Don’t jump on your seats yet, it’s a replica... A Beck replica exactly, but a pretty damn nice one! 600kg or so for 70hp. Looks like tons of fun... I hope to drive it!

Decent looking replica, though that interior may need to be finished up a bit.

Nice! There used to be a guy around here who ran around town all the time in a similar replica. Very cool!

I was really surprised by the quality of the build... Everything is custom made and fits REALLY perfectly... Slam the door and it will make that noise of well built cars. I mean, my car doesn’t make that noise :(

Looks like fantastic fun. A local automotive/motorcycle museum has a replica one of these as well. It sounds amazing.

That’s great. You can drive a replica. If you could afford a real one you’d want a rolling barricade / motorcade to go with you. And every time you took it out you’d probably be devaluing it about $1,000.

Just tell him to be careful.

Considering how expensive real 550 Spyder cost and go up in value, it’s a much better investment than a replica. That’s if you have 3.5 million $$ to invest really lol.

I did the James Dean joke already don’t worry :)

The 356 Replicas I've seen so far are incredible. I saw one recently and for a moment I thought it was real. It was pristine. I appreciate these replicas, because I find them to be unlike those that you use a Fiero to chop up into a 355. Totally different thing IMO.
