Ferrari 360 Modena Replica

this is the first Ferrari 360 Modena replica I’ve ever seen that actually looks good! Now that I think about it, it’s one of the only kit cars in general that looks good. Yeah, that picture up there is the kit, not the real 360.

The Ferrari 360 Modena happens to be my favorite car of all time, and while there aren’t very many kits out there for it, there are a few I’ve seen…and they’re hideous. Take this horrendous example:

Sorry to whoever made this, but that looks terrible, and wouldn’t fool anybody. It doesn’t even have the glass covering the engine! C’mon, that’s part of the 360’s character.

Anyway, this kit from Extreme Cars looks great, and being such a 360 Modena lover I’d say I’m pretty critical (or is it cynical?) It can even be converted from a 2-seater to a family-hauling 4-seater. That’s pretty impressive. It’s built on the Peugeot 406 as opposed to an MR2 or Fiero, which attributes to the accuracy. From what I can tell it’s of high quality, and each panel is spaced correctly, showing the craftsmanship is good. The rear of the car is surprisingly accurate, other than the lack of tailpipes, unless I’m missing something here:

Replica: Toyota MR2 Based Ferrari 360 Spyder

Clearly, not even your grandma would mistake this third-generation Toyota MR2 based replica for a real Ferrari but that doesn’t mean we’re not giggly impressed with its miniature 360 Spyder looks in the same way we were dazed a couple of months ago with the mini Smorche. If anything else it looks kinda cute –holy merde, I just said the “c” word… What I meant to say is it that looks endearing in a masculine, petrol-headed way. I think… Well, you know what I mean. -Follow the jump for more pictures

Ferrari 360 Spider: Another One Bites The Dust

A Ferrari 360 Spider takes a shortcut through the woods in Sweden going over 250 km/h (155mph) -or at least that’s what the guy who uploaded the video on Youtube says. Seeing the dismantled Ferrari 360 Spider we’d say the driver wasn’t going that fast. Nevertheless, still a terrible accident. Here’s a question that popped up in our heads while we were watching the video; what’s the percentage of Ferrari's that end up in junkyards?
