Shari Belafontes car ??


Does anyone know the name of the convertible that Shari Belafonte drove in as co-driver with another woman ?

I believe it's a Ferrari Daytona.

it was definitely supposed to be a Ferrari Daytona, but I am not convinced that the Daytona and the Lambo were not fakes. I am not a Lamborghini expert but I have seen a couple in person and they are very low and very very wide. I was not convinced the one in the movie was real. The car looks fake from the back and the interior.
The Ferrari Daytona on Miami Vice was a clever fake as well.

the countach in the later parts of the film (from when it arrivesin the parking lot with the spoiler inside) is most def a fake.

but the car in the intro - well im not so sure about that one.
it could be genuine

Intro Countach was genuine, some other closeups, and a replica was used for the rest of the movie. Same for the Ferrari 365, it was a replica. Likely an insurance issue as they would have been the priciest cars used in stunts.
