Police said the father and son sold the fake Ferraris and Lamborghinis through social media.

Police in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina have raided a clandestine factory manufacturing bootleg luxury vehicles.

Officials from the Santa Catarina Civil Police's Investigative Unit seized eight semi-assembled replicas of Ferraris and Lamborghinis in Monday's raid, according to a police press release.

The factory was found in Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil.

Police said the replicas were being offered through social media for between 180,000 Brazilian reals ($48,000) and 250,000 Brazilian reals ($66,000), a fraction of the list price for an original vehicle. According to motoring website motor1.com, the starting price for a Ferrari is around $215,000.

Tools, molds, fibers and frames used to manufacture the cars were also seized during the raid, police said.

The shop was owned by a father and son, who were both arrested and face criminal charges for falsifying commercial property. The pair are thought to be the largest manufacturers of bootleg luxury vehicles in Brazil.

Tools, molds, fibers and frames were also seized in the raid.

The investigation began when Ferrari and Lamborghini representatives contacted the Santa Catarina Civil Police.

Fake supercars are not unique to Brazil.

In 2010, a Thai man shot to fame for his ability to build replica Ferraris, Porsches and Aston Martins.

You should have just being your own brand. It just needs to look like a super car and you'd still get some accolades

If you built an aircraft, you are not faking it. You actually built your technology and it is not a crime. What made the Brazilians' bootlegs to be called fake was because they named it another company's brand name

Now I know where Dino is getting all does his cars.
No wonder he can't drive them.
