| Indian Toyota Corolla-Based Ferrari F430 Replica is Vanilla Gelato with Curry on the Side Posted: 24 Mar 2011 04:53 PM PDT
Ferrari builds brilliant cars, but they do have one significant drawback: They're very pricey, both to buy and maintain (That second item should serve as a warning to anyone lusting after a clean 308 GT4 or Mondial being advertised for $25k.). No surprise, then, that the Ferrari replica business has been going strong since we were knee-high to an amoeba, if not longer.
Usually, a "Fauxrrari" is underpinned by a donor car that bears at least a slight conceptual resemblance to the model it's attempting to ape. Some examples would be an F40 pretender based on a Pontiac Fiero, or a Daytona Spider built on Corvette bones; in both instances, those cars share the drvetrain layout of the Fezza they seek to mimic. Kit-makers and fabricators of these imitations deserve credit for keeping at least one aspect of their creations true to the reale McCoy.
