i think it came out in the TG malaysia mag b4.. even they were fooled by it at 1st..

the 406 coupe is already 2 me a splendid lookin car.. the shape was designed by the same people who did the 360 modena in fact, pininfarina..

i guess the only version suited 2 put the ferrari kit on is the 3.0L v6 engine.. at least that has some grunt, although of coz it wouldnt be able 2 match the 360's awesome 3.6L 400bhp v8.. other versions wit the smaller engines juz wouldnt do, especially the diesels.. juz imagine, a ferrari lookin car wit a tractor's engine laugh.gif

the thing is, it wouldnt sound like a ferrari, n the interior of the 406 coupe is one of the dullest lookin one ive seen in my entire life.. or does extreme cars also made a custom exhaust system which makes the car sound better??

They also strip out the interior for the mod.The stock dashboard was remodelled,you get a ferrari steering,Recaro racing seats and Ferrari style gearshift lever
how bout the exhaust?? they rebuild that as well??

They say if you use a original ferrari exhaust piping and muffler,it sounds very authentic.Their exhaust is a replica of the real ferrari 360 modena exhaust.Sound not as nice as the original one
the trouble wit gettin an authentic ferrari pipings n mufflers is that its gonna cost more than the stock 406 itself, n i am not joking, this is true.. ill stick wit the one theyve fitted, eventhough not as nice, its better than the original, rite??

another question.. wat bout the back seats?? does it still has it.. coz im assuming they still retain the engine at the front wit front wheel drive, its gonna be major work 2 convert it 2 mid engined rear wheel drive layout..

i can see the point of this car.. its an average joe's solution 2 gettin a ferrari, eventhough its not quite really a ferrari.. think bout it, its gonna be use only for posing, so no need mega power n mega performance.. it looks authentic enough 2 even fool motoring journalists.. n plus, its gonna be much much much cheaper 2 run than a real ferrari..

i like the idea of having the back seats.. think bout it, it looks like a ferrari but still retain the practicality of a normal saloon..

from the site i understand that they use moulds from the original 360 2 build the panels, n instead of making changes 2 these panels 2 fit the car (which is wat most replica carmakers do), they made changes 2 the car itself 2 fit the panels.. that means, u could change the panels wit original ones.. thats astonishing.. thumbup.gif
