If you take a look under the skin of the “Ferrari F430” in the adjacent images, you’ll find a seventh-generation Toyota Celica GT, so don’t go looking for the engine in the middle.
Instead, if you open the bonnet, you’ll find a 1.8-liter four-cylinder unit that produces 142 hp. As if the underpowered status wouldn't be enough, we also have what you might call a rarity here: since we're talking about a Toyota Celica, power flows to the front wheels.
Simply imagining the moment when you enter a bend in a vehicle with Prancing Horse badges and understeers knocks at your door makes us want to hide under a blanket.
The vehicle comes with a mileage of 111,000 (that's 179,000 km for all you reading this across the pond) and is available for sale on eBay. If you think that this kind of automotive creation would suit you, you have to be prepared to spend CA$36,000 / US$35,000 / EUR28,600.
However, it would be better if you just skipped this kind of ads. For one thing, such contraptions lack the most basic of features - such a vehicle shouldn't be sold without a dozen complimentary wipers and maybe a set of car wash coupons. Just think about all the rotten tomatoes automotive aficionados are going to throw at you.
Then again, we really hope somebody buys this Ferrari replica and starts a business. Think about it, you can sell tickets and have people crush the thing bit by bit. Sure, the Toyota underneath has no fault, but we'd rather have collateral victims that font-wheel-drive Ferraris.

Some of the details could trick you. From the distance. If you were less than sober
Back to the exterior of the car, you can see that the vehicle is pretty well done, with certain proportion aspects, as well as the wheels being the only exceptions.The vehicle comes with a mileage of 111,000 (that's 179,000 km for all you reading this across the pond) and is available for sale on eBay.
