No, there's no typo in the title above: after all, there's a long way from the Pininfarina-designed Ferrari P4/5 (think: film director James Glickenhaus) to what lies before us. Instead, the Ferrari F45 is what happens when car people who have seen their fair share of memes decide it's time for some other form of humor and come up with this sort of edits.
Unnecessary nose swaps are a thing these days, with such pixel shenanigans showing up in all corners of social media. So just when you thought you had seen them all, you come across one that's not just new, but will also send your eyebrows toward the ceiling (you are staying at home, aren't you?).
In fact, I found myself lost in one of the said corners earlier today, with this happening to have a name: the Nose Swap Nation Facebook Group (it's a private party, but, at the time of this writing, access was granted with ease).
At first, I came across the Ferrari portrait mentioned in the title, one that, accompanied by a troll's tale, could probably pass as a legitimate test mule to a really, really untrained eye.
Then I decided to keep using the wheel of my mouse as its maker intended and reached the 992 Porsche 911 GT1 you'll notice in the gallery above, which seems to take things to a whole new level of sophistication - the idea behind such stunts revolves around basic editing efforts rather than the hours of high-polish work the rendering artists we normally feature put in, but this Porscha might be outside the rules.
Regardless, my curiosity led to a path of supercars, which is something that sounds appealing, especially when you're willing to stay connected amused during these times.
So, moving on, the Jeep Renegade-faced Lamborghini Huracan pretty much came to me in all its Performante glory. As for the mix involving the Mercedes-AMG GT and the Porsche Macan, this seems to work on a smile-inducing level.
In the end, one basic question seems to linger: why not?
