Nimrod "Zero" Brings LaFerrari Look to 458

There's a limit even to what most Ferrari buyers can do or buy, and that limit even has a name. For the tens of thousands of people who bought a Prancing Italian Horse in the past few years, only a handful of them are able to afford the LaFerrari. This flagship enjoys the title "limited production" and is thus very expensive and very rare. As Ferrari owners across the world put on their pouty faces we bring you the solution…

From a company called Nimrod Performance, we present the "Zero". It's basically a rebodied Ferrari 458 Italia with many of its design details inspired by the LaFerrari flagship we just mentioned.

This thing is ridiculously cool, even if Ferrari might want to sue them for enfringing on their designs. The nose of the car features the same point as the hypercar, doubled between the upper part and the lower chin. The more you look at the Zero, the more you forget this was ever a 458.

As you look at the side, things are a bit less radical, though new wheels, mirrors and a round air intake feeding the wheel arch grab your attention. With a central strut and wing on top forming an F1-style T shape, the design absolutely screams LaFerrari and so do the exhaust pipes.

The only truly original part is the color, a combination between yellow, gold and brown. The similarities to Mansory's philosophy is quite obvious in this respect.

Not a lot is known about Nimrod Elite Tuning. The company was founded by a Kuwaiti businessman who now lives in Hungary. According to their website Mr Bader Al Roudhan started a car collection in 1995 with "several supercars like the Koenigsegg, Pgani, Bugatti, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Spyker, Cizeta, Aston Martin and a couple more". It's a new company with three big projects, all revealed this year, this "Zero", an Aventador and a Ferrari Enzo.

"Monaco, the city where dreams come true. It is known to host the creme de la creme for decades, constantly evolving gala events. Everywhere you look you see Ferraris and Lamborghinis. This is the place where elegance and motorsport meet. We created a handcrafted supercar that gives you performance and refinement in perfect balance. We used precious materials in the interior and eye-catching forms on the exterior. Our car is inspired by this magnificent city. In Monaco it is difficult to stand out from the crowd. But with the Nimrod Zero you could make a difference," Nimrod says about its Ferrari 458 project.

Update: Since this is such a rare and interesting project, we though we'd go off on a limb and presume you guys also want to see a walkaround video of the car:
