It looks like James Glickenhausisn't the only one interested in creating unique Ferrari's, but this guy took it the other way around creating a Ferrari F40 transvestite from a 1980's Suzuki SC 100 GX De Luxe model !
This Ferrari replica was found in a Ducth used car site. In the add, the seller quotes "this unique car is retrofitted with a pumped up Ford Escort engine". So adding it up we have a Suzuki SC 100 GX De Luxe model that wears a Ford Escort engine and looks like a Ferrari F40. Go figure...
But if you're still interested, you can visit the site here: Marktplaats. By the way, the cars selling price is 2.750 Euros or about 3.500 USD. It seems that the prancing horse on the hood helped this Suzuki retain its value throughout the years…
Created by a company called Watercar, this fiberglass amphibious vehicle is styled after the 2002 Convertible Camaro and comes with an independent suspension and brakes from a C4 Corvette. On the road, it is powered by a 2.5 Liter turbocharged Subaru boxer engine with 300 horsepower that is linked to a Rancho Type I-4 speed manual gearbox. In the water the vehicle is "propelled" by a Berkeley 12JE Jet Drive.
The WaterCar is said to be able to reach speeds in excess of 125 MPH (201 km/h) on land. Once the amphibious vehicle is driven into the water all four wheels are hydraulically retracted with the flip of a switch.
Furthermore, the bottom covers that enclose the wheel well are also hydraulically extended to create a smooth high speed bottom helping the WaterCar to achieve speeds of 40 MPH (60 km/h) on the water. The vehicle comes with four usable seats while the doors are fully functional with the aircraft style lock assembly assuring that they are completely water tight in the sea.
