Are there any Murcielago replicas out there?

You ever notice you only see Diablo replicas? Why not Murcielago replicas? I dont get it, I mean if someone came out with one it would sell like crazy, im not planning on buying one, its just something i noticed. If anyones got a reason why or has a link for someone who makes one, please reply.

I have seen one and it looked horrible, it was so obvious that it was a fake. The reason why there are not many is because it is really hard to make a fake murci at the right price and then still have it look like a murci.

Re: Are there any Murcielago replicas out there?

i have seen it before it was on ebaymotors, it was the worst looking rear, it was a mix of a diablo and a murcie, and the inside was just horrible, the thing that you dont see many murcielago repliicas because the diablo ones are easier, and the diablo replicas will look a little more real so that=better

Exclamation Ok. Take a deep breath

This is shit.

Ok got some pics of the replicas, check the lights on this blue one, they're wack. Of course I don't think the air intakes can move like the real thing, the front lights are odd too, the inside is nasty.

But this one

http://www.kitcar.com/triangle/G24-topless.html

Is bad, the rear lights are better, but look at those wing mirrors!! And in the yellow you can see the poor replication of the air intake below the door, the shape is completely fucked up.

Oh Dear....

That carerra GT is really whack! I think the people who do thease things need to get measurments/angles down to the millimeter/degree, then again, people who do that build replicas that cost $150,000. One thing that nobody i think can replicate is the sound insullation in the interior that Lamborghini worked their ass of to come up with. Plus, when you buy a replica and your friends find out its not real...thats worse then just driving around in a hoop-D. I dont know, maybe someday, somebody can come out with a replica thats accurate and moderatly priced. And, worst of all, most people dont put logos and emblems on them...even if a person has never seen a Murcielago in his life (picture or in person), but they know its a Lamborghini, theyre gonna be like "Uhh...you said this is a Lamborghini, where are all the emblems???"

i am sure i am going to take hell for this but for a replica i do not think it is that bad. i do not think the diablo replicas look any better and if i were to buy a replica, i never would but if idid i would want the murci. it is as close to the murci as the diablos are to the diablo. hell the interior i have seen on some diablos still look like the fiero they are. trust me i would never buy this but it still looks like a murcielago to me.

Re: Are there any Murcielago replicas out there?

These "replicas" remind me of Rolex "replicas". If can't own the real thing, why bother with a fake one. Be happy with whatever sportscar you can afford until you can get a real Lambo instead of sporting an obvious imitation. Just my opinion.
