Man compares $25,000 fake Ferrari to real $300,000 vehicle and there's some crazy differences

Some fakes are convincing enough, but you might want to think twice before opting for a faux Ferrari - even it it does come it at just 8% of the price compared to the real thing.

Knock offs are incredibly popular for a reason - they provide you with a near-identical product for a fraction of the price, letting you save money while maintaining the image and status of the real deal.

They're all over the fashion market - especially when it comes to handbags and watches - yet I doubt many would think to opt for a 'fake' Ferrari.

If you do have that in mind though, and are thinking of taking the plunge, then you might want to watch this YouTube video as the differences are a bit more obvious than you'd initially expect.

YouTuber 'anthonyunofficial', who specializes in the world of fake Ferraris, has compared a $300,000 real vehicle with a measly $25,000 'fake' Ferrari, and the comparison doesn't look too favorably for the latter.

One of the immediate differences that Anthony points out is the headlights, which he claims "definitely miss the mark" when placed right next to the proper sportscar. The more 'teardrop'-like design of the actual version is instantly recognizable compared to the inauthentic fake.

Much like the headlights, the mirrors are also an instant giveaway, as the fake Ferrari's are more like what you'd see on a cheaper car whereas the real thing has the sleekness that you'd expect from a vehicle that costs as much as a house.

Another rather embarrassing difference lies in the badge at the bottom of the bumper. On the real thing it's a fully metal design that's incorporated into the hood, whereas the fake one boasts just a sticker that could be torn off at any moment - rather embarrassing.

The same is also true for the side logos behind the front headlights, as that also features a sticker design on the fake.

Some subtle differences make it difficult for anyone but an expert to spot, like the placement of the door handle and the side window designs, but it gets pretty obvious when the fake has a sunroof but the real thing doesn't.

It's surprising how close the 'Fauxrarri' can get to the real thing, as Anthony claims the wheels "at a glance" are almost identical between the two cars - and the same is true for the mesh.

Unfortunately there are also some aspects that are probably not road legal, including the rear brake lights, so you might want to think twice before settling for a cheaper copy and save up for the real thing in the future.
