This “Bespoke” Ferrari Mondial Raises More Questions Than Eyebrows

  • The Ferrari EB-Million is a unique take on the Mondial T that appeared for sale on eBay.
  • The custom bodywork is made of steel, and the interior has been converted to a two-seater.
  • The sports car retains its stock underpinnings, including the mid-mounted Ferrari V8.

When you think of a coachbuilt Ferrari, Italian companies like Touring Superleggera or Zagato likely come to mind. However, this is not the case with the Ferrari EB-Million, a rather uniquely modified example of the Ferrari Mondial T which is currently up for grabs on eBay.

At first glance, the model resembles one of the Fiero-based supercar replicas we’ve seen over the years, but it actually features genuine Ferrari underpinnings. The bodywork is entirely custom and crafted from steel. In fact, the only exterior components carried over from the Mondial T are the front glass, the A-pillars, and the side windows.

The designer aimed to integrate exotic styling cues into the mid-engined layout, though the execution could have been better. At the front, noticeable features include TVR-style headlights on bulging fenders, a vented hood with prominent shut lines, and a sharp nose.

The tail is even harder to digest, looking like a cheap and ill-proportioned copy of the Pagani Zonda. The donor car’s rear greenhouse section has been removed, creating a longer rear deck adorned with a gaudy spoiler adorned with Ferrari decals (at least until Maranello’s lawyers catch wind of its existence).

The beefy fenders, decorated with red decals, dwarf the alloy wheels, making them appear small. The roof-mounted intake likely serves to cool the engine but could benefit from a redesign. The same critique applies to the diffuser, dual tailpipes, and rear mesh, which resemble components from a toy car. Inside, the donor Ferrari’s 2+2 seating arrangement has been replaced with a two-seater cabin bathed in vibrant yellow upholstery.

The EB-Million retains the stock mid-mounted 3.4-liter V8 engine of the Ferrari Mondial T, producing a respectable 296 hp (221 kW / 300 PS) and 324 Nm (239 lb-ft) of torque. According to the listing, the engine and the transmission have been overhauled, so we expect them to be in good working order.

The seller admits that the vehicle is polarizing, adding that it is destined for the “individualists”. As for the “average person who likes standard simplicity”, they are prompted to move on, and keep looking for cars that “they like and can afford”.

The only Ferrari EB-Million in the world is located in Reche, Germany, and could be yours for an eye-watering price of €122,500 ($130,820). This is quite shocking if you consider that prices for genuine examples of the Ferrari Mondial currently range between €45,000-95,000 ($48,000-101,500) in Europe.

For the record, the highest price for this particular model in recent years was achieved by a 1992 Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet, that fetched $140,000 on a Bring a Trailer auction in August 2023.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i

Denver Driver’s Sidewalk Shortcut To Clear Construction Turns Into Destruction Derby

Image
I’m sure we all know what it feels like to make a bad decision that leads to an even worse decision, only to later realize that we should have just cut our losses at the beginning. But I bet very few of us have likely experienced that nightmarish feeling on quite as large and destructive a scale as one driver in Denver, Colorado, recently did. In an incident that appears to have taken place on Champa St., in the city’s central business district, the driver of a Chrysler 300 found themselves on a sidewalk, next to the street, which was under construction. Video of the incident was captured by a pedestrian, and posted to Reddit . Unfortunately, we don’t know how this all started, as the footage starts in media res , with the Chrysler already deep into the construction zone, trying to force its way through. advertisement scroll to continue Read: If You Don’t Crash A Ford Mustang At First, Try Again And You Shall Succeed Video Reddit On an apparent walkway for pedestrians,

The 2024 BMW 5-Series Touring Can’t Come Soon Enough, Here’s What It May Look Like

Image
This story contains independent renderings that are neither related to nor endorsed by BMW. BMW recently launched the 2024 5-Series in ICE and all-electric i5 guises, but it has not yet unveiled the car in Touring form. While we don’t have a date as to when this new version will be showcased to the world, a rendering artist by the name of Theottle has also imagined how such a car could look. The process of turning the new 5-Series sedan into an estate on Photoshop is relatively easy. To do so, Theottle started out with the roof from the current 3-Series Touring and pasted it onto the 5-Series. As standard, the roof of the 3-Series Touring suits the new 5-Series quite well but some alterations had to be made to ensure everything was perfect. For example, the artist tweaked the profile of the roof to better match the 5-Series while also painting it in the same shade of red that the sedan was presented in last week. The chrome side window surrounds of the 3-Series Touring have also
