To come across a Ferrari F40<\/a> Finding just one abandoned car by the side of the road would already be an extraordinary discovery. So what about two? Yet that\u2019s the lead the Spanish YouTuber decided to follow Georgesmithgood<\/em> after receiving mysterious location tips from his followers. In the images available via Google Maps, the silhouettes seem intriguing enough to make him want to go check them out in person. His journey would take him hundreds of kilometers, from Portugal to the Alicante region. But the hunt for Ferraris would quickly take a very different turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first F40s abandoned near Portugal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first lead takes Georgesmithgood to a remote area near the Portuguese border. Amid several cars abandoned on a piece of land, he finds the silhouette he had seen in the images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gigantic spoiler, red bodywork, and proportions inspired by the legendary Italian supercar: from a very, very long way off, the illusion might work. Up close, no way. The YouTuber quickly realizes he\u2019s not standing in front of a real Ferrari F40. He identifies it as a replica and surmises\u2014particularly by looking at the dashboard\u2014that it\u2019s likely based on a Pontiac Fiero. The disappointment could have ended the story right there. But a second location awaits him, more than 700 kilometers away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second \u00abFerrari\u00bb: for sale for \u20ac35,000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After just a few hours of sleep, we headed to Alicante. This time, the car was hidden under a tarp near a house. And certain details were enough to keep the suspense going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car is definitely there. However, its exhaust pipes immediately arouse the YouTuber\u2019s suspicion\u2014he\u2019s already considering the possibility that it\u2019s another replica (though we weren\u2019t surprised, given those exhaust pipes\u2026). The owner finally agrees to show him the car. When the tarp comes off, the verdict is clear: this second \u00abF40\u00bb is also a replica based on a Pontiac Fiero (again!). According to the documents and the license plate, it appears to be from France. Its owner even seems willing to sell it. Asking price: around 35,000 euros. Given its condition, it\u2019s more like 3,500 euros\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Ferrari, but a wonderful encounter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The story could have been summed up as two fake Ferraris and several hundred kilometers traveled for nothing. However, while waiting to examine the second car, Georgesmithgood<\/em> Meet Tino, an enthusiast who works out of a workshop filled with vehicles that are, to say the least, unusual. Replicas, vintage limousines, Rolls-Royces, Alfa Romeos, and handcrafted creations are piled high throughout the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the two Ferrari F40s spotted on Google Maps weren\u2019t the treasures he\u2019d been hoping for. But in his quest to find two abandoned examples of one of the most legendary Ferraris in history, Georgesmithgood stumbled upon something that no satellite image could really hint at: a whole little world of collectors, replicas, and other unlikely cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
