I know what you are thinking. This looks too good to be true. A Ferrari/Maserati TwinTurbo V6 and a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16V body…but first you need to do some assembly. And when I say some…I mean all of it. Because these are two entirely different vehicles — one is a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16V offered […]
I’ve seen quite a few bad Ferrari kit cars in my time, more bad than good…but today’s Camaro based Ferrarish thing is striking. In a good way. It is obviously NOT a Ferrari to most eyes, but it doesn’t have the goofy overhang of a Fiero or the putt-putt exhaust of something Volkswagen based. Find […]
In case you’ve been living on a cave on the moon (and Elon hasn’t given you free Moonlink internet) and don’t know — Ferrari returned to the 24 Hours of LeMans last weekend for the first time in 50 years and took the overall win with a 499P Hypercar. It was one of the those […]
I was ready to hate this next car when it came through with a description as a “Corvette with a Testarossa body kit”…but I’m not so sure. The overall effect of the C4 front end with a Ferarrish rear isn’t as stomach turning as one would expect. I dare say that I sorta like it. […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who calls it a “good” Ferrari replica Fiero. It is amazing that none of these companies ever developed a interior upgrade. Given the attention to Fauxrarri styling on the outside, it is a serious bummer when you open the door and look at all of that […]
This next feature is for the corpse of a bent Ferrari 360 chassis and the only question is what do you put into it for an engine? Do you shove a supercharged Buick 3800 V6 powering the front wheels, or a Pontiac Fiero Iron Duke-4 in the middle. Or both? Find this 2000 Ferrari 360 […]
When you were a kid, Halloween was great for two things — first you got to dress up as something special, and second you got to eat a bunch of candy. As we become adults both of those things get less fun, but there is no reason you shouldn’t want a car that is dressed […]
If you haven’t been to Hawaii, you might not understand this next car. The Islands are a beautiful place to visit, but not the best place for nice cars. The roads are pretty bad, weather is severe, and the salty ocean air is corrosive, so you wouldn’t want to drive a Ferrari. But you might […]
If you are going to drive a kit car that looks like a multi-million dollar car, it had better at least make some noise like the real thing. This next kit might look like a Ferrari on the outside, but it has stock Datsun mechanicals and won’t make the right noises…so you need to start […]
I’ve been pretty brutal on kit cars that look like they are fast/fun, but have the performance figures of a Prius (see Volkswagen powered kit cars et al). However, it isn’t the ACTUAL zero-to-60 performance that is important, but the experience. You want that car that makes you feel like a kid again, and that […]
