True,
But I happen to think that the NSX is one of the best cars ever assembled. Its design philosophy is very muchh "add lightness". It was
built of aluminum, and was way ahead of its time. It is a true super car (top speed ~170 mph), yet uses only a 3 liter NA aspirated engine.
The result of the transformation is very well done, but I bet you it is heavier and slower, not to say completely Miami Vice OTT.
Now, if they done this to a Fiero, or a late model MR2.

Top work - without question.
But....
Why the Ferrari badge - they would maybe be better giving it their own brand name - it deserves it.

Agree with this. It was a perfectly nice-looking NSX before the did this to it. Fabulous glass 'n foam skills but wasted methinks?

They'll call it a Forrari and sell it you along with the Armuni suit, Gocci shoes and Rolax watch. Clever chaps though and obviously good at
what they do. I like the picture of the fag break, universal isn't it.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

And how do you think it's going to steer, when it look like the only mechanical mods are wheels with hugely increased offset, and / or wheel
spacers to increase the track?

well , for chopping an NSX up , that wouldnt bother me too much , altho all that work must have been paid by a guy with too much money / no sense -
all that work would have definitely meant a new vehicle to me , id be trying to sell them to everybody .!!!!!

Good God! Technically speaking I am impressed.
They sure did that quickly! LOL Wonder what the time-lapse intervals are on the photos?
I also wish they had shown the carving process at least once.
Kinda pisses me off these guys make it look so easy. Mine's been Fecking HARD!

I think the foam parts have been made on a cnc milling machine instead of with a wire cutter.Far to smooth and accurate for the hot wire method....i
think
