Default Ugliest Ferrari 360 Modena ever

sadly there is a group for this type of thing http://www.rossvw.com/harlequin/.
The F360 is real by the way. It was used in a Challenge series. I will try
to find more pics.

Kangaroo boy did you read my post? Its a Challenge car
(Ferrari racing series where 360s race).

It was done to stand out from the other colorful Challenge cars.

Well,Why does it look so fake hay?How come the Ferrari badge isn't straight in the middle.Why is the paint looks so distorted and pixelated?That pic doesn't look real.There was a real car of this paint job.But that pic isn't it.If so,can you find the real car racing around the track.It looks worst than the jaguar that raced in Nations cup with Supercheap Pink paint colour.

SV-Its something you see in HOT4s magazine.Where people send pic of cars with oversize Mags,Werid paint jobs on a standard looking car with a plain back ground..I can't except it.Why would you want to distroy a Ferarri???

I can tell you exactly why:

Because you want to stand out in a pack of wonderful cars that all look
the same. If you are red or yellow, you look just like the other 360s. If
you are multi-spew color then you stand out, and attract sponsorship
much easier.

If you are loosing the race, the camera is still on you because you are so
outrageous. From a business perspective Its good marketing.

I knew that..^^^^ 8) In my opinion,I don't like it,And I guess it worked for them.In the same respected,I'm kinda doing the samething,by placing Ca18det into a MGB....Something different to create attention plus to pick up the chicks. 8) But there will be people saying that you wrecked a classic etc.

I'm pretty sure this is a fake. look at this:


looks familiar? note that the background is the same in both pics.

that is one of the first pics of the 360 Challange Stradale.
