To call this Italian-inspired Chinese project car a Ferrari replica would do it a kindness that it probably doesn’t deserve, but we’re nonetheless fascinated with this creation which would seem to ape some of the classic lines from the exotic’s racing heritage.
Looking mildly like the unholy spawn of a Ferrari 500 Testa Rossa and a Fiat Panda 4x4, this far eastern amalgam of fibreglass and donor parts is actually used by a Chinese wedding photographer. It seems that many freshly wed couple are tickled to have their nuptial poses captured in the preening mock-up, and with the lovely coastal mountain scene in the background, who can blame them?
The pseudo sports car doesn’t run at all, and is in fact rooted to the ground on a sort of swivelling pole. We don’t begrudge the builders this lack of mechanical completeness in their prop car, but do wonder if they could’ve studied the source photographs just a little closer. Have a look for yourself in our gallery above.
