Ferrari Enzo Replica Based On... Ferrari F430 Is a Million Dollar Fail

Ferrari hates Ferrari replicas, you hate Ferrari replicas and we hate Ferrari replicas - well, aside from the ones made of LEGO, which are cool. Despite the world being flooded with so many negative feelings and emotions directed at these four-wheeled wannabes, the wicked contraptions keep showing up and now we have one that's a double prancing fail.

Believe it or not, the Enzo replica in the adjacent images is built on another creation of Maranello, an F430. Yes, instead of turning to your usual Fiero donor car, the people who put this together this chose another Ferrari.

If nothing else will tip you off, you should at least mind the year

While the Enzo was bought to the world between 2002 and 2004, this F430 was born in 2007. Then again, you don't need to get to this detail in order to spot the inconsistency.

Some could say Maranello itself placed an Enzo skin over the 430 with the Millechili concept the Itlians introduced back in 2007. Still, that was just a study that showed a one-ton Ferrari to the world, while this is just a fraud.

Admittedly, this Enzo replica looks closer to the original than most Prancing Horse clones we've seen. After all, when you start off with an F430, you probably want to mind the custom work so that you don't ruin your investment. According to the people who handle this, the body is made of carbon fiber, just like on the actual retired Ferrari halo car.

Still, there are plenty of visual clues that scream "run away, if you buy me, Enzo's ghost will haunt you for eternity".

But of course the damn thing is for sale, what did you expect? Don't expect it to come cheap though. The F430-based Enzo clone lies in Israel and it's being offered for a you're-not-ready-for-it $425,000 (EUR339.770 at the current exchange rates). To get a better idea on where that price places the replica, we'll mention that, nowadays, an Enzo trades hands for $1.4 million (EUR1 million).

Whether we're talking about the exact proportions or the details such as the headlights, as well as the entire rear side, a Ferrari guy or girl will easily sniff this one out.

As if this tortured horse's story wasn't bad enough on its own, the message of the sale ad is meant to seal the deal: " Truly a ONE OF A KIND car, Million dollar look with out the excessive maintenance or insurance."

Alas, this Enzo, which is supposed to be number 400 (the actual cars built) plus one or something, is yet another case of people abusing Enzos.
