Forbidden Fruit Fridays

Ferraris can be tough to pull off. Ferrari tributes? The Fiero conversions are beyond reproach. But, how do we feel when things get closer to home? Last week, we saw an Alfa Romeo Milano Verde with a "Friends of Ferrari" plaque on the dashboard, and it just seemed excessive. Today's Abarth 695 Tribute Ferrari? It's a lot if you own a Ferrari, and it's a lot if you don't.

Vendesi Tributo Ferrari Limited Edition nuova con 2700 Km. Particolarità: N. 1 numero di differenza targa con quella regalata ad Alfonsoin occasione del GP di Monza N. Edizione Limitata 112 ( Sinonimo di Abarth)

In any case, it's a hotted-up Abarth sporting 50 horsepower over the standard European offering. Historically speaking, it shares nothing with a Ferrari. And yet...the driving experience would likely align well with what most people would expect of a Ferrari.
