Man who built a fake Lamborghini breaks down shocking unexpected expenses after constant questions about his car

This Australian YouTuber has built a fake Lamborghini from scratch and after relentless questions from onlookers, he’s finally revealing exactly how much it cost him to build and maintain.

It is very much the franken-car of supercars, put together using a 1:1 replica of a Lamborghini Diablo, a BMW E36 and even a Mazda RX8.

The YouTuber started adding up all of the costs he has spent on building the car and upgrading parts so that he could finally have an answer for all those asking him.

The real question was whether all the challenges, cost, and labor were worth it to build this strange looking fake Lamborghini.

Silencing the questions on his fake Lamborghini

This popular fake Lamborghini has been built from different parts that YouTuber, Mike Lake, sourced from the internet.

After it was built, Lake was asked a lot of questions about the car.

He received so many questions in fact, that he decided to make a video to reveal exactly what it cost him to get his Lamborghini on the road.

In the video’s caption, he said: “After completing our Fake Lamborghini drift car build, it’s time to break down how much this build really cost…Uh oh.”

Breaking down the shocking unexpected expenses

There are obvious expenses when it comes to building a fake Lamborghini from scratch, including the shell that he purchased as a 1:1 replica of a Lamborghini Diablo which cost $70,400, and the chassis he got from a BMW E36, which cost him only $160.

He also bought an engine and gearbox that used to belong to a Mazda RX8 and sold the shell, which meant his total cost came to $3,200.

That’s of course far less than the price of a real Lamborghini.

But there were plenty more costs, some unexpected ones too.

The unexpected expenses come in the form of the suspension and wheels.

The wheels cost him $1,600, while the suspension and wheels together came to $4,480.

Combining the cost of the shell, chassis, engine, gearbox, turbo and cooling system, ECU and wiring harness, custom exhaust and intake manifold, roll cage, fuel system, suspension and wheels, paints, fluids and welding and the exterior finish, his costs came to $95,815.

While this is a fair chunk of money, it’s still far less than the cost of a brand-new supercar.

But, as Mike says: “Was it easy? Nah. Was it cheap? Absolutely not. Was it worth it? 150%. Seeing everyone’s reactions every time they look at this car makes every hour and every dollar spent on this thing absolutely worth it.”
