A KIT car is a cool thing, to build your own reliable car, especially if it doesnt LOOK like something it's not. Building a replica to ME is just stupid. So are Fiero kit cars that have Ferrari kits cool? lol. I know the upkeep of exotics having worked on them for a summer, but if you bought it in the first place, you can easily keep it running. The guys who buy a real exotic and never drive it are in debt...

    I see the point of having a reliable replica, but in the end, it's fake, does not have the exotic magic a real one does or the advanced engineering, it just kind of LOOKS like it, and if tricking people is all that matters, I can probably trick someone with this Aston Martin replica for my Miata:



    Actually, you couldn't.
    The Miata is nowhere the size of an Aston Martin and you picked to wrong example to support your argument. This replica is definitely bogus.

    The two Lambo's that are depicted in this thread are pretty close when it comes to authenticity, give or take a few minor details.

    and furthermore, Aside from the fact that the replica's do not come from Italy, what is really the diff between the real and the fake.


    I say maybe quality but at the end of the day, the most complex part of the build is the motor.

    The Murcielago replica body I'm sure was molded from an original.
    I'm sure that Lamborghini replicates the body of each car that they build from an original mold.

    I could be wrong about this but since Lambos are not really mass produced like say Camry's and they are handbuilt(again, I could be wrong), the replicas are right on par.



    So at the end of the day, you are paying a few hundred thousand dollars for an "exotic" which is to say that you're paying an insane amount of money simply because of the name and where it was built.
