This Lamborghini Aventador Replica is Based on a Pontiac GTO / Holden Monaro [w/Videos]

From the magical land of eBay comes our next tale of replicas. This newly found example is pretending to be a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, though even an untrained eye can see that there something is wrong with car's proportions.

The seller and builder of the replica is "Z and M Customs", which is located in the city of Eagle in Ada County, Idaho.

The company informs us that the Aventador lookalike is built on the chassis and mechanical components of a "GM Holden" with power coming from a "LS1 V8 Corvette with approximately 400HP".

Yes, Someone Tried to Turn a Porsche Boxster in Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster

The only sane reason we can think of why someone would take a Porsche Boxster and attempt a crude recreation of a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster is that the owner had a heavily damaged example of the Stuttgart-based carmaker's mid-engine model lying around and decided to get mechanically and cosmetically creative – or so to speak.

Regardless the reason that gave birth to the idea, the project remains unfinished despite changing several hands (we wonder why….). The person selling the car on eBay states that he was offered the Murcielago-stein as part of a trade deal.

Lamborghini Murcielago Crashes in Poland [w/Video]

After all those recent Ferrari accidents, it's time for Poland to claim a Lamborghini – a matte grey Murcielago, to be precise.

According to CarScoop tipster Adam, the accident took place in the center of Wroclaw, which is the largest city in western Poland, on Sunday afternoon.

It's not clear whether the driver of the Murcielago lost control of the Italian supercar or as some reports have suggested, that he...couldn't decide if he wanted to continue straight or go towards the tunnel. Either way, he smashed into the brick ledge destroying the car.

Among other clones, the mid-engine MR2 has been transformed into a Ferrari Enzo, a Ferrari 460 Modena Spider, a Ferrari F430 Spider, a strange looking creation from Japan called the DragStar F1 Dragon, a Gumpert Apollo and believe it or not, even a Ford Mustang Eleanor.

Homemade Lamborghini Reventon Based on a Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe

Much like Wang Jian, a 28-year old Chinese mechanic that built a Lamborghini Reventon replica from scrap metal and used car parts, Alexander, a 30-year-old car buff from the Ukrainian city of Odessa, had a dream and that was to create a clone of the Italian supercar.

The Ukrainian, however, followed a different path as he decided to base the Reventon on his very own 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe (third generation) that he had acquired back in 2008.

Chinese Man Builds Himself a $9,500 Lamborghini Reventon Out of Old Car Parts and Iron

Most Lamborghini supercars in a drivable condition are out of reach for most people, even more so if we are talking about one of the most expensive models to come out from Sant'agata, the $2 million Reventon.

Being the son of a humble farmer from a rural area of China's eastern Jiangsu province, doesn’t help either, but when a man has a dream, nothing can stop him, which is the case for Wang Jian.

The 28-year old mechanic built himself a replica of a Lamborghini Reventon using whatever parts and materials he could get his hands on.
