great copying work, but it's not the same thing as the original. i personally would not buy a lambo kit car.

The thing that still puzzles me is that isn't the wheel base of the SW20 and the Murci way different?

Not bad, not bad. I noticed on the related videos section, they have more kits. Some comments there are pretty stupid

Too bad it probably sounds nothing like the real thing, can't copy that v10/v12 roars

those who own the real lambo will laugh when other ask if their cars are kits or not while those who own kit lambos get angry or furious when other conclude their kit lambos are in fact kit cars.

Oh, they can use a used v8 engine to pretent it a v10/v12

Notice how there is no interior shots? I wonder how close the kit car can come to the actual Lambo interior.

Never stopped kit cars on other chassis before. All you need is a plasma cutter.
