Ever since Lamborghini launched the Aventador back in 2011, people have been attempting to create replicas, some definitely being more successful than others.

The eBay ad specifically states that this is not a Fiero or MR2-based car but a new built.

In fact, this replica of a 2019 Aventador Roadster features a full-size GM chassis and hand-laid fiberglass/steel body. The overall length of the car is 188 inches, while the width is 80 inches, which is pretty much identical to that of the real Aventador. As for the color, it’s dubbed Black Cherry Pearl and is said to make the bodywork appear bright red in the sun and burgundy in the shade.

Powering it is a 500 HP 6.0-liter LS2 V8 Corvette engine that has been fitted with a stage 1 cam ‘Throttle’ body, custom exhaust and cold air intake, which is why peak output is higher than the stock unit’s 430 HP. The car also comes with an automatic gearbox, CD player, leather seats, ABS, driver and passenger airbags, rear-wheel drive, new shocks, springs 12-inch rotors, new disc brake pads, cruise control, traction control, air conditioning and more.

Now, while we can appreciate all that, the fact remains that nobody’s going to be fooled into thinking this is an actual Lamborghini. The size might be right and the power is nothing to laugh at, yet the overall aesthetics are still relatively poor – both inside and out.

So, the performance factor is certainly intriguing, but is it $40k intriguing? Because that’s its asking price…
