Not too disimilar to the corvette rotary engined prototype car

 

Thats one of the uglyest things i've seen!!

Shame it does not look like crockets car on miami vice, for that price i would have had it!

I'd drive it, the styling is so old, you'd have to be pretty up on your cars to tell what the hell it is or was supposed to be.

I must confess I once owned a TR7. It had a Dolomite Sprint engine though :D

what a pigs breakfast ...........and he has the bad tatse to put ferrari badges on it also

for the money he spent on that he could have picked up a real ferrari ( ok not a good one ) but at least not a copy of one .........

 

 

nearly as bad as the zedrarri .............i feel bile rising ...got to go

that look nothing like a daytona what a plank

I disagree it is lacking the front 1/4 windows and has a power buldge not fitted to the daytona .........but otherwise pretty good copy on the outside anyway.

On television in the 80's and a defining programme of the eighties, was probably the best known Daytona Spyder and it wasn't one at all.

In the first series of Miami Vice which was a massively successful tv show starring Don Johnson as Sonny Burnett, who spent his time chasing drug dealers and murderers all over Miami in a midnight black one with the wind blowing through his hair etc. Ferrari having, I assume, refused to supply a real car for the first series.He lived on a yacht with a pet alligator!

The only catch was it was an American McBurnie replica built on a Chevrolet Corvette chassis. Unlike the original car it had no quarterlights and had conventional door handles. The doors are longer than the real Daytona's too. It still looked a real eyeful though!

The American public were mystified initially by the car, so few genuine Daytona Spyder cars were made and only just over 80 ever got to the US. Many believed it was a special Corvette and, ironically, they were absolutely correct!
