I saw this in a Kit Car magazine, probably the strangest conversion ever. It looks like an 80s hot hatch but underneath is a Ferrari 308! It was built in 1984 by Swiss company Sbarro and now for sale by a Dutch dealer.

I've seen (far too) many Ferrari replicas built on everything from the Toyota MR2 to a Ford Escort, but there can't be many examples of it being done the other way around.

Looks like n early Golf meets the rally version of the Renault 5. What a waste of a Ferrari

I see Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler are merging. It could be their first design effort.

Sbarro built some of the most awful looking cars ever made in the '80's. I think they did it just because they could.

I can't get the scale on that Super 8, to me it looks like a radio controlled model trying to look like a real car.

It's a bit like wine tasting this, everybody gets a different taste!

That is a very good saying, I must remember it.
