Actually, you should ask that of Bloozberry and others for it takes considerable amount of time to defend and justify a lie. However, as the saying goes, “Pictures are worth a thousands words.” You can't defend failure.

I doubt many of us will ever see a real Reventon on the streets, but maybe at a exotic car show, but from the three pics here you can clearly tell that this after market kit is way off the mark.

The "Reventon" kit isn't authorized by Lamborghini. Lamborghini isn't going to shoot themselves in the foot by offering a "kit" of their million dollar plus car to those with 360k Murcielogo's and even if they were is surely would be better looking than the pics above. As for Porsche or for that matter any major car companies they're all under the same name, same car, and specs. To upgrade isn't an issue for the "go fast" parts are easy bolt-ons. However, full disclosure to potential buyers.


That cannot be said of replicas. No authorization from Lamborghini/Ferrari, a hodgepodge of various parts, and a car with discombobulated dimensions.

The same can be said about the Curly-mobile....... you have no Authorization for Pontiac to label it a Fiero because it is a hodgepodge of various parts, and a car with discombobulated dimensions.
Just admit it your a hypocrite

The last time I looked it was my car was a Fiero, but I'll go look again.


Yep, looks like a Fiero to me.

As for replica(s) they're pretending. Nothing more than a failed attempt to emulate a lamborghi/Ferrari with a hodgepode of discombobulated parts of a Fiero underneath, failed exterior of a Ferrari or Lamborghini, and dimension of a clown car.

Example: #10,000



Example: 400,000K plus

Since this thread doesn`t seem to be dying I`ll give ya one to gander.
Real Countach



Replica



From the rear view I actually prefer the replica over the real because I like the cleaner looking tailights.
The louvers on the real one also seem to be drooping a bit.
Just because Lamborghini built it doesn`t mean it`s a superior car.
There are many people who build replicas and are just as skilled craftsmen as Lamborghini builders.
Oh, also the Lambo doesn`t get extra point for a girl posing on it.

gentlemen, i've attended the kit car show in carlisle pa for the last several years... i've learned that each owner is proud of their vehicle and there's something to learned from each vehicle, be it negative or positive... the "rule" is that there is no "rule"...

yet to completely appreciate the rat rods popular in our local shows but i must admit, i'm starting to "get" them... trailer queens, now that's a different matter....................................

Australian, the one you posted is the real Countach.
And I agree, the bumper on the real one looks a little different than I have seen.
