The Ultimate(?) fake
A fake 1967 Ferrari P4 created at a Thailand back street factory. Reported by BBC here is the link to the news article:

I don't think a P4 with a Subaru motor would go very far towards fooling anyone.

That fight against fakes in this case is ridiculous. I agree, it's not like they reproduced an actual Ferrari engine.

You'd know it was a fake Ferrari after looking at the first few months' maintenance receipts. If they don't equal or exceed the weight of the car, you obviously bought a bogus one.
Same rule can be applied to virtually any British car and possibly Maseratis.
