VIDEO: CHECK OUT THIS MODERN-DAY FERRARI 288 GTO, IT'S SERIOUSLY COOL!

Ferrari has produced some of the most beautiful cars ever. And now a South African designer Matthew Parsons has decided to bring the 288 GTO into the current day and as you may agree, the finished result is pretty phenomenal. 

Parsons took the design inspiration from many of its major design cues and mixed them together with the styling of current Ferrari models. The result is both retro and modern, aggressive and yet classy, bringing you the modern Ferrari 288 GTO.

Looking at the car from the front, one immediately notices the boxy front end with a flat hood and headlights sitting in line with the bumper, unlike current Ferrari models where the lights are situated on either side of the hood.

From the side, the 288 GTO inspiration is obvious, particularly with the squared roofline and air intake just behind the doors.The rear-end of the Ferrari 288 GTO appears to be a mishmash of the 288 GTO, the super fast and limited-run J50 and portrays a wide, low and exceptionally mean stance. 

Despite how good the Ferrari 288 GTO looks– which you can see in the gallery above –, we can't imagine Ferrari ever producing such a car. Instead, we'll just have to put it into our pile of retro sports cars that the world would love to see, alongside a modern Peugeot 205 GTI and Nissan's IDX concept. 

Indulge in the video below, you get to see Matthew Parsons's concept come to life!
