This bloke has some major fucken skills. Click here for build pics so far.

He's turning this, into that.

You'd think his attempt would be really shit, but it's not. It's amazing, only difference is that he's using mild steel instead of carbon fibre.

Gallery of the real thing, for reference.

Wicked, i wonder what engine he will put in it. It will be a complete waste of time if he puts anything less than 5litres in it. Or worse, a turbocharge reliant motor (unless its a V8 Turbo).

that shit looks fantastic.

props

Smallblock V8 with a serious business twin turbo setup, and of all things ungodly, a 4bbl King Demon racing carburettor!
Those carbs have a fucken gigantic flow rate, and I mean gigantic..

..they start at 1090cfm fer fucks sakes and they only get bigger from there - you'd normally see a 1090cfm 4bbl on a 650hp performance engine. My guess is that the block is stroked out and displaces a good 7L or more naturally aspirated, and with 9-15psi (Look pretty capable of it) from the turbos..

..that beast is going to be putting out big numbers, i.e. 750hp, with ease. It'll almost certainly be able to encroach into 4 digit territory, I rekon. It makes me laugh to think that this guy is making a steel bodied version of the Reventon with a carbed pushrod.

That's all supposition, I can't find any info on it, so who knows what's under the covers.

Wow, that's got a lot of potential.

Very impressive.

Even better to have a high performance engine in a sexy car without the complicated gadgets that manufactures seem to go nuts on.

I'm going to be sad if he doesn't rip off the fighter plane dash.

Can I just sell my soul for the real deal or is that not cool anymore?

Wow, just WOW

The question is, does it perform similarly? And was it any cheaper to do it this way?

I like the location of the turbos, easy access.
I wonder what its overall weight will be on completion with the steel and all.
Nice Engineering!

God damn... I expected shit when I saw the thread, but, wow.

Where the hell does this guy work? He has some mad fucking skills.

I love picture 6, looks like he's building a rocket ship in his garage. The bare metal looks so bad ass.

I hope he is loaded....that thing is a brick....it will be hard on gas....not to mention the handling of this thing will be shit......but if he gets in an accident he will be just fine lol.....

No way.

I'd be excited if I was his kids. Especially when they are old enough to drive. You could pick up some chicks just for driving that thing.

Not to mention the fact that this is a completely unique car, I mean instead of being the rich bastard who just threw down more money than I will ever make, he actually built it from scratch. That has to be one of the most manly feelings in the world.

Not exactly from scratch.

Reventon = best looking car out there.

In fact, Lamborghini have always made really awesome looking cars.

Shit thats wicked.

Omg, that dude's a god :O

Sharpie designed Lambo is wicked too.

*cue A-Team music*

but that's amazing.

Mad skillz - this guy has dem.

I came.

That paint job's sik!

it was done with sharpies not paint

Sharpies on the paintwork then Clear coated Fuck that must've taken some time.

Two weeks apparently . I wish I had the attention span to do something like that.

Did he buy the body parts from Lamborghini or is it from scratch?

He started with large flat sheets of steel and lengths of box section, and made all the panels and the frame himself (I think it's only the chassis that he kept from the Fiero). In case anyone reading isn't aware, theres more than one good reason to use the chassis/platform from a pre existing car, and one of them is that this way it will be a million times easier to register (once he gets that far) because it is still technically a Fiero.
Fieros are very popular for this kinda thing, especially Ferrari 355 conversions..

..but this is on a whole other level!

Five bucks says he walked into a dealership, asked how much one costs, and upon hearing the answer said "Well fuck that, I'll build my own!"
