There are a number of questionable supercar replicas out there, but the good thing about these monstrosities is that, in most cases, the underlying donor car was a hunk of junk to start with. In other cases, the donor car is decent but was produced in abundance, meaning that the creator of the replica hasn't ruined something rare. And, on rare occasions, the base car is something good and the replica body on top of it is just as fine. Sadly, today's Facebook Marketplace find is a mix of all three categories. What you see below is a hideous attempt at replicating two versions of the Ferrari LaFerrari, and ruining a perfectly good first-gen Audi R8 in the process.
What you see here comes from the southernmost tip of Africa, but that's no excuse. South Africa builds exquisite Shelby replicas, but the creator of this assault on the eyes was nowhere near as fastidious. The panel gaps are big enough to fit a Hot Wheels through, the misaligned butterfly doors (which are inaccurately described as suicide doors) are barely able to hold their own weight, and the wheels are knock-off Vossens that appear too small for the rear and too large for the front.
It's almost like someone threatened the creator's dog's life if he didn't use all the fiberglass he could find. Worse still, the car is an abominable amalgamation of the "regular" LaFerrari and the track-only FXX-K Evo. At least stick to one theme, dude.
The interior shows even less effort, with a fake Ferrari badge stuck over the steering wheel airbag and the dash cut on either end to accommodate the dastardly doors. An oversized fire extinguisher has been conspicuously placed in the passenger footwell too (this really builds our confidence), the steering wheel is slick (probably with KFC grease), and the stock Audi driver cluster is littered with errors and airbag warnings. Yikes!
Facebook Marketplace is certainly the new Craigslist: comically, the ad description says that "this vehicle looks like the real deal and has the power and speed to match." Yeah, right. Astonishingly, this individual thinks his, er, unique build is worth ZAR650,000. That's a little more than $41,000, but even if you dropped a zero from that figure, we'd steer well clear. That poor Audi...
