Thats good and everything, but why put a Vauxhall engine into a Ferrari

Or is it one of them Ferrari 'MR2' 355's?

The German company VMAX likes to put Opel engines in other brands... remember the E30 BM demo car?

Don't know why this one... and the forum I took this from is in Turkish or something... so, I don't understand zilxt.

You make since of it...

I'd understand a newer Vaux engine in an E30 BMW because it's an older car. But not a Ferrari. Weird.

What a decision to make.... sweet sounding, high revving V8 built by Ferrari or 4 pot turbo engine from a Vauxhall...

Going by the rear structure, i'd say its a kit car.

Not an MR2, nor a Rarri.

compare to a real one




Notice the bonnet... the real one has holes in it, the fake one looks like fiberglass.

Yeah, remove the plastics and it could be the same? Need more images of a stripped 355 bay.

As for pople saying about the V8 over a 2.0t, well how do you know the car wasn't bought cheap with a screwed engine and that the owner didn't have sapre turbo lying around and has done it on the cheap.

Personnally, buying a new V8 rarri engine, or cheap 4 pot? Just for sh1ts n giggles......?

engine lid is wrong but stuts, rear panel are correct, even got the correct badge on the right strut top, if it is a kit car then they have used identical parts to build it, no way an mr2 though as window shape is wrong

the engine will have different charecteristics and possibly more power depending on what they have done to it.

A 355 has a good chassis, so better than sticking it in a shopping trolley or ancient cavalier.

Seems like a cool enough idea to me, wouldnt want to do it personaly tho.
