Does this look like a real Ferrari?

Something about this car just doesn't look right.




This is what a real 348 looks like:



Any Ferrari gurus on here care to shed some light?

Its not a Ferrari someone took a pontiac fiero and put on a ferrari kit on it. If not then its probably a kit car. Following are some instances of people turning their Fieros into exotic cars .

The orignal




Some Fieros turned into ferraris.




A lambo





Gt40

Looks real to me.
Even the interior seems to be in order.
Those 348's aren't too expensive these days...

It's real, 348's have always looked "fake" IMO, I had a coworker that had one and always thought to myself how cheap it looked

The body just looked weird to me, but maybe it was because I am use to the 355 more than the 348, there was something just looked different about it.

348's have always seemed a little out of place next to everything else in ferrari's line up (except maybe the 308's, but they are slowly growing on me)

The shape of the side window is rectangular. The real one is not rectangular.

Looks like a real 348 to me.

Those Fiero-based kit cars are easy to spot. But this one looks real.

You can kind of see the interior and it doesn't look like a Fiero's - looks real to me.

348's kinda suck as far as ferraris go. i remember the the black rubber used on the dash and door handles ages quickly and comes off on your hands and clothes. the 355 is a 'fixed' 348.
