i like it! pretty smart to build a lambo over a stretched mr2.. and probably more reliable too! Where are they making these and how much?

that's wack.

you should see how they build the frame of the car. they're just a bunch of hollow metal bars welded together.

and the body is fiberglass.

one 5 mph crash, and the whole car falls apart.

Yeah.... pretty cool until you have a crowd gathering and then they ask you to start up the engine and rev it up to hear that sweet v12 sound. Everyone will wonder why you refuse to. And for the build quality as dunnokack mentioned....

I think it looks great. I saw a show on the speed channel where they took a porsche boxster and made it into a carrera GT. It was bad ***. No it is NOT the same thing. I will call it a pretty damn good tribute

It looks pretty cool and will get 90% of the driving you would actually do in a Lamborghini done. We all act like we would be doing 200 mph on city streets all of the time if we owned one. I dont think I have ever seen a Lamborghini actually open it up. Its the cheaper, more easily replaced cars, that you will see doing the burnout, powerslides, and insane speeds on the freeway

I could see it being used a stunt car for crash scenes in movies for obvious reasons, but if the owner were trying to drive around trying to pass it off as a real Lamborghini, that wouldn't be cool.
