An auto-enthusiast YouTuber bought a fake Lamborghini.
He bought the supercar dupe via an online auction platform for salvage vehicles in 2019.
Despite sporting Lamborghini-like doors and iconic Countach-inspired lines – it wasn’t exactly what he’d hoped for.
“It’s all downhill from here,” he joked.

The fake Lamborghini reveal
Car content creator Tavarish – in his own words – ‘makes videos about buying, modifying, and breaking cars’.
Even before pulling back the tarp he revealed that his $300 fake Lamborghini was one such misstep.
“For almost 60 years the name Lamborghini has been synonymous with luxury performance styling and just turning heads in general”
“Finally, after years of scrimping and saving, I have bought a car that is none of those things,” he quipped.
Adding: “It sorta, kinda looks like one if you look at it from far away… really far away… further than that,” he quips.
While the suss supercar does have Lamborghini-like doors and iconic Countach-inspired lines – it was plagued with structural damage, misaligned parts, and non-functional features.
Meanwhile, a fake Lamborghini from Craigslist somehow managed to make people confuse it for a real one.
It had several issues
Costs for repairs would almost match the cost of the car itself.
In fact, its frame was bent, fiberglass was cracked, and it was barely drivable.
A big part of the problem was its unreliable Pontiac Fiero V6 engine, which appeared to have been underwater.
While it was ‘not in super rough shape’, it was ‘known for fires back in the day’.
Add to that dumpster fire, misaligned wheels, and steering wheel, missing windows, faulty gauges, and – crucially – a non-functional emergency brake.
It seemed – quite literally – like a non-starter.
Not to watch his investment go to waste, however, Tavarish decided to make the most of it.
His aim was to transform the vehicle into a unique build for SEMA – one of the world’s biggest car shows – to showcase his creativity.
