Is there some sort of underground movement in Germany we don�t know about devoted to converting Pontiac Fiero�s into shoddy Ferrari knockoffs? Is this a new national pastime over there or a devious ploy by Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Audi to discredit their Italian competitors?
Whatever you may think, the Fiero-based Ferrari replica is here to stay. And, much like David Hasslehoff, there�s nowhere these things are more popular than in Germany. At least, that�s the impression that I get. Presumably built in Belgium (as it is registered there), this replica has 71,000 km (44,154 miles) on the clock, a manual transmission and a whopping 123 hp. That�s only 349 hp short of a real F40!
What�s really funny though are some of the seller�s comments (albeit when translated from German to English). For example, the seller is keen to remind us that this is not a genuine Ferrari -it�s not?!-, merely a replica / conversion.
I also like how he or she compares the price to the cost of an actual, genuine F40 (state as between �300,000 and �400,000 / US$395,380 and US$527,040), as if that counts for anything when dealing with a Fiero-based replica...
Though it�s worthwhile mentioning, with and a current bid of �3,910 (US$5,152), the reserve price has still not be met. I�d call this the worse Fiero-based replica I�ve ever seen, but know too well that there are much, much worse examples out there. Please leave your scorn and derision in the comments section below.
