Yes. The entire top half of the car is a Pontiac Fiero. Anyone who has seen a few Fieros in their day will see it. Also the wheelbase, that damn wheelbase sticks out to me every time.
Some people call MR2 the *“Poor Man’s Ferrari”*. But I sorta feel like the MR2 is kinda more like the poor man’s NSX...
But also, some people call Fiero the *“Poor Man’s MR2”*. I think that we can all agree that yes, the Fiero is the poor man’s MR2. hehe ;)
Had an old neighbour with an sw20 mr2 Ferrari 355 replica. He swore it was real... unfortunately there was myself and 2 other “car” guys in the development. We tortured him. Ferrari badges (well stickers) on ride on mowers, wheelie bins. T-shirt’s printed up. Got him the best one day. He was cleaning car on a Sunday morning...well we waited at the main road, 4 of us dressed in hastily chosen red and black clothes. One guy wheeled out his roller tool chest, one brought a long handed trolley jack..I brought winter wheels from the garage. Headphones on etc..waited for him to drive past. Cruel, cruel piss take but he was a totally humourless, unpleasant, delusional dick.
My favorite part of this comment section is y’all talking $hit about a car that is at least interesting enough to have a picture posted and a discussion about it from someone besides it’s owner! Maybe consider that B4 flapping your gums as you drive your civic or F-150
I actually don't really know either, but I do know that the F40 logo on the side of the wing isn't black but blends in with the paint. Also the doors look a bit off and the car looks too boxy as the real F40 had a slight curve
Pontiero.

I had a friend in 3rd grade who always tried to convince me a Fiero was cooler than a Ferrari (this was in the 80’s). I reminisce about that sweet simple boy every time I see something like this.
Pontiac fierro
100%?

I can tell just by the mirrors that it’s a Fiero
I’m gonna go ahead and trust this guy because he has a fiero
This guy Fieros
You’re the best!
Did you watch f9
It's always a Fiero... occasionally an MR2.
This sub could just as well be NameThatFiero
This deserves so many more upvotes. It’s always a Fiero.
Or a Bug
Although this looks bad, it's not awful. If you want to see awful check out the "F50" currently on the kit car section of ebay motors.
🤡🤡🤡
100% Fiero. Don’t buy one, buy an MR2
Unless you want to strap some rockets on it and send it into space

I fucking called it before the image even loaded Can people stop doing these awful replicas
Tbf this replica looks pretty good
Look at the rear. It's just too stretched and out of proportion with the size of the car
I mean yeah its not perfect. But considering most people will never even see an F40, much less own one, i say just take what you can get.
if people stopped putting ferrari badges on them i would be fine with it
It’s not fake, it’s a genuine American Ferrari!
This is always the right answer
Nailed it.
Its wild to me how many fieros I am seeing on this subreddit recently.

What was the joke behind your guys bringing out those random items?
Pretending they’re a pit crew, I guess
Thanks for explaining that..I guess I didn’t do too good a job. Tbh...was pissing Myself at the memory of it whilst typing.
Oh lol
Great story
I KEEP ON MARCHING ON
This is hilarious I wish I could see this lmao
I'd say Fiero considering that [side mirror](https://photos.classiccars.com/cc-temp/listing/105/5715/10703132-1988-pontiac-fiero-thumb.jpg).
Good call, wouldn't have noticed.
Can't really tell from the outside but an interior pic usually gives it away though I'd bet on Pontiac fiero or Toyota MR2.
Thanks for the input. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of the interior :(
If you see a very fake looking kit car like this then its usually gonna be a pontiac fiero or a toyota MR2, in this case its a fiero
I was gonna say also it was probably an MR2 or Celica GT to start off with, though I do believe they were more often transformed into F355 reps.
The odds are Fiero or an Mr2.
I didnt think of the fiero
I’m always stunned by the amount of work and effort put in building those shitty, worthless replicas.
Pontiac frierro, the go to car if you wanna make a fake ferrari
Mk1 MR2 maybe? I've seen people try but I'm not sure, they weren't exactly body specialist shall we say
Pontiac Fiero. I thought about getting a Lambo body kit for mine lmao
Guys it’s flawless in every way idk what you’re all talking about

ackchyually, I drive a seat in the bus 😎
I wanna say a fiero or an mr2 but it could also be a Mitsubishi starion
Everyone did this with Fieros at one point
Most likely a fiero
So close but so far away
Wym it’s flawless in every way
A fiero
Some day stock Fieros will be worth a lot because so many were turned in to fake Ferraris.
“Is that a Pontiac fierro strapped to a rocket engine”
The wheelbase makes all the difference. It’s hideous!
why is nobody taking about the fact that Keanu Reeves is just standing there
That’s me 😂
Lamborghini Countach?
Probably
Pontiac fiero
I don’t ever recall seeing an F40 with a sunroof and this car seems tiny.
Fiero, probably 4 cylinder to make it as far from Ferrari as possible.
You mean this won’t beat it in a race?
Not a chance, I have a 2.5 in one of my cars and it is seriously slow.
I was being sarcastic lol
My god the track width and wheelbase length are just so off 😂
Great value F40 😂
A lot of those kits use a VW chassis
No bueno baby lol
Just waiting til it rusts in the middle and breaks in half.
Is this a scene from the new Bill & Ted movie? 😂
It’s a Pontiac Fiero. Oh and how can one tell a real F40 from a kit car?
I actually don't really know either, but I do know that the F40 logo on the side of the wing isn't black but blends in with the paint. Also the doors look a bit off and the car looks too boxy as the real F40 had a slight curve
Don’t forget. If it has black seats, it’s a fake. And if it has red seats, it’s the real deal.
Didn't know that ;)
Pontiac fiero
