I think I know where this came from. There is a company on A1A in Ft. Lauderdale. They take newer model Boxster S cars with low mileage and turn them into the car you see on this link and also Lambo's. They gut the interior to make it look exactly like the real thing. The bodies are fiberglass. The exhaust sounds like the real thing. I was so intrigued, I went to the body shop to check it out. The cars (turn key) are $50,000. You can get a turbo carrera engine for $15,000 more. They are so busy, it takes about 2 years to get your car.

I have to admit it, the cars are beautiful and for most people, they would not know the difference from a real one. Even the engine has a lambo cover on it. The Diablo was truely identical to the original.

I don't like fake items. As far as I am concerned, if you can't afford the real thing, don't buy it.

Not my cup of tea ... sorry. No matter how hard people / companies try the proportions always look off to me.

We'll see how much someone will pay for this though ... (or not).
