i've got a really weird feeling one of them is a toy model.

just some of the photo's look very odd, hence my previous comment about the 2 cars being different, loads of subtle differences

i still think one looks like a model car, not sure if it is, just certain things dont add up, 1 being the rear suspension (there isnt any)

i'd agree with that. If i were to own one, i'd never drive it cos of how much it cost and the fact that here in southend i'd have every chav around trying to race against it. To me it's not the best looking car in the world, but everyone has different taste ! i prefer the front of the F50 - would be awesome if the did an F50 front with an F40 rear

I prefer the 360 and 430, or the much much older cars. To me the styling on the lotus esprit was better than the f40, but the f40 is 100 times the car.

Good cars but not ever going to be on my must own list.
