A guy in California bought a fake Ferrari, he calls it the Faux-rari, and took it on a road trip across the United States.
The car looks great, and looks (almost) like a real Ferrari.
It drives well, too.
Too bad the trip ended with a police stop, though.

Road trip to California across the US cut short by police
The car featured in a YouTube video shared by effspot, real name Gordon Cheng, a YouTuber and photographer with a heavy focus on supercars.
The idea was to buy a fake Ferrari for $25,000, and drive it across the United States for about 2,500 miles.
The trip started in Cleveland, Ohio, where Anthony, another YouTuber, picked up the fake Ferrari.
The idea was to drive all the way to California, with stops in Utah and Nevada.
Unfortunately, the road trip, and therefore the video, was cut short by the police.
The fake Ferrari/Faux-rari looks vaguely convincing
These days you can buy fake vehicles that look almost as good as the real thing.
Somebody built a Pagani Huayra, for example, that looks like a slightly scaled-down version of the real car.
Then again some fake cars look a bit tragic.
The fake Range Rover we bought, tested, and drag raced against a real Range Rover, for example, looks fairly terrible right next to the original product.
That’s far from the case with this fake Ferrari, though.
It wouldn’t have fooled Enzo Ferrari himself but it looks okay, even though it uses a Toyota engine and it is based on a Toyota Celica, which is significantly smaller than a Ferrari 430.
It certainly looks more convincing than our fake Range Rover, that’s for sure – it’s not setting the bar very high.
Maybe.
