A man who bought a 2015 Lamborghini Huracán has shared why you shouldn’t bother getting a replica – and it might not be for the reason you think.
Lamborghini unveiled the Huracán in 2013 and it was released the following year.
The supercar comes with a V10 engine and can do 0-60mph km/h (0-97km/h) in just 2.5 seconds.
It also comes with a steep price tag, starting at $249,865 for the 2024 model – but if you’re tempted to try and save some cash by snapping up a replica, one man has revealed why you might want to think again.

Lamborghini Huracán owner advises against buying a fake
Offering the looks of a high-end supercar at a much lower price, replicas can be tempting.
And some of them can be super-convincing, such as this Lamborghini Murciélago that looks a lot like the real-deal or this legit-looking DeLorean replica.
However, YouTuber Will Motivation has urged folks to think twice before parting with their hard-earned money to get a replica.
In a clip shared on his YouTube channel, Will did a walkaround of his real Lamborghini Huracán pretending it was a replica and pointing out supposed faults.
However, after revealing that the ‘rocket ship’ Lambo was, in fact, a legitimate one he shared a story about how he almost parted with tens of thousands of dollars for a fake.
He said he was invited down to a garage in the US where he could build his own custom-made ‘Lamborghini’ for $50,000.
He said the owner of the auto shop told him that he could choose the model, its engine, and numerous other features.
The fake Lambo could have left him seriously out of pocket
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? And that’s because it is.
After initially being tempted by the offer, Will did a bit of digging and discovered that the whole thing was just a scam.
Once the customer handed over the cash, the seller would disappear – leaving the would-be buyer without the car and $50,000 out of pocket.
Will went on to say that after he was almost scammed he looked into how much getting a real Lamborghini would cost him and decided to splash out on one for himself.
He’s urged those who want a supercar to not waste their money trying to get a fake, and to aim to get themselves a real one.
“My message to you today, for all those people that have been looking at replica videos and want to get a fake Lamborghini, take a step back and ask yourself how much is a real Lamborghini,” he said.
“How much work would be required for you to be able to do that? It’s possible.”
