Yahoo Autos Ferrari F40 with Liberty Walk widebody kit slinks through Tokyo
The prolific Japanese customizer Liberty Walk's latest creation is a wildly modified Ferrari F40. The dramatically lowered and widened supercar will undoubtedly be considered heresy for Ferrari purists, but the car is undeniably staggering.
Liberty Walk has been customizing cars for decades, and each year the base cars get increasingly outrageous. It was all good and fun when founder Wataru Kato was slicing up modern Nissan GT-Rs and Lamborghini Murcielagos. No one really shed a tear about the numerous Mustangs, BMWs, or 360 and F430 Ferraris. The Mitsuoka Orochi was actually an improvement.
But the Ferrari F40 is a bona fide classic. It's one of the most beloved cars on the planet and it's rare too, with just a hair over 1,300 ever to roll out of Maranello. And no, this isn't some kind of kit car trickery like when they displayed a jaw-dropping Lamborghini Miura at the Tokyo Auto Salon, later revealed to be a reskinned Ford GT40 replica. Kato has had a white Ferrari F40 kicking around his garage for at least a decade plus.
