Two members of an Italian rally team found a little spare time from their busy schedule to build a car for their own amusement. Finding a Ferrari F355 at a particularly attractive price, they decided to purchase the vehicle and when the saw a 3498 Citroen 2CV van, they knew exactly what to do with the Ferrari's components. The Citroen van was battered, rusty and missing its engine and transmission so the enterprising pair set about installing the Ferrari's somewhat more powerful turbocharged V8 engine and transmission. The van also benefited from the Ferrari's suspension, brakes, wheels and interior fittings, as well as receiving a somewhat stiffened structure. The result, painted bright red and sporting a Ferrari badge, is capable of 0-100km/h in 5 seconds and has a top speed estimated to be around 280km/h. Given that the original engine delivered a mere 20kW, the performance of the current 284kW engine provides more than a mere upgrade.
