The Austrian Times website reports Police in Italy were so upset at being outsmarted by this fake MR2-based Ferrari with British number plates, that they lifted it from the workshop where they found it, and are intent on despatching it to the crusher.

We quote: "Outraged Italian cops are to crush this stunning looking Ferrari - after discovering it was cobbled together in England from a clapped out Toyota MR2. Police in Ostuni discovered the fake when they saw what they thought was a rare 355 Berlinetta in the bodyshop of a local garage.

"But as they took a closer look they realised the pedigree supercar had far humbler British origins and confiscated it under Italy's copyright laws.

"It was a good fake but just a fake, Ferrari is one of Italy's crown jewels. We can't allow cheap copies," said one officer, according to the Austrian Times report.

Here at PH towers, we're filing this under 'it's on the internet, so it must be true'. But if we were these guys we'd be thinking twice about that touring holiday to Tuscany...

haha oh man thats got me laughing lol

Thats some bogus ass shit. It's obviously not a ferrari.

Ferrari NA sued and got the molds from a couple Kit Car manufactures in the US. The Ferro to F355 kit was within 1% of all dimensions.

Rofl.

Honestly, no matter how much it looks like a ferrari, every time you sit in it, you have to realize "damn this is still a fucking fiero"

adrians_s13 · 11-03-2009, 12:01 AM

so wait... it was confiscated by Italian cops because they found out it was a fake?

duuude... theres a civic at my school I see almost every day with a 2000 Mustang headlights and tail lights... confiscate that! pleeease

SexPanda · 11-03-2009, 12:10 AM

^^Dude that thing sounds like it needs to be confiscated and the owner castrated...

randomxzero · 11-03-2009, 01:28 AM

for the amount of money you waste on that kit you could do some serious upgrades to your damn car..
Good thing they took that Mr2 away from its owner..
seriously have you ever heard a ferrari pass by you, this car will never be able to sound like that..

ronmcdon · 11-03-2009, 01:56 AM

Geez why don't those bumbling twits go do some real work?!
Damn Italian polizia = fake cops.
just look at that good-for-nothing imbecile standing next to the car.

DETT · 11-03-2009, 02:59 AM

for christ sake, although I like the 355 berlinetta they are far from rare, especially lately, they can be found for about 35-39k anymore. I understand why they are gonna crush it though since they have strict copyright laws there. But rare the berlinetta is not.

punxva · 11-03-2009, 07:24 AM

i think its funny how serious they are taking this. Then again it is their design copyright so they have every right to uphold it.

Yeah, it's a bit of a over reaction. Maybe they should crack down on the mob crime that's going on (if you haven't seen the public hit of a person, it's online).
