Believe it or not, it's real....a real boat that is! It's a wooden boat made by Venetian artist Livio De Marchi, the picture was taken in Venice during traditional carnival festivities.

Was it in Venice that an Italian sculptor was carving Ferraris' in marble at a 1:1 scale?
I saw it in Car & Driver -I believe-
Probably wouldn't float as well.

Lest we forget the 80's classic One Crazy Summer, wherin a Ferrari F355 owned by the arrogant son of the money-grubbing developer is chainsawed to provide power for the good guys' sailboat?
