In Vietnam, a Lamborghini Replica Was Made from an Old Nissan (24 photos + 1 video)

Vietnamese craftsmen, famous for their full-scale wooden replicas of foreign cars, aren't afraid to work with metal. The local YouTube channel NHET TV periodically features stories about homemade supercars that are remarkably similar in appearance to the originals. The latest episode tells the story of a thirty-year-old Nissan Cefiro (Maxima) sedan being reborn as a Lamborghini Revuelto.





The team of craftsmen took the most difficult path. Instead of slapping a new body on the old chassis, they essentially built one from scratch—not out of carbon fiber, of course, like the real Revuelto, but still. To achieve this, they had to weld two space frames together: one for molding the fiberglass body panels, and the other, a real one, which became the base of the car.

The same recipe of templates, clay, and fiberglass was used to recreate the interior, including the dashboard with all its reliefs and protrusions, the transmission tunnel, seats, and so on. Then the chassis and suspension were installed, along with a naturally-aspirated V6 from a Cefiro.

The final stage was painting and retrofitting the replica with all the missing parts.

Naturally, there's no talk of any crazy driving dynamics, let alone basic safety, in such a "supercar." However, the degree of external authenticity was excellent. However, the creators of this homemade car didn't expect more.
