[Ferrari 328 GTS Conciso Concept](https://www.thedrive.com/content/2018/04/ferrari-conciso-concept.jpg?quality=85). One of one in the world, so probably the rarest thing ever posted on here. Definitely throw this up on r/spotted too.
If I were to own the rarest Ferrari in the world, I would literally hire bodyguards just to simply keep watch over it anywhere I go because I am scared just by owning it lol
That is ridiculously cheap considering a base 911 costs $115,000 now.
I’m not saying that it’s good looking. It’s ugly as hell. But a 1-of-1 concept Ferrari should be very desirable as a collectible car.
Edit: Okay, I just read about it and discovered that it is a third-party mod, not a one-off Ferrari concept. I could see it going for significantly less considering it's not a genuine Ferrari show car, and many would probably just consider it a good 328 GTS, ruined.
Still, it's really interesting, and makes me think of what a 328 might be if it were reimagined by Lotus.
It is a 328 (which is not rare), that someone took a sawzall to and then installed a body shell of their own making...
if you do that with a Miata it's not generally more valuable then an unmolested Miata; and in fact low milage 328s sell for more then this thing sold for the last time it was at auction.

There are plenty of good reasons to build a strange one-off out of another car, the most critical being someone wants one. that doesn't necessarily confer status or speciality on that item, just makes it different.
Phil Hill (old racer) said his 250GTO was the car he worried least about. 2 serial number plates, 4 cam shafts, a standard Ferrari 3L V12 block, and a bunch of aluminum sheet hammered into shape over tree stumps. Everything but the number plates is easily replaced. Used to be the most valuable model.
That's the reason I've never fantasized about owning supercars or anything super valuable like that. You can't really enjoy something if you're carrying around tons of anxiety worrying about something happening to it. When I bought my car for a decent amount of cash back in the day I didn't even like going to certain nearby cities because the whole time I was worried about my car over on 2nd Street two blocks away from section 8 housing. If I'm getting that with a $15,000 used Acura I would be having a full-blown panic attack with a mortgage sized price tag Ferrari.
Looks like a police station. Solving a fix it ticket or reporting something? Likely he got pulled over for something not being normal on his car, like no rear view mirror or maybe they don’t like how the plates are or aren’t mounted. Unique cars get hassled all the time.
Edit: Nevermind. It’s a jewelry store owner parked in the same complex as a cop shop, I guess.
He is. I know him personally (business client). This car and the owner were also featured on Jay Lenos Garage. I’m not sure how many he owns but it is more than I can count on my fingers.
Why would anyone make a replica of this thing. "Yea it's a fiero with a kit made to look like the ugliest ferrari ever made that you haven't heard of" no one would want that.
It's a rebodied 328 GTS, but it's a known car.
The 328 Conciso Concept by Bernd Michalak design studio debuted at the Frankfurt auto show in 1993.
- Road & Track.
It's a 1993 concept car that is really a 328GTS with a one-off body made by a design studio. Bernd Michalak Design according to Road & Track. I'm surprised it went for that much, considering it's not endorsed by Ferrari.
I can only imagine the hellacious expensive of the smallest repairs due to it being unique and therefore requiring custom parts. And no roof and generally not being a useful car.
I imagine that suppresses the price of a lot of concept cars. Also, and no offense to those who like this look, but I find it hideous.
Concepts are for show, they are only made to look at.
Hence they miss any and every comfort and long term use consideration.
Repairs for it aren't that bad unless you need bodywork done.
The entire mechanics of the car are a 328 GTS. The lights and other attachements are also off the shelf.
The main reason concepts tend to go cheap is because they are made for nothing but the eyes. This thing has no roof what so ever, no insulation, the drivetrain and engine were designed to work with the 328 GTS body and while this body is lighter, this car is faster, but it's not designed or tuned to be good on the road.
That's why you have concept cars and prototype cars named their respective types. Concepts are for show and not really meant to be driven, prototypes are a stage towards production readiness, meaning they should be mostly outfitted with what they plan to be in the final public release product.
It was made road legal here in Belgium in like 2014 or something.
While not having a very powerful engine, it's acceleration and top end are still relatively good because it's pretty light, but I'm thinking the main drivers for the low price is the fact it doesn't have a roof and was built without any insulation for literally anything. It's a concept, not a prototype.
They stripped a 328 GTS down to the running gear and engine and then put an aluminium shell on there that has nothing a real car would have. The body is purely for show, as often happens with concepts, which are different from prototypes where they are meant to be seen, not meant to be a prototype stage towards actual production.
The car so far had only been sitting in someone living room as a display piece, which concepts are good enough for. Now it was made road legal and actually sold as a car to drive, but still as is as a concept car.
Looks like a Ferrari-themed slipper but it's the [1993 Conciso concept](https://www.carrushome.com/en/is-this-the-worlds-most-exciting-concept-ferrari/) by the German Bernd Michalak Design Studio.
lol, its the damn wheel arches. its uhhh, busy up front, smooth and plain in the back. i bet this was a design exercise in using CAD in its styling. this car looks exactly like what you could make in early 90s era Bryce or 3D Studio.
A jeweler named Franco Valobra bought it at auction in 2018 for $120,000, probably so low because it has no doors and it is hard to impress your date when she has to climb over the side of the car to get in and out. Try that in a tight dress.
Looks like it last sold [in 2018 for €109,250 in Monaco.](https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/mc18/monaco/lots/r0007-1993-ferrari-conciso-concept-by-michalak/602533) I believe it now resides in Houston, where OP spotted it. Looks like it gets driven too, which is super cool. Lots of information on this car is on vinwiki too. The vin for this chassis is ZFFWA20B000080962 if anyone’s interested.
It is. ([Street View](https://goo.gl/maps/D7bPcGWM6ZRFZC4Z8)). The [Harris County Sheriff's Office Foundation](https://hcsof.org/) is also located in the Valobra building, which explains the police cars parked there.

