Your eyes are tricking you.
If you’re willing to look, replica cars can be found online for a fraction of the cost. You can bet your bottom dollar that someone made a replica of it using an ordinary donor car, such as a Honda. Many are not very good. Sometimes, however, you just have to stop and admire the craftsmanship of a Lamborghini Aventador replica in Mumbai, India.
The video is very well done. You can see that the replica looks quite similar to the real thing. The similarities between the two cars are obvious if you focus close enough to see the headlights or a low angle shot of the rear end. This is not the real thing. Below the sheet metal, you will find a Honda accord coupe.
It’s difficult to overlook the amount of craftsmanship that went into this project. The creation was meticulously planned by the team. It is difficult to find a body panel that looks remotely like it comes from Honda. A replica usually copies the design cues from the car it is trying to imitate, and then pastes them around the donor vehicle. The final result can often look strange as the doors, headlights and taillights are usually a dead giveaway of the car’s identity.
There are some beautiful touches to this Aventador replica. The lighting elements are all top-notch. It’s a nice touch to have a center-exit exhaust that appears to be functional. The scissor doors are the cherry on the cake, giving the project an authentic Italian feel.
The dash inside is not an Aventador, or any Lamborghini. The center console, however, is faithfully imitated, as well as the fighter-jet-like start button. The instrument cluster is solid. It’s also nice to have sporty seats.
It is easy to criticize people who make these machines. These projects require a lot more than just sweat and tears. It’s hard to deny that someone is proud of their car, especially when it looks like this Aventador replica.
