McBurnie

Replica Ferrari Daytona Used in Miami Vice

McBurnie is a US bodywork company mostly known for their replicas of Ferrari Daytona Spyder. The Daytona replicas are based on the Chevrolet Corvette C3 and became very popular because they were featured in the TV series Miami Vice where the main character Sonny Crocket drives a black Daytona Spyder. Ferrari reacted and managed to get McBurnie and other replica manufacturers to stop production.
