Muffleman Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 How about explaining that your ferrari is actually a Peugeot 406 coupe http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/360/q&a.htm For more details, click on the 360 here http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 looks like a tidier kit though...... on the mr2 the roof always looked out of proportion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 It looks well done. This bit sounded interesting: The chassis is strong enough to take an engine in the back, we are doing this but also leaving the engine in the front so two 3L engines with 4 wheel drive will also be available soon. This will be a limited run and cars will be £40,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 40000! you can buy a real ferrari for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 i think i'd rather have a twin engined 4wd 406! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.B Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 That does look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Agreed it does look good, but its like all of these conversions - when someone asks about it, you have to admit to what it is ! It's like that thread on the guy in japan that turned an NSX into an F50, unbelievable craftmanship but it ain't an F50. I just don't see the point in spending that much on something that is so far from the original and then worth f... all come sale time.

Trig Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Looks good but too expensive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Saw it at Stoneleigh this year. It does look much better proportioned than the MR2 conversions. Will be an interesting option when 406s are a bit cheaper. Seems a shame to have the engine up front though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Seems a shame to have the engine up front though. And the drive to the front wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 2 x 3L engines will be interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 The pics dont match, If you look at the window shape of the 406 then compare them to the real thing, they are totaly differant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgs Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 yea but at £40.000 id rather have a real f355. and with the extra weight of the engine i bet it wouldnt be that fast anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I used to know the ISH guys and they actually got shut down by Ferrari themselfvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 they must chop the roof to get the right lines looks good though but 40k ,just think what you could do to a supe for that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