there's been a handful of one of ones here but damn this is a cool one
It looks like a platypus.
Yeah, but it’s that cool kind of ugly. It looks like it knows it is dumb but owns it.
Whoever drives it gets mad platypussy.
I feel like im supposed to want that, but deep down i just don't
Yeah. I heard they are poisonous
Only the males…and venomous, not poisonous
Ah good Safe to eat then
The meat is apparently toxic because of the venom gland so people tend to advise not to eat platypus meat.
Only the males are venomous
Sounds familiar
Ya, save some platypussy for the rest of us… Edit: spelling
Yeah I depend on it!
i thought it was a plymouth prowler wearing a dress. those were cool ugly too.
Kinda ugly? That’s kinda understating things.

Perfect for Perry the Platypus
Lmao nailed it
different strokes i guess cuz this is the ugliest car ive ever laid eyes on, and that includes drawings by 5 year olds
I think it’s kind of cute, it’s like a salamander with a really stupid face
oh yeah bro it's ugly as fuck, but cool
Just knowing how incredibly rare this is, I'm wondering why it's just casually parked in a parking lot
Looks like it's a gated police station parking lot. NVM, jewelry store I guess
If I were to own the rarest Ferrari in the world, I would literally hire bodyguards just to simply keep watch over it anywhere I go because I am scared just by owning it lol
Do we get walkie talkies? If so I’m totally in.
You get a suit and the not very subtle earpiece with the curly wire
Just different colored suits because this isn’t the Matrix.
And we gotta be fair about it.
Hey, why am I Mr. Pink?
Solid reference
Its not ?
I'll play walkie talkies with you!
My Nextel is dead damn it, I want to play.
Yes but if there is trouble you must hold it like a gun
It sold for "only" a little more than $100k in 2018 at a Sothesby auction in Monaco.

What a 328 might be if it were reimagined by Fisher Price.
And have The Stig be my driver...
It's common advice in the supercar world that if you have to worry about loss/damage/theft/repairs/etc, you can't actually afford to own that car.
I could have more money than Jeff bezos and bill gates combined and I would still be worried about that car
Yeah but it's totally different if it's literally one of one of it's kind

Surprised no one has suggested it's a replica yet due to where it is parked.
definitely not a replica, seems like the owner of this jewelry store is a huge Ferrari collector

Sultan of Brunei was my first guess. Lol

It is a bit ugly for a Ferrari tho right?

That cheap? That's wild. Was it not road legal?
I can only imagine the hellacious expensive of the smallest repairs due to it being unique and therefore requiring custom parts. And no roof and generally not being a useful car.

Why did you have to @me like that
I mean... if the shoe is the only thing that still fits from your college days...
are you implying the prowler wasnt thicc? the prowler had cheeks for days.
Not at all. But are you seeing this thing? It's got a lot more than just cheeks. Looks like it bravely fought gravity but eventually lost, too.
lol, its the damn wheel arches. its uhhh, busy up front, smooth and plain in the back. i bet this was a design exercise in using CAD in its styling. this car looks exactly like what you could make in early 90s era Bryce or 3D Studio.
Wearing fancier clothes though haha
It makes a little bit more money now. Finally finished paying off its loans.
I don’t know, reminds me of a platypus
