Warning: Anyone who considers themselves an automotive purist might want to hit the back button at the top left of the screen before you become irate with what you’re about to see. I’m not even going to try and defend it, because this 1991 Ferrari 348 TS is absolutely nuts.

Ginpei Yamaguchi is the man behind this one-of-a-kind onikyan-style 348, and over the past couple of days I’ve been able to spend some time with him in Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan’s main islands.
My mission, to figure out why on earth anyone would dare to take a Pininfarina-designed stallion and modify it in such a controversial way.

For as long as Ginpei-san can remember, he has loved three things in the automotive world: drifting, stance and classic cars. As his company Slacker’s Haunt has grown, it’s allowed him to indulge in these three loves, and over the years he’s purchased a fleet of Silvias, JZXs, Supras, air-cooled 911s and even a couple of 1600 GTs. However, the one car that always eluded him was a Ferrari.

Plenty more pics, words and some video at the link.

Now I've seen it all. Can I have that 30 seconds back and try again?

Is it wrong that the part that bothers me the most is that the front lip doesn't sit parallel to the ground?

Ironically, a stock feature of the 348, as I recall.

Across the front, the drop off is from the crowning of the road in the pic above.

If it's the fore/aft that bugs you,...what Nick said?

(obviously not the same lip, but still)

Ah ok, I guess I'll cross that Ferrari off the list then. That's annoying.
