Ok, first of all, that's just ridiculous. You can do whatever the hell you want to a car after buying it, something Ferrari should know better with their low-end cars, but trying to fool people into thinking that this is a genuine unmolested Ferrari is asinine. And citing "trademark infringement" is ridiculous - it's still a Ferrari, not some Fiero knock-off.

Secondly, it's still a repost, you could have bumped the original thread(s) instead.

And third of all, that looks wicked! I love how the roofline slopes back gradually to the back instead of sticking out like the opera windows on a Chrysler New Yorker Brougham St. Regis Coupe.

Glad to see local news around the world is as lame as the AV Club quality crap we get here at Penn State.

Why's this guy an idiot? First of all, the 360 isn't rare by exotic standards. It's not like he destroyed a rare, vintage classic. Second of all, he's probably gonna get a lot more business with a Ferrari limo than a Escalade limo.

Also, I think it's pretty cool with the gullwing doors and all. Looks pretty good for a limo.

I saw this a while ago, thought it was a terrible idea.



Then I thought about it some more upon seeing this post...








And I still think its a terrible idea.






You're messing with the only two redeemable features about a Ferrari - handling and sound.

I HATE streched versions

No one else noticed the horrid mispronunciation of 'Gallardo' in the vid???

And that he's thinking of making a stretched Gallardo

[A.Fonz]

He bought the car with his own money, he's free to do whatever the fuck he want's with it as far as I'm concerned, I bet he makes a hella lot of money hiring that thing out.

The minute that he chopped it in half, it ceased being a Ferrari and started being a pile of Ferrari spare parts. I think Ferrari have every right to want it debadged.

Had a browse through his site and came across this-



That went through my city a few weeks go for a kids party. The kids were hanging out the window and they shouted abuse at me as I was waiting for a bus. I was not best pleased.

[Forstrocker]

this is just pure rape, what kind of idiot can do somthing like that to a sports car?! i'd kill to get a normal prodution 360 and this blithering idiot just fucks it up, by stretching it!
this dickhead should be forced disappropriated und this mutantcar should be scraped publicly in order to make sure that something like this will never happen again!

Nobody said you can still take it back to the dealership and pass it off as a stock, unmolested 360, but that's just ridiculous. So if somebody modifies a car's sheetmetal it isn't from that manufacturer anymore? If I swap a 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce Merlin 27-liter WWII engine into the back of a 1975 DAF 44, it's still a DAF that just happens to have a ridiculous engine in the back. (A DAFt engine, if you will! Zing! )

I don't think he did a bad job of it, and as far as money goes there will always be some people who want a Ferrari Limo. They don't really care about cars, they just want to be in a Ferrari. I hope I never meet one of them though...

[Crazyjeeper]

Its his car, he can do what he wants with it. Its not like you sign a contract with ferrari stating that you will not modify the vehicle upon purchase.

And they like it ! and the the bitch says ''im thinking om making a gallardo''
