On a related point (to the thread title) I was looking at a 612 Scaglietti the other day and thinking how many styling cues were similar between the two cars (No, I'm not pretending I have a "secret ferrari" just noting some similarities in appearance). Overall shape, front lights, rear lights, etc.....

I absolutely love the 612 - I know not everyone does, but I think they're a fantastic-looking car. Would have one at the drop of a hat if they were affordable!

yea true true. But something gets on my nerves for some reason when i see fiat coupes with big ferrari badges all around.

That ferrari coupe looks dreadful!

But I do agree with you Cappo, the 612 seems to resemble the coupe in some ways. It has definaly grown on me though, didn't like it much when it came out. It's not as in your face as most other Ferrari's, but I suspect it will age very well. Much like the 456.

The Coop is a FIAT, quite why some people dont understand this is beyond me

Though i do fancy a tasty widearch kit for mine (not like that one )

The old bill should be able nick people for wheels like that!

That fiat farrari is a mess it looks like a "Fisher-Price" My First Farrari"

The only decent thing i've seen was the mr2 kit to make it look like a farrari. MR2 in Wolves Clothing

It's still a little like padding your underwear with socks...

This is the best attempt on a coupe yet by far...

Why have they glued pieces of exhaust pipe to the rear lights?

And the rest? Dear lord...

I said that ages ago when the 612 had just been released but no-one seemed to agree with me . I had one come up beside me in Edinburgh the other day,gorgeous car and looks like what I imagine would be a very nice evolution of our Coupé if it were still in production .

DISGUSTING

There's more pics by thumbnail here.

Not to my taste. Looks far to square at the back, and weird at the front. And the Coupe, although a gorgeous looking car, is not a Ferrari!

I mean seriously, at what stage did the guy stop, take a step back and thought - yep I've made a ferrari and it looks great.

Its hideous from every single angle Well actually I haven't seen the underneath of the car so thats unfair.

*dry mode on*

That is unfair, as the windscreen wipers are quite nice too.

*/dry mode off*

That car has offended my eyes. I thought just replacing the Fiat badges with Ferrari ones were bad enough, but that takes the p***

612 is to heavy, Ferrari seem intent on trying to make barges for rockstars, its sad considering the amount of great, lightweight Ferraris they have made that they are now resorting to AMG tactics to make fast cars.

Would any one ever consider just putting the ferrari alloys on theirs? They do actually look quite good. But thats as far as Id go or maybee som porche calipers

What an idiot!!! Imagine trying to make your Ferrari look like a fiat? What was he thinking?

I recognise the tail light thingumy bits. I got some saucepans from Aldi's just before Christmas. I just unscrewed the handle and....ta da, exact match

These cars are beautiful straight out of the box, leav'em alone.

Front bumper is in pretty good shape ...

That is just bloody awful.
Saying that, I remember seeing a Testerosa (spelling?) a few months back and boy, did it look dated and awful, really kit-car looking and boxy (it was not a kit car, as I know it to be a genuine ferrari).

That is pure tat that is!

If I ever meet the guy that raped that coupe, just give me a shotgun, a shovel and a quiet patch of wasteground!!

And with a body kit like that I'm guessing the car now has the drag co-efficient of a house brick!

Twat!!!!!!!!

I decided to look this thread up (actually I just searched for one like it).
So the first pic is from Poland (sorry, really for what people of my nation sometimes can do lol... but it does say on the site "beautiful peasant-tuning" which means basically USA-speaking "riced", or UK - "chavved up").

Anyways - I always thought of doing the following:
1. Making over a Fiat Coupe to look like a Ferrari (no bodykits, it just looks like one without it, but put Ferrari badges or DINO badges from 246 on it)
2. Making over a VW (golf, polo or something) to look like a Porsche
3. Getting a Grande Punto and putting a Maserati badge on the front

Would you all consider these a blasphemy? I think of it as better than 355s made of MR2s, because Fiat owns Ferrari and Maserati.
Also, look at it this way: there was a Fiat Dino.

Here let me help you with that

It is blasphemy in my book.

The Fiat Coupe really doens't look at all like a Ferrari IMO.

I've never seen a Coupé look right when its made up to look like a ferrari. Everyone who looks at the car knows its not a Ferrari and will probably laugh at it.

Maybe you should think about getting a Lotus Elan Ferraris try and look like that...

Better of starting with a Mk2 MR2 if you want to build a fake ferrari.

I saw a "replica" 355 based on an MR2 in Camberley last week, just didn't look right at all, and sounded pants, and with a G plate it was obviously wrong

A neibour used to own a white countach.

It looked great and whenever it was parked in town people would gather around it.

Then it started up and err.. that familiar sounding 4 Cylinder Boxer engine was there.

As a 12 year old kid I was not fooled ! - even then I though how embarrasing that must have been.

The most 'ferrari like angle' imo is at night time if you're walking towards the car head on front facing towards you, it looks very wide and ferrari like or if passing from a distance but for the last time, ITS NOT A FERRARI LOL, it is what it is, a fiat coupe. Makes me cringe when i see the constant 'baby ferrari' adverts on pistonheads and ebay

How about Dino badges from the 246 GT?
Wouldn't that be a cool tribute to Ferrari-Fiat connection?
Cos id NEVER build a fake Ferrari over an MR2 or Fiero...
But I would try to build a nice Ferrari Replica on the Coupe. Cos this fake F50 is a disgrace to Fiat, Ferrari AND my country lol - but it failed cos a Coupe should be madeover to look like another Ferrari, maybe 550 - its headlights look like Coupe's (a bit) - then just change the rear and the wheels. voila.
How about other stuff I proposed, is it also a blasphemy?

Ma che Dice???

A Fiat coupe is a fiat coupe - how about we leave it as a trubute to Fiat

A ferrari is a ferrari how about we leave that as a tribute to ferrari.

If they wanted a fiat/ferrari tribute they would have made one. . . maybe thats just me . . .bho

lol... you cant just go and buy a Ferrari
so my view is, it's better to fake a ferrari with the Coupe than japanese ste

It's never good to fake a ferrari. If you can't afford a real one, just dont do it. Nobody will be fooled espec upon start-up and you're just kidding yourself. The coupe doesnt need to try to be anything that it isnt as its fantastic as it is, dont understand why people have to mess with such a great piece of design.

one for all you coupe / ferrari lovers courtesy of you tube...

Shame really, two tone paint job aside (which IMO doesnt suit the lines of the coupe, mainy noticeable on the C pillar where theres no natural 'join' or cut off) the car looks in fairly decent nick, and looked after.

The simple truth is, the Coupe's subtle design is not outrageous or extreme enough to pass as a Ferrari.

The simple truth is: the coupe is a Fiat, not a Ferrari. It is sufficient in and of itself. Why try and pass it off as something it's not?

Beautifully said.
