This DIY replica of a Lamborghini Aventador is so spot on that you’d need to be an expert to tell them apart.
The homemade Lamborghini was created using bits of pieces of cars from all over.
In fact, the mesh grille on the unique Franken-car’s front and rear bumper actually comes from an old Lambo Aventador.
And with the car up and road-ready its creators decided to see how it compared to the real deal. Why not, right?

The homemade Lamborghini Aventador looks the part
There are some wildly creative and super inventive folks out there – we’ve previously seen this one-off oversized bumper car that is, somehow, road-legal.
We’ve watched a guy create his own Cybertruck entirely out of wood.
Let’s not forget this mechanic who built a Lamborghini V12 Vision GT that has a frankly mind-bending amount of detail.
Meanwhile, this Lamborghini Aventador was made by the team from The Strekal YouTube channel.
A cool time-lapse video shared on the channel showcased the hard work that went into the car to get it looking so similar to the real one.
And with the work all finished, they decided to put it up against a legit Lamborghini Aventador to see how it compared.
Let’s be honest, at first glance it’s almost impossible to tell which is the real one.
But it doesn’t drive quite like the Lamborghini
That’s not to say the cars are identical and the DIY job has a few of the sort of production issues you just wouldn’t see on a Lamborghini, such as a big gap between the window side panel and larger, less elegant-looking wing mirrors.
And it only takes a quick trip out on the road to really lay the differences bare.
For a start, the real Lambo has a very distinct sound that the replica isn’t quite able to replicate.
The real version is also a lot more powerful and – thanks to its carbon-ceramic brakes – has incredible stopping times.
The same can’t be said for the DIY version, but when it comes to down looks alone the differences are a lot harder to spot.
All in all, it’s a pretty epic build, isn’t it?
