It's difficult to understand those who adore Ferrari replicas and fake supercars in general. And while one might come to terms with the idea of exotic vehicle desire outweighing one's possibilities and common sense, here's something that doesn't make any sense at all: hypercar replicas built on actual supercars. Oh, and I've brought along an example, namely a faux Enzo that's actually an F430.
As you can notice in the social media post at the bottom of the page, which showcases the fake Enzo, the details on the contraption are odd enough to tip off conaisseurs, but could probably trick an untrained eye into believing this is the real deal.
Then again, this doesn't come as a surprise - while people using the good old Pontiac Fiero as a starting point might cut corners when building their "Italian exotics", if you start out with something that was actually born in Maranello, you might want to pay close attention to details. Otherwise, it would be like talking a stash of cash and placing it inside a fiberglass box without any door (more on materials below).
Now, this might just be the Enzo replica we discussed back in 2014 (the image gallery above portrays that vehicle), when the vehicle was on sale.
I', not sure about the exact amount for which the 430-gone-Enzo traded hands, but this was initially listed at a hefty $425,000, which was still less than a third of what an Enzo demanded back then.
Even so, it was rumored that the project used plenty of carbon fiber, with this being one of the selling points of the vehicle. Of course, if the chit-chat is true, that would only be a waste of the wonder material.
Heck, even the timeline is wrong with this one, since the Enzo said its goodbyes in 2004, while the F430 didn't replace the 360 until 2007.
