Re: The Guy Who Built a Lamborghini In His Basement

I wonder when was the point where he realized that he had to get the car out somehow. lol

Awesome craftsmanship though.

Thats pretty kick ass, I wished the pics were date stamped to get an idea of how long that little jewell took to build. Maybe I am missing but theres no article just pics it seems.

I thought that he had made it out of plywood and put an engine on it after looking at the first photo. Great skill. I wish I had that amount of knowhow to make something like that.

I can't imagine all that time and the setup/material costs could be cheaper than buying a real one...


then I looked up the price of a real one: ~$120,000 is what they all seem to be going for.

Butt Ugly. Cool build, but straight butt ugly.
THIS is a real Lamborghini
