Eclipse conversion to Lambo....

[spyderdrifter]

All I can say, is I'm glad this guy didn't destroy a 2G to build this replica.

Homemade Lamborghini Reventon Based on a Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe - Carscoop
WTF

 

[tmaxx411]

ill give him credit for putting in the effort...

 

[junkyarddsm]

I thought it was cool id drive it.

 

[spyderdrifter]

I'd rather drive the real Reventon, not that it'd ever happen...

 

[Paintballaa5]

Glad it wasn't a dsm, but not gonna lie, thats a pretty cool concept. Think of how much fab skill was required.

 

[Dhan]

That's one of the most badass things I've seen all weekend. That group has some skill if they could pull that off.

I'd take that thing and drive it in a heartbeat. All the flash for less cash

 

[danielsl1999gsx]

That thing is super tall

 

[toppertopper]

Is it all show and no go ?

 

[H@xtGSX]

That is some serious fabrication work. You have to give them credit for making it look that good. It sounds like they may have stuck a 4g63 in it... Considering how much of that is fiberglass, it could be pretty quick.

Edit: That is metal?? If that is all sheet steel, then they've got amazing fabrication skills, and poor judgement. All steel would be heavy, and considering that the real deal is 3600 lbs with a 680 hp V12 in it... The power to weight ratio is a tad off........ That alone should prompt them to at least stuff a turbo 383 with a RWD set up in it...

I couldn't drive that thing. Nice with on it but a lambo has a distinctive sound so you would know right away. Like said above all show no go. Defintely something different tho not knocking the dude for effort at all.

 

[Colt4G63 also]

That's badass! All sheet metal too! That is a fantastic job! I wish it was AWD and had a 4g63 with a huge turbo, it would be worth it in a heartbeat.

Lol. Police officer: "License and registration.....wait, wtf.... REAL registration!".

 

[GSTurbo1]

a front wheel, front engine reventon... got to be like a unicorn or sumthin.

 

[hotsause64]

Looks pretty sweet, so much time and effort hes got way more patience then me to put that many hours into fabrication, all I got to say is nice job man

 

[JDT]

All I have to say is if you're going through the effort of doing such a conversion at least take the time to measure out the correct proportions. Would look great if it actually looked like a Lambo.


More power to them... I guess..

 

[stracer107]

Gota give him props looks sick. 1 taillight is 3k. But any chicks he picks up are in for a surprize. Lambo?? It says mitsubshi on the dash

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

The quality is actually pretty good. I give him props. I'd probably roll in that.

 

[A_USER_NAME]

Thats some great fab skills. I only wish!

 

[Dhan]

All I have to say is if you're going through the effort of doing such a conversion at least take the time to measure out the correct proportions. Would look great if it actually looked like a Lambo.

It's pretty convincing and it would fool the average person. Which is their goal probably.

Of course the majority or us on this site would spot it as a fake right away and be able to hear the 4-banger. But we're car people, so we're more difficult to fool than the average gawker

 

[PotatoFlakeSTi]

That looks miserable. If you're building a replica, atleast replicate the cars dimensions.

Fenders look horrible.

Suppose he gets a point for effort, but meh.

 

[red_devil]

It's well done but cars converted to look like lambos and Ferraris just look stupid. Why would you want a fake car? Hes got the skills, but why not invent something new.

 

[99gst_racer]

That thing is super tall

That was the first thing I noticed too. That and the small wheewells and narrow wheel/tire package.

A Lambo is much more than fancy body lines. The body work looks great though.

 

[Sebba]

Put that man in a fab shop!

 

[spyderdrifter]

I'm beginning to think I should have placed this post in the hangout section. Anyway, this one isn't an eclipse, but the proportions are much better.

Ton of work, great job to him.
