Title: Wanted a Ferrari 512TR, could only afford a Toyota Supra...
Post by: cawimmer430 on August 14, 2017, 07:48:33 AM
Seriously, check out the DETAILING that went into making this Supra a "partial Ferrari". We have the Ferrari logo on the hood, the Pininfarina badging on the side in front of the rear tires where it belongs, and the prancing horse on the Testarossaish grille at the rear. The star-shaped rims remind you of the stock wheels on the Testrarossa and Ferraris of that era. Even the license plate shows us what the owner really wanted! PURE GENIUS!  :lol:

I'll never understand why people do this.  It's worse than any amount of stance or ricer bullshit you can do...at least those are honest customizations, whereas putting a Ferrari badge on a Toyota is just...dumb.

The licence plate frame is from a Ferrari dealer.  :lol:

I wonder about the mind set of these people. They have to know they are not fooling anyone.

Sad part is, when you're that stupid and tasteless, you likely believe you are, in fact, fooling everyone.

There was also a Ferrari cap on the rear seats. This guy is hardcore - except for the fact that he's not driving a Ferrari.  :lol:

To be fair, the Supra is the Ferrari of Toyota's, no?

Yeah, but everything on this car screams DESPERATION on behalf of the owner. They clearly wanted a Ferrari Testarossa/512TR, so they are pimping out their Supra. I wouldn't say they are trying to pass it off as a Ferrari, but the Ferrari and Pininfarina ornaments are just silly.

This is not a bash against the Supra BTW.

Since Ferrari is going to build an SUV, and BMW has built a FWD MPV, it wouldn't surprise me if in the future Ferrari was offering a family-friendly MPV or minivan of sorts. :lol:

Ferrari does make an AWD hybrid wagon, so it's not out of the question.

That Supra is probably the most reliable, 1980s era car with a Ferrari badge on it in the world.

Indeed. It's only a question of time...
