Hand-Made Lamborghini Built In Basement
« on: October 20, 2008, 02:49:45 PM »
Talk about skills!!!!


Seventeen years ago, Ken Imhoff watched Cannonball Run and became so enamored with the Lamborghini Countach in the film, he hand-built his own, in his basement. In what we imagine might be the most Jalopnik build ever undertaken, Ken designed and fabricated his own tig-welded frame, installed a thoroughly massaged 351 cubic inch V8 with a ZF-25 5-speed transmission, hand-formed the aluminum body over a meticulously measured and accurate body form, and finished it all off in a beautiful metallic gray. It took Ken 10 years to complete the project, and the results — as you can see both in the gallery and in the video below the jump — are amazing. There\'s only one problem, when you build a car in a basement — how do you get it out? Find out below.

Damn..that s**t is unreal...:eek:...maybe i can get him to make me an audi R8!!..:D....i\'ve heard that alot of hollywood action blockbusters ususally go this route...in terms of having scenes with exotic cars that they smash up,...it\'s been known that they develop cars that look just as genuine as the one seen here just so they can use it in a scene where the car is destroyed..:D

It\'s alot cheaper than buying the real thing..:p....but this is still amazing...i can\'t believe this guy did this by himself...

kind of reminds me of a story I read about some guy making a full scale formula 1 car in his basement out of matchsticks.

by the time he\'d finished it, it looked about 15 years out of date.

The cars in Fast and Furious were pieces of shit.  They had a couple fancy cars, but for the most part you were looking at crap being driven in the movie.

True but I bet to the average person, they wouldn\'t be able to tell the difference.
