- A builder mounted a Countach body onto a Jeep Wrangler.
- The front end merges a Jeep grille into the supercar shell.
- A custom hand-painted finish gives it a comic book look.
The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato introduced the baby supercar to gravel roads, but neither it nor the Urus SUV was ever meant for hardcore off-road work. Kyle, a content creator and custom fabricator out of North Carolina, went looking for the recipe those two never had and found it in a build that fuses two vehicles with nothing whatsoever in common.
The Jeeporghini (or is that a Wrangoutach?) stitches the unmistakable silhouette of a Lamborghini Countach onto the underpinnings of a Jeep Wrangler, a pairing nobody asked for and Kyle built anyway.

The starting materials were a 1995 YJ-generation Wrangler two-door convertible and a Countach replica built on a Fiero. Kyle’s first move was to repair the fiberglass shell of the supercar impersonator and pull it off the Pontiac chassis.

From there he stripped the Jeep, pulling the hood and windshield and slicing off the tubular roof structure at the back to drop the body’s height. That let him drop the Countach shell onto the Wrangler like a cap.
Interestingly, the two vehicles had similar wheelbase lengths, and the extra width of the replica Lamborghini body was enough to clear the wide archies of the Wrangler. However, the classic YJ nose with the upright grille and the rectangular headlights was too tall for the sharp front end of the Countach, prompting Kyle to get creative with a cutout.

The finished nose reads like a scene from Alien, a Jeep clawing its way out of a Lamborghini. A tubular bullbar sits ahead of it, adding more rugged friction against the supercar lines.
To accentuate the adventurous character of the build, Kyle chose a desert tan paint with cartoon-style hand-drawn line work giving it a cell-shaded 3D appearance. As for the rear end, the Wrangler taillights proved to be a great match for the Countach.

Instead of hugging the tarmac the way the late Marcello Gandini drew it, the wedge sits high on the Jeep’s lifted chassis, riding on heavy-duty solid axles and oversized knobby mud-terrain tires.

As you might have guessed, the fake Lamborghini traded its mid-engine layout, adopting the standard front-engine 4WD underpinnings of the Jeep. This means that the Frankenstein vehicle has a cargo area at the back, effectively making it a truck. Of course, Kyle had to do a lot of adjustments to make it functional, and keeps improving it with additional modifications.
You can follow Kyle’s journey on Instagram and YouTube. All we know is that he drives the craziest Jeep and Lamborghini mashup we’ve ever seen.
