Ferrari takes legal action against Joel Zimmerman and his ‘Purrari’ 458

Purrari 458 (2)

For those who don’t know, let us help you with the introductions. Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known by his stage name deadmau5 (pronounced “dead mouse”), is a Canadian progressive-house music producer and performer from Toronto, Ontario. Lawyers representing Ferrari have sent him a Cease and Desist letter, asking him to remove certain wacky customisations on his Ferrari 458, which has been renamed as the ‘Purrari’.

Zimmerman had wrapped his Ferrari 458 Spider in a Nyan Cat theme, the name of a YouTube video, uploaded in April 2011, which became an Internet meme. The video merged a Japanese pop song with an animated cartoon cat with the body of a Pop-Tart, flying through space, and leaving a rainbow trail behind it. Apart from the wrap, the prancing horse on the car was replaced by a prancing cat in addition to custom floor-mats and custom ‘Purrari’ badging. So Joel has now removed the wrap and the car has gone back to its original white paint. In the meanwhile, he got himself a new McLaren 650 S spider.
