The trend of creating replicas of ultra-expensive automobiles from mass-market cars is at an all-time high
This Ferrari F430 replica has been created from a humble Hyundai Accent! Yes, you heard that right! In the last few years, I have written about many replicas of famous automobiles which have been conceived from absolute everyday cars. For instance, there have been a few instances of people making Lamborghinis from Honda Civics. But this time around, things are even more impressive. So, without any further ado, let us delve deep into the specifics of this latest case.
Ferrari F430 Replica from Hyundai Accent
This video comes from MIHIR GALAT on YouTube. The YouTuber uploads content around automobiles. On this occasion, he is interacting with the creator of this rather strange but impressive Ferrari F430 replica. The man mentions that he turned the old Accent into a 4-seater vehicle with an open top. In fact, most interior elements have been borrowed from the donor model itself. This includes the dashboard, door panels, driver’s instrument cluster, etc. The red seats lend a sporty appearance and the Ferrari logo on the headrests of the seat also looks great.
However, the main attraction is the exterior. The creator has a CNC machine which he uses to make curvaceous fenders of this Ferrari. He also mentions that the bumper and other parts of the body are metal. The reason is simple. Due to low ground clearance, if the bumper is made from fibre, it breaks easily. Furthermore, the headlamps and taillamps look quite identical to the original Ferrari. Finally, this Ferrari/Accent even gets new alloy wheels with larger tyres. All these aspects contribute towards making it unique. When they go for a drive on the highway, everyone is seen getting attracted to this car like a magnate.
My View
Now, I must mention that most car modifications are illegal in India. Therefore, you must keep this in mind prior to customizing your car. However, with projects like this replica, the use case is different. These are used for special occasions like weddings or other ceremony for aesthetics. Also, people use such cars as their passion projects to learn new things and demonstrate their creativity and experience. I advise you to use your customized car only for these purposes. Otherwise, you might have problems with the traffic cops.
