Modified Ferrari

The world's fastest limousine - a 170mph stretch Ferrari - is facing the chop after the supercar maker threatened legal action - for infringing its trademark.

Stunned owner Dan Cawley has been ordered to remove all badges from the 20ft-long, 400bhp limo and told never to modify a Ferrari again.

Lawyers claim that since he cut the 360 Modena in half and stretched it with a 9.5ft section of hand-built carbon fibre, it is no longer a Ferrari.

The funny thing is that if you want to buy into the top end of Ferraris scale you have to have owned some lower models and prove your worth before you can own one.
Its not just a fat cheque book.
One of Micheal Schumakers ex f1 cars was for sale and the new buyers needed to be top end Ferrari owners, have a fat cheque book, sign a contract to protect the technology, send his own techs for training, make the car avaliable for public shows and pass an interview to prove their worth.

This guys just screwed all their rules.
Good on him, their not the quickest of things as everyone is led to belive.

That might be for many rather tasteless to turn a first class sports car into a limo.
This totally wrecks the image of a Ferrari.
Of course he can't sell it badged as Ferrari anymore unless they approve.
He shouldn't even be able to market it under any name without the Ferrari's permisssion.
