On a related point (to the thread title) I was looking at a 612 Scaglietti the other day and thinking how many styling cues were similar between the two cars (No, I'm not pretending I have a "secret ferrari" just noting some similarities in appearance). Overall shape, front lights, rear lights, etc.....

I absolutely love the 612 - I know not everyone does, but I think they're a fantastic-looking car. Would have one at the drop of a hat if they were affordable!

That ferrari coupe looks dreadful!

But I do agree with you Cappo, the 612 seems to resemble the coupe in some ways. It has definaly grown on me though, didn't like it much when it came out. It's not as in your face as most other Ferrari's, but I suspect it will age very well. Much like the 456.

That fiat farrari is a mess it looks like a "Fisher-Price" My First Farrari"

The only decent thing i've seen was the mr2 kit to make it look like a farrari. MR2 in Wolves Clothing

It's still a little like padding your underwear with socks...

Why have they glued pieces of exhaust pipe to the rear lights?

And the rest? Dear lord...

I said that ages ago when the 612 had just been released but no-one seemed to agree with me \:\( . I had one come up beside me in Edinburgh the other day,gorgeous car and looks like what I imagine would be a very nice evolution of our Coupé if it were still in production \:# .

There's more pics by thumbnail here.

Not to my taste. Looks far to square at the back, and weird at the front. And the Coupe, although a gorgeous looking car, is not a Ferrari!

I mean seriously, at what stage did the guy stop, take a step back and thought - yep I've made a ferrari and it looks great.

Its hideous from every single angle \:\( Well actually I haven't seen the underneath of the car so thats unfair.

That is unfair, as the windscreen wipers are quite nice too.

That car has offended my eyes. I thought just replacing the Fiat badges with Ferrari ones were bad enough, but that takes the p*** \:s

612 is to heavy, Ferrari seem intent on trying to make barges for rockstars, its sad considering the amount of great, lightweight Ferraris they have made that they are now resorting to AMG tactics to make fast cars.

That is just bloody awful.
Saying that, I remember seeing a Testerosa (spelling?) a few months back and boy, did it look dated and awful, really kit-car looking and boxy (it was not a kit car, as I know it to be a genuine ferrari). \:\(

That is pure tat that is!

If I ever meet the guy that raped that coupe, just give me a shotgun, a shovel and a quiet patch of wasteground!!

And with a body kit like that I'm guessing the car now has the drag co-efficient of a house brick!

I decided to look this thread up (actually I just searched for one like it).
So the first pic is from Poland (sorry, really for what people of my nation sometimes can do lol... but it does say on the site "beautiful peasant-tuning" which means basically USA-speaking "riced", or UK - "chavved up").

Anyways - I always thought of doing the following:
1. Making over a Fiat Coupe to look like a Ferrari (no bodykits, it just looks like one without it, but put Ferrari badges or DINO badges from 246 on it)
2. Making over a VW (golf, polo or something) to look like a Porsche
3. Getting a Grande Punto and putting a Maserati badge on the front smile

Would you all consider these a blasphemy? I think of it as better than 355s made of MR2s, because Fiat owns Ferrari and Maserati.
Also, look at it this way: there was a Fiat Dino.

It is blasphemy in my book.

The Fiat Coupe really doens't look at all like a Ferrari IMO.

I've never seen a Coupé look right when its made up to look like a ferrari. Everyone who looks at the car knows its not a Ferrari and will probably laugh at it.

Maybe you should think about getting a Lotus Elan Ferraris try and look like that...

Better of starting with a Mk2 MR2 if you want to build a fake ferrari.

I saw a "replica" 355 based on an MR2 in Camberley last week, just didn't look right at all, and sounded pants, and with a G plate it was obviously wrong frown
