What to do when your Ferrari is totaled?

Most people will go to the insurance, collect money and go for a new one.....it must be "the way that the economy is" nowadays, but look at this recycled one...

Ferrari doesn't like stuff like that, though this guy didn't leave any ferrari logo's on it, so he may be OK. There was a 360 Limo in the UK that Ferrari sued, or at least tried to a few years back.

Not recycled....built on purpose by a group called Nimik...

from jalopnik...

Imagine sitting at a stop light somewhere in Europe, an old French delivery truck next to you. When things turn green it issues a Satanic wail and disappears into the distance as only an Italian supercar can. This is the result after 1,500 hours of work by Nimik, an group of crazy Italians who like to build rally cars and turn heads doing it.
The car was created by essentially lowering the body of the Fourgonette over the stripped chassis of the Ferrari and then stitching everything together. Of course, the body had to be widened and the air-intakes fabricated and a thousand other things, but holy Moses, the results speak for themselves.
<object class="left gawkerVideo embeddedVideo" width="502" height="309"></object>
We can only imagine the indignant howls of outrage from the Ferrari faithful whenever this guy pulls into a car show. How does one even register this car during a track day? As a 12 HP, rattly old French car with a ton of character but the suspension of a barbecue grill, or one of Italy's finest examples of supercar perfection, with a manic 380 HP 3.5 liter V8 and a suspension from heaven.
Regardless, we salute you, Mr. "I put a Ferrari and a Citroen together," you may have created the most Jalop vehicular mashup ever.

You'd think the exhaust note would give people a clue though.

I like it. Its a damn sleeper and it doesn't look too bad. Also how easy is it to work on the engine of that car (if you know how that is). The back opens up and you are "in" the engine

Not a sleeper, but a ton of laughing until you can't see the taillights...
