Built on the chassis of a second-gen Audi TT, this €14,999 ($17,300) Ferrari F40 knockoff parked on France’s Facebook Marketplace boldly mimics Maranello’s sacred icon with a blend of audacity and goofiness.
The starting point? A 2010 Audi TT, a far cry from the usual Pontiac Fiero base for F40 clones. Its 3.2-liter V6, dishing out 247 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, teams with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive—a solid setup for a sporty coupe but nowhere near the F40’s rear-drive, twin-turbo V8 fire. The builder kept the TT’s windows, pillars, roof, doors, mirrors, and fuel cap, then wrapped it in a custom bodykit that stretches the car into a longer, wider shape. The outcome? A profile that attempts to copy the F40’s classic lines but looks like a toy car puffed up to life size.

Visually, the T32 makes a bold stab at echoing Ferrari’s legend. The front bumper and headlights mimic the F40’s sharp edges, though don’t hold your breath for those pop-up lights to function. A hood bulge, framed by NACA ducts, nods to the V6 up front—unlike the real F40’s mid-engine heart. The rear comes closer to the original’s vibe, with a design hinting at the F40’s broad hips, even if it misses the V8 to back it up. Parked beside a legit Ferrari 488 Spider, the T32 holds its own from a distance, but the magic fades under a close look. It’s a daring disguise, convincing from afar but transparent up close.
Inside, the T32 probably sticks with the Audi TT’s original cabin, featuring a 2+2 seating setup that’s more practical than the real F40’s bare-bones interior. That extra back seat is a quirky bonus, though good luck squeezing into the trunk with all that added bodywork in the way. No interior pics popped up in the listing, likely meaning the dash, seats, and controls shout Audi louder than Ferrari.
On performance, the T32 can’t touch the F40’s blazing legacy. The real F40, powered by a 471-horsepower twin-turbo V8, blasted from 0 mph to 60 mph in under four seconds and topped 201 mph. The T32’s V6, peppy for an Audi TT, falls way short, and its front-engine, all-wheel-drive setup lacks the rear-drive spirit that defined the Italian supercar.
What cements the T32’s spot among quirky replicas is its affordability. Real F40s now command millions—$3.5 million for a pristine U.S. model, per recent sales. The T32, at a sliver of that cost, offers a taste of the fantasy for those okay with a little fakery.
