Brace Yourselves: Someone Has Stanced A Ferrari

Do not adjust your set. Someone really has stanced a Ferrari. This, err, controversial 348 has surfaced at the Sapporo Custom Supercar Show in Japan.

It’s the combination of a car allegedly belonging to drift shop Slacker’s Haunt and the specialist tuners at FERS.Cru, who widened the bodywork and replaced the shocks with adjustable airbags. Check out that arch ‘gap’. You’d have to be a single-celled organism to get your shoe into that.

It’s still a Ferrari, though. It’s red, exquisitely shiny and rides on stunning gold split rims. But there’s something fundamentally, inescapably wrong about it. Like an MR2-based fake 355, this just won’t let your eyes get comfortable.

On the other hand, as weird as it looks, you could argue that since the 348 was never that practical in the first place the team in Hokkaido hasn’t committed _total _sacrilege. And at least it seems to have been well crafted. Time to open the floor to comments…
