Ummmm.

No. The rear quarter panel to bumper transition in particular looks all wrong.

A classic case of: Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

there might be a reason there’s only one…interesting concept, but I rather like the F-type’s unmodded looks. A true GTO? That’s another story. There was a mod to a Datsun Z car years ago that did a much better job of impersonating the GTO. Look up Alpha-1 GTO.

Sometimes you should keep those fantasies to yourself.

A perfect example of taking something beautiful and turning it into something ugly.

Well, if that was intended as a joke, then it's hilarious.

If it wasn't intended as a joke... then it's hysterical


Seriously though, I'd love to see the quizzical looks on peoples' faces as they tried to figure just what the bleep that thing is as it rolled by.

Well, on second thought, it might be one way of having a reliable “Ferrari”.

That’s crazy. This can’t be real…lol

I tell ya, if something is possible it will be done.

Ferrari is so protective of their brand and image it would not surprise me if they would sue. Seriously. I believe they have sued for far less to protect their brand.

Hard to unsee that…wow

And a way better base than the Fieros they were doing it with in the 80's and 90's

Front half works if this is what you want. Rear not so much. Question is not why but why not?

Well, compared to most things I don't like, this has a lot more effort and passion behind it. Points for that

I'd have thought that with all the rest, some custom wheels would be in order.

I agree that the likelihood of Ferrari getting their lawyers on this is high, but don't know the law around replicas.

Oh, and lock the doors for the photo shoot.
