420,000 yuan

I guess Business Insider is just too culturally hip, and too politically correct to express the cost in U.S. dollars.

And no, I'm not going to the trouble of looking it up, either.

A lot of such cars are fake - yes I know, it’s fake to begin with. What I mean though is that the pictures they show of ‘their’ cars are fake. They use photos of genuine cars, and then claim what you’ll get is what you see.

Which is often not the case.

Anyone who knows something about cars will know that there’s no way one can get the dimensions of a LP4 from the dimensions of a Toyota MR2. Impossible, and the car will look ‘off.’

So, that picture is either (a) or a real Murcielago or (b) of the Franken-car, but much MUCH smaller than the real deal. Smaller is the only way one can get the dimensions of a Murcielago from a MR2.

There was a website that sold these vehicles as kit cars, and it was shut down after it was revealed the pictures on the site were of real vehicles and what people were buying were ugly misshapen crap.

It’s easy to get a kit car of a Cobra. One that will look 100% the same. It’s much harder to get the dimensions of a Lamborghini right ...especially the Murcielago, which is a large and low car. One can do the older Ferrari 360 from a Toyota MR2 (dimensions are closer), but even that would look off. For more modern exotics, maybe if you start off with an Aston Martin frame and make it lower ...and that’s a $200K+ car to start with

When I was a wee pup, I tried to convince Dad we should convert our '62 Bug with a Fiberfab Avenger kit. Would Dad listen to teenage car passion?Oh, nooooo....of course not.

There is nothing like a GT-40 knock off that sounds like an air cooled Bug.

99% of stuff made in China by Chinese leadership is crap.

Especially bearings and extrusions. They NEVER heat treat them properly and they warp, bend or wear/fail quickly.

Lambo kit car. Cool. Might have trouble getting it registered and insured though.

Big deal. Apparently you can get a ‘Hummer’ in China for about $600.

you would think the styling would be trademarked/copyrighted - as if that ever mattered to the chicoms

Sure...you could also put a cucumber in the front of your jeans. Both techniques are equally classy.
