Yeah I was quite puzzled at that. Pretty cool car though.

That is really cool, i do wonder though would it have been cheaper to just buy one....

way cheaper for him to make, because he's using generic piece of shit parts...

Like the engine, its just a ford or whatever... Not even fuel injected.

The brembo brakes on the Lambo would be about 1/2 the cost of this hand-made job Tho we are not counting man-hours.
