Faust Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 You know, there are a lot of kits of weird cars out there, and those are the ones I like best. Sure, there are more stylish cars, but I like the things off the beaten path, so to speak. That’s why, if you told me I’d buy a Ferrari kit, I’d have laughed. Well, look who’s laughing now! Check out my out of box review for the absolutely bizarre the Ferrari 308 GT Rainbow!. This is really proof that the 70’s were just really all about bad ideas.

Edsel-Dan Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I have that one. Curbside kit to say the least!! Looks like it may also have been designed for motor, and maybe headlights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Fascinating...I'd seen pics of the 1:1, didn't know it was kitted. The kit seems to be inaccurate as far as some details like the side windows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porscheman Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It looks like a Fiat X19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-Machine Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I think I just threw up a little in my mouth! The styling is positively wretched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Looks like something I drew in the 4th grade, only worse. Cool review though - I appreciate the style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Looks a bit like a Lotus Esprit done exactly wrong. I see a bit of the Fiat too, only it works on the Fiat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Fascinating...I'd seen pics of the 1:1, didn't know it was kitted. The kit seems to be inaccurate as far as some details like the side windows... The proportions of the body seem way off on the kit. The original is a striking, if not especially pretty, example of 70s Italian design. The kit doesn't do it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Wrench Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 That is one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. Anyone that would do that to a Ferrari would drink their own bath water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58 Impala Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Does look like an X19...on some really bad steroids. Wait,Fiat owns Ferrari don't they? If so they should have kept their designers out of the studio. Edited April 29, 2013 by 58 Impala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Look at the car again and then think Death Race/Post Apoc, and suddenly the build possibilities open up. I would build this in a NY minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Man, now that's some great reaction! I see what you mean, jaymcminn about the proportionning. It is a bit off, and the MPC if far fuglier than the real thing. Of course, that's not saying much, since, the real think is some kind of cruel joke. I think it looks like a weird shoe mated with a doorstopper, myself. Your'e right about the Death Race idea, Jantrix; as I said in my review, it would make an awesome flying car, too.

IMSANUT Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Looks a bit like a Lotus Esprit done exactly wrong. I see a bit of the Fiat too, only it works on the Fiat. Spot on on both comments! A truly awful styling exercise. There is one of these kits on evilbay now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
