eheh...looking at this picture with Mads Fischer and other JAS technicians we have found this is a GTC clone car and not (thanks god) a real one.
It has anyway a large fiberglass bodywork, but for some reason this is absolutely not an original ferrari 550gtc.
First of all no one car ever done (all made by Jas Motorpsort) has the british side driving..all are LHD.
Is impossible to delete the inner roll cage, cause that was fixed to the chassis cutting completely the body and refixing that.
Impossible to delete that when in place.U should unassembly all the car,and destroy that.
No gtc has 5 bolts wheel, but all have the mono bolt used in competition and more...the gtc have not road use tyres(on normal roads the race tyres will survive for 500 km and no longer).
Being a british car spotted in italy that is also impossible.

Now I am curious to know where this rich nut guy have found the wide body fiberglasses to tune that way a so expensive ferrari (it IS anyway a ferrari 550 maranello).
Probably they have been scratchbuild.
The original dimes to make the 550 and 575 wide body are owned by Jas motorposrt and produced in carbon fiber under official Ferrari license.
I saw the dimes still in their places....so I really dunno

anybody from Pimp my Ride maybe?

P.S.:The real Bad-ass of 550 gtc looks really wider btw...

Paolo your first pic shows it has a gumball sticker on the rear wing.

I'd guess the 01 numbers were only put there for th gumbal run.
Maybe thee are more pictures of it onthe gumbal websites ??

nep, I didnt find any pic.

Just curious to see how can a guy be SO nut to touch that way a car still very very expensive and nice as the 550 maranello is.

...otherwise in Gumball they also use violence to Enzos and SLR...
