Fancy owning a Ferrari? Can't afford one? Well, fret not. You can now own a Ferrari powered by Toyota.
Yes, it's a replica. No, it's not available from Toyota.
You have to get it from a custom builder who would take a Toyota MR2, cut it up, bend it in places, bang in a few parts, weld this, weld that and - voila! - one Ferrari replica just for you.
It's not cheap. Upon close inspection, people would know it's not the real deal.
So, what? It's certainly cool!
Recently, Bloomberg gave coverage to a custom builder somewhere in Thailand. For several thousand USDs, you can get yourself a Porsche 911 replica or even a Lamborghini Diablo replica.
Check out YouTube for some of the amazing replicas that car enthusiasts have built, like the Ferrari 360 built from a Peugeot 406 Coupe. Amazing! (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgGcA5-OnOo&NR=1)
I want one!
This reminds me of the Peugeot 206 advert about some Indian guy transforming his Ambassador into a Peugeot 206 just for the love of the car. (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7eOVpBCtPo)
Hmm... I wonder if I can shape my Focus into an Audi TT :D
