Customizing supercars and giving them new bodywork components is nothing new, but doing so to a Lamborghini Diablo might seem sacrilege.
In Japan, though, it’s a big deal. The country is famous for the Mitusoka Orochi, with its weird, fish-like body design.
However, an even more outrageous supercar exists out there, created by Shiraiwa Motor S.K.
The company has taken the classic Lamborghini supercar from the 1990s, completely remodeled it, and turned it into something genuinely outrageous—so much so that it is unrecognizable as the car it actually is.

The car uses a Lamborghini as its basis
The supercar is called the Value Progress Beast, which is one of the most unusual supercar names we’ve heard.
Amazingly it did used to be a Lamborghini Diablo.
This was the last supercar made by the Italian company before its Audi takeover.
To put it mildly, the new design does transform the Value Progress Beast, but not in a good way.
The car has an even crazier rear wing than the original Diablo, complemented by flared wheel arches and outrageous side vents.
The rear of the car is a horrible mish-mash, with a strange center-exhaust setup and horrible lines all across the rear fascia.
There really is no way to decipher that this car was once one of Lamborghini’s finest supercars.
Only the front of the car bears some resemblance to its former self.
New bodywork enlarges the proportions of the Diablo
Thanks to the additional bodywork, the size of the Diablo has increased dramatically.
The additions have given the Beast an extra 22.4 inches in length compared to the stock Diablo.
Some of the most unusual features are on the roof, with a strange scoop sitting under the car’s louvered spine.
However, the elongated front end deserves the most attention.
The Diablo’s wedge shape is gone, and in its place come horrible intakes, a large grille, and no more pop-up headlights.
The Beast has taken its headlights from the rather strange-looking Cypha hatchback made by WiLL.
Sadly, we don’t get any photos of the Beast’s interior, which may be just as well.
If it’s as outrageous as the exterior, perhaps it’s a good thing we can’t see inside the car.
