A man in China says his homemade replica of a Lamborghini 2007 Reventon that cost under $10,000 to build, "Drives like a dream." NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.

LOL! Yeah, you'd never know it wasn't a real Lambo.

I'm going to make a Ducati 1199 Panigale out of a bicycle.

The word "replica" should be in thread title. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

 

[Saint Nick]

I'm going to build a helicopter out of a pineapple.

 

[z1ggy]

I am going to build a 747 out of a few tin cans and PVC.

 

[Rumpltzer]

Would you pay $9600 for that POS?

Really?

 

[ibex333]

Really, it's BS. I don't know why everyone is so excited. The guy built a junker out of sheet metal. So what. It's not even remotely resembling a lambo inside and maybe only slightly on the outside. It's a crude, ugly contraption.

Was it an awesome project? Yes.
Does the guy deserve praise for making it? Yes.


But the title is extremely misleading and the "car" this guy built has absolutely nothing to do wit ha Lambo short of the shape remote resemblance.

FTFY

What a waste of 10k, that car looks like crap

Yea, agree, "built from parts from a Nissan van and a VW" LOL, it's burning a ton of oil, has no lighting system or dashboard even. Very creative use of junk parts but the only resemblance to a Lambo is it has 4 wheels..

It'll probably explode or horribly maim/poison someone.

 

[andylawcc]

no.

 

[mizzou]

looks like a fun project gocart type thing.

I'm a bit surprised it cost 10k though

 

[PottedMeat]

where the hell did the 10k go?

looks like a couple hundred dollars of scrap steel and the drivetrain out of a wreck.

I know this professor who was stranded on an island with 6 other castaways and built a nuclear reactor out of a couple of coconuts. True story.

Agreed. They ruined a cool story by putting a misleading headline on it.

:\ Would any rational human being believe he built an actual Lambo? For $10k? Really??? I need to put replica in the title?

I used the exact same title MSN used.

 

[Theb]

Sees headline - "Wow, only $10k?"
Clicks article - "Wow, that cost $10k?"

Yeah I think the $10k should be used to rent a Lambo in Vegas, while two hookers snort lines of coke off my boner.

Haha... seriously!

 

[jagec]

Just like the real thing, for a fraction of the cost!

 

[SlitheryDee]

10k should have resulted in something that at least looked finished. I think the guy was just not very skilled and blew a bunch of money on shit that didn't work out.

 

[manimal]

not hella flush enough

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

It kind of reminds me of this guy who built his own Merc SLR, except not nearly as impressive . . .

Of course you did . :awe: But see the highlighted part?

Any person with an IQ above 70 would know the difference between an actual $2million Lamborghini Reventón and that $10k homemade replica shown in the article, if and when they read it.

Here's a better replica kit starting at about $33k.
