When we talk about fakes, this is normally associated with designer goods, which could be anything from clothing, jewellery, handbags and now it would seem high performance cars like the Ferrari Modena 360!
But unfortunately for anyone who may feel that this is a great idea, then your luck may be out, because the Italian police have just recently crushed a ring of mechanics who have become experts in producing the fake cars from Pontiacs, Mercedes Benz and Toyota car parts.
In the operation the police have seized fourteen of the fake Ferrari Modena 360’s, seven of which had already been sold the other eight were in production, however it is not yet known how many of the not so super cars have been sold in the past and the question has to be asked of the people who paid the £15,000 for these cars, clearly they were out to impress their friends and must have known that the cars were not entirely right. Especially as the car has been out of production since 2004 and a real one can cost anything up to £75,000!
But for fans of the original Miami Vice TV series will note that the black Ferrari Daytona featured in the series was actually based on a Corvette Stingray, if its good enough for them then it should be okay for anyone, shouldn’t it?
