This man bought a blue Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster replica but is now forced to sell it for a new car.
The special thing about this replica is that it is built on a custom tube chassis.
Even the company that made the chassis was sued by Lamborghini for basically making a one-to-one replica of the actual Diablo.
So you can imagine how special and accurate this replica is.

Fake Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster
YouTuber Freddy Hernandez better known as Tavarish, bought the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster replica back in 2023.
However, since then he has bought a McLaren P1, parts for which are quite expensive.
So he is now forced to sell the Diablo to afford the parts.
As far as fake Lamborghini goes, it is one of the most realistic-looking ones.
The only other time we have seen such a great copy is when another YouTuber created a DIY replica of a Lamborghini Aventador.
Other than looking exactly like the Lamborghini Diablo, the car also had a supercharged V8 with a Porsche gearbox.
As good as the original
Yes, this car is a five-speed manual with a G50 transmission and an Eaton M90 supercharger.
However, the suspension and brakes of the car come from a C4 Corvette.
The original owner of the car bought it from Richard Rawlings of Gas Monkey, who also built a custom 6×6 Ferrari Testarossa.
Allegedly, it had cost over $100,000 to build.
Fortunately, the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster replica was bought by Alex Palmeri from LegitStreetCars
Although the car looked like the real thing, on the inside it had a lot of damage.
So Palmeri has a lot of work cut out for him.
Although some people do not recommend buying a fake Lamborghini, it can be quite an attractive addition to someone’s collection.
Just ask John Cena…or maybe don’t.
