Maybe we should merge them here.

Looks really cool, would be the slowest Ferrari known to man. I guess it would set in if you had to drive it everyday.

I like the exterior look but if you're going to change the exterior...change the interior too.

I wouldn't do it, nor would I drop the cash on it, but that's fucking awesome.

I agree. Sadly, they couldn't do a better job with the interior. :eatpop:

 

[The__J__Factor]

Yep they didnt even do the center tacho mod lol

would be the slowest Ferrari known to man

Not really, the US market Ferrari Mondial Cabriolet 3.0 is even slower at a reported 180hp and 9.4 second 0-60 dash. A bit of history for you.

pretty clean for a Replica. I would be willing to bet most people would not realize they were looking at a Replica from a casual glance.

I don't understand why he hasn't lowered it and spaced out the wheels? Why not finish off what looks like a really good replica. No ferrari sits that high and has sunken wheels surely

except for when he starts it and it sounds like the 140 hp economy car that it is...The minute that thing left a light it'd be a red flag for BS

At least it wont spontaneously burst into flames...

Nice....but better add some power under that hood...lol:chuckles:
