Renamed as ‘Havoc’, this awe-inspiring Monster Truck had its origins as ‘Nasty Habits’ in the USA, originally crafted as a Mud Truck in Washington State. After a successful stint in competitions, it underwent a thrilling transformation from a Mud Truck to a Monster Truck, securing victories in the esteemed ‘Monster Jam’ event on multiple occasions. Throughout its journey, ‘Nasty Habits’ underwent various body modifications, chronicled and well-documented online. After being retired in 2010, the vendor acquired the legendary vehicle in late 2015 from Washington, USA, and meticulously transported it to the current location in disassembled form.
Subsequently, a meticulous restoration endeavor commenced, lasting 14 months, involving a comprehensive refurbishment down to the last bolt. Drawing insights from the previous owner, the restoration process integrated valuable guidance. Notably, a robust Chevrolet 7.4-liter Big Block engine from Tim Adams Racing Engines was skillfully installed. The reconstructed ‘Havoc’ was specifically tailored to provide thrilling ride experiences and driving adventures, while also serving as a dependable backup truck, albeit never required to assume that role. Fastidious maintenance has been faithfully carried out on ‘Havoc’, with its event appearances limited to just four occasions: twice at the Santa Pod Monster Truck Nationals, an exhibition at the NEC, and an appearance at an agricultural show.
Capable of accommodating up to eight passengers, ‘Havoc’ is more than eager to unleash its power and endurance, capable of delivering exhilarating performances throughout the day.
What you see before you isn’t a computer glitch — it’s an actual Ferrari limo that’s actually for sale in Australia.
The unique ride is being sold by limousine-rental outfit Exotic Limo, which is betting that someone out there is willing to fork over roughly US $287,000 for it.
The stretched-out Ferrari started its life as a run-of-the-mill 2003 360 Modena, before being imported to Australia by a man named Scott Marshall.
Marshall used an air hacksaw to cut it in half, according to a 2018 interview with Street Machine.
Marshall then added aluminum chassis extensions to elongate the Prancing Horse by three meters.
The limo’s new midsection and gull-wing doors were constructed from fiberglass to save weight.
Still, the new 10-seater ended up around 2,400 pounds — or one Mazda Miata — heavier than the original.
It retained its 400-horsepower V8, but its manual gearbox was swapped for an automatic out of a Subaru Legacy GT.
According to Marshall, it “sounds like a Ferrari and goes like a Ferrari — but not as fast.”
The car sits on air-ride suspension for a cushier ride and to make sure it doesn’t bottom out on speed bumps.
In the back, there’s leather seating for eight …
… a light-up minibar …
… two TVs, and a sound system.
Up front, there’s room for the driver and one other lonely guest.
The limo only has around 40,000 miles on the clock. And, unlike a non-limo Ferrari, you can be pretty sure it wasn’t thrashed around canyon roads or taken to its limits. We hope.
It could be a solid buy for those interested in supercar looks and school-bus practicality, but this gaudy machine is probably best suited for proms and wedding parties.
The Ferrari limo currently rents for $1,000 AUD per hour, and up to $5,000 AUD for a wedding — so it may be a solid business proposition.
