Contrary to a “tradition” that has distanced classic Ferraris from the restomod world, the Ferrari 308 “The Brawler” imagine what a restomod of the historic Italian model would be like.
Created by designer Carlos Pecino, this is, for now, just a render, with its author describing it as “the perfect balance between brutality and elegance” and admitting that he was inspired by the world of NASCAR racing to create it.
If this description fits the Ferrari 308 “The Brawler” we leave it to your discretion, however, the truth is that it looks like something out of either the “The Punisher” series or the apocalyptic saga “Mad Max”, such is its aggressive look, accented by black paint.
As for the inspiration in the world of competition, this is denounced by the huge slick tires from Hoosier (the tire brand that will equip the NASCAR starting this year), the wider body, the absence of the rear bumper, roll cage or engine exposed.
And mechanics?
Although this Ferrari 308 “The Brawler” is just a render, that didn't stop Carlos Pecino from imagining what mechanics could animate his creation.

In this way, according to the designer, the 308 “The Brawler” would not use a Ferrari engine, but the “heretic” twin-turbo V8 engine of the McLaren 720S, counting in this way with 720 hp and 770 Nm.
In addition to inheriting the engine from the British model, Carlos Pecino's creation would also make use of the MonoCage II that equips the McLaren, all to increase structural rigidity and improve dynamic behavior.
In other words, the author of this “hybrid” creature technically created a McLaren with the body modified from a Ferrari 308. Did he go too far in merging the two arch-rival builders into a single model?
