R650 000 LaFerrari bargain comes with an Audi R8 V10 twist

Want a LaFerrari but can’t fork out the millions to buy it? This replica proves you just need an Audi R8 donor car and an audience that is as blind as a bat. This latest LaFerrari bargain replica can be yours for the meagre price of only R650 000 although we’re not sure you’d be convincing anyone.LaFerrari bargain

The LaFerrari bargain made waves on social media after it was found on Facebook Marketplace three days ago. Since then, the unique creation has gone viral but not in the ways we expect the creator of the machine would have wanted. The listing in Johannesburg has been stated to be “Probably the best Ferrari replica in South Africa. The donor car is a Audi R8 V10 Spyder 2010 model.” The advertiser further states that “A lot of time, effort and money has been put into this project to get the vehicle to look like a real LaFerrari,” and is convinced by the workmanship on the model by adding that “the vehicle looks like the real deal and has the power and speed to match,” although we are sure the Audi supercar still lacks some of the Ferraris prowess.LaFerrari bargain 

Underneath the replica lies a first generation Audi R8 V10 Spyder, a sublime sports car to begin with accompanied by an enthralling soundtrack, albeit not the recognisable aural scream of the 6,3-litre V12 found in the limited Italian hypercar. Once can only hope that it was salvaged from cosmetic damage to be ushered into its second life as a LaFerrari lookalike. LaFerrari bargain

Despite this, the advertiser adds that he is “Looking for someone to give her a new home and continue with the project.” This is still a work in progress with the front lights needing to be completed and the interior needing some “TLC”. LaFerrari bargain

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
