In France, a Ferrari F40 is sold 'for three times nothing': what's the secret of this car

A unique design based on the Audi TT is offered in France for a fraction of the cost of a real Ferrari F40.

The Ferrari F40 replica is based on the all-wheel drive Audi TT of the second generation from 2010, featuring a 3.2-liter V6 engine and a 6-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. The engine produced 250 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque. The replica keeps the roof, doors, mirrors, and fuel cap from the German coupe.

The front part of the car tries to imitate the Ferrari F40 with similar bumpers and headlights, although it is unknown if the pop-up lights actually work. As for the bulge on the bonnet surrounded by distinctive air ducts, this might be due to the engine's location still being at the front.

The rear part of the car also closely resembles the original. The car features the iconic rear wing of the F40, though with T32 lettering on the sides. It also boasts triple exhaust pipes, round tail lights, and air vents on the rear wings. These are noticeably wider, matching the increased wheel size.

The seller hasn’t shared any interior photos, which likely remains unchanged. This means the F40 replica is designed for a 2+2 seating arrangement, providing practicality over the original. The only downside is the restricted access to the cargo area due to the additional rear body structure.

The Ferrari F40 replica based on an Audi TT is located in the Taradeau region in southeastern France and is offered for 14,999 euros. :)
