In the listing, the owner of the Ferrari F430 replica mentions that the car is a two-door one but can seat four people. Originally, it was built as a show car; it is rented out for weddings and special events.

According to the owner, the vehicle earns Rs 25,000 per rental, and he also added that the reason why this vehicle is being sold is that his family is shifting to the United States of America. As per the report, the owner had put out the car for sale on Facebook Marketplace with an asking price of Rs 10 lakh.

A look at the current condition of the car


The images of the car show that the vehicle looks to be in decent condition. The overall design of this car is inspired by the Ferrari 430, closely resembling the original. However, like many affordable replicas, its proportions aren't exact, making it look noticeably smaller than the real vehicle.

At the front, it features projector headlights with the blue LED daytime running lights. At the rear, the car is equipped with quad-barrel taillights, a sporty rear bumper, and a large rear windscreen that looks like Ferrari's engine bay view.

Note: Since this replica is actually based on a 2003 Corolla, it doesn't have a rear engine; instead, the rear window reveals the parcel tray.

This Ferrari F430 replica is powered by a 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 125 bhp and 158 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
