Although Demitrios Koroneos (aka Jimmy The Greek) has been building Exotic Illusions Eurosex 1000 and 2500 model kit cars since 1986, he especially enjoys building turnkey cars for discriminating clients. His latest project was this replica of the 25th Anniversary model Lamborghini Countach. in 1988, Lamborghini celebrated its 25th birthday by unveiling an upgraded Countach with new OZ racing wheels and Pirelli Zero tires. A cleaner front air dam and rear bumper were added, along with revamped side-mounted radiator and engine air intakes. On the 5000S, there were short box-like radiator scoops that sat atop the rear fenders. while the 25th Anniversary model had longer scoops that extended to the rear of the fenders and had the outlet vents built in. The outlet vents changed from horizontal slats to vertical ones, and the engine cover went from two separate boxes to a single centrally located bulge on the Anniversary edition. This is the Lambo model that Koroneos duplicated for his client, Antonio Cipolla.
Cipolla, an electrical contractor, wanted an exotic sports car he and his wife could drive on a daily basis. This left out even original Lambos, whose suspect mechanicals preclude trouble-free motoring. He checked out a number of kits before deciding on the 25th Anniversary model built by Exotic Illusions. A V-6 and automatic transmission were chosen for this Fiero-based kit that would see regular use.
Starting with an '86 Fiero with only 32,000 miles, Koroneos added Monroe shocks and struts with new springs. The brake system was completely rebuilt with new rotors, pads, brake lines, and emergency brake cables. The exhaust was replaced and a Stage III performance chip was installed, along with a 160-degree fan switch and thermostat.
Koroneos hand-laid the body starting, with a 5000S-style body and then adding the 25th Anniversary pieces separately. He even made the special 25th edition grilles by hand. When the body was ready, the chassis was modified by chopping the top and welding-in reinforcements in the door sills and roof rails. Koroneos then had the engine computer analyzed and tuned up (an excellent idea for any kit builder--the engine is a lot easier to get to with the body off).
After setting the body in place, Exotic Illusions' body man Gary Hunsinger-lined up all the panels and evened the gaps on the doors and panels. The headlight panels were also adjusted, along with the rear deck. Glistening Corvette Super White paint was applied by Joe Moore, who has been painting cars for Exotic for years and is a longtime friend. When the car was returned two months later, Koroneos had the chassis pressure-washed, and painted the underside gloss black. Wiring whiz Mike Eden installed a custom stereo system with a Viper voice-actuated alarm, a remote starter, and remote door openers.
The tan all-leather interior (above) was done by Rich Warren, who takes time out from his antique furniture business to handle Exotic Illusions' interior work. After a 500-mile shakedown, the car was displayed at the Carlisle kit car show and then delivered to its new owner. Koroneos estimates he could build a similar car for about $45,000, and his next project will have a V-8 conversion for performance to match the exotic look.
Exotic Illusions makes stock length and stretched 98-inch wheelbase versions of the 5000S and 25th Anniversary Lambo models. The Eurosex 1000 is a replica of the 5000S, while the 2500 replicates the 25th Anniversary model. A basic Eurosex 1000 kit starts at $5,500, while the 2500 costs another $3,000. The basic body package includes the complete body, front spoiler, rear wing, scoops, inner liners, and hood and deck lids. The hood and deck have built-in inner liners for a finished appearance--very rare in Lambo replicas. Also, the doors, decks, and pop-up headlights are all pre-hung and installed. A hardware package adds $1,500 to this price, but includes the front frame section, support rails and uprights, side filler panels, and original Lambo aluminum grilles, louvers, door props, latches, and strikers.
The custom interior package ($1,500) includes a gauge cluster with seven VDO instruments. A fiberglass instrument pod, dash top, console, door panels and a rear window surround panel add to the hospitality. The window glass package runs another $650 and it includes a windshield, rear glass, and door windows. An original Lambo curved windshield would add $500 to the package price.
Special 15-inch Compomotive three-piece wheels (9" front/12" rear) mount 225/50-15 and 295/50-15 tires, respectively. No adapters are required, and wheels include center caps and nuts. Exotic also offers a lighting package that includes front and rear lights with Halogen headlamps.
These packages can be ordered in stages. The Stage I kit retails for $9,500 and includes a body, hardware, and the labor and parts required to prepare your Fiero chassis for the new bodywork. This involves cutting off the roof, trimming the framerails, and welding in steel reinforcements. A Stage II package ($17,500) adds the lighting package, a mounted body, headlight wiring, and the installation of the headlamp motors, deck, hood, and rear trunk section (this includes some welding). For the easiest kit of all to assemble, the Stage III ($25,000) comes with the interior package and has the doors installed with latches and solenoids, the dash installed with the gauge package, and all wiring completed.
If even this sounds like too much of a project, consider a turnkey model like the one shown for between $35,000 (Fiero running gear) to $50,000 (for the new V-8 version), depending on options and running gear. All turnkey models are tested for 300 to 500 miles before delivery and come with a one-year warranty.
For a less-expensive alternative, Exotic Illusions also offers the E1000 Deluxe body package set up for an uncut Fiero chassis. For $15,000, this kit includes the body. hardware, interior, lighting, glass, and wheel and tire packages. A custom wheel, ANSA exhaust tips, weatherstripping and carpet are also included. Although the wheelbase is kept stock, the chassis will still need to be altered for body installation. A stretch version is available at a higher price.
Exotic also sells many original Lambo parts for use on its other replicas. The curved front windshield ($600), front light assemblies ($300), and taillights ($600) are a few of the pricey parts that can add to the look of authenticity of your kit.

Beginning in September 1999 the Transportation Technologies program here at Streetsville Secondary School has had the chance to take part in a very unique project that was funded entirely by Mr. Dinner.
We have been constructing a Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition. We started with a 1985 Pontiac Fiero 4 cylinder engine with a 5 speed transmission. The 4 cylinder was removed and a V-6 was installed. The computer and complete wiring harness was replaced with the V-6 harness and brain. The fuel pump was replaced inside the fuel tank to meet the pressure requirements of the new engine.
Once the basic chassis was ready for the modification we removed all the Fiero body panels, doors and glass. The frame was then reinforced to prevent flexing after removing the roof. (The roof on most cars is a main structural component to the vehicle. It is like and egg, if part of the egg shell is missing it is very weak)
We then cut the frame of the behind the drivers seat. The car was now in 2 pieces, the front half and the back half. We moved the back half reward 5 inches to make the Fiero the exact wheel base of a Lamborghini. Then we welded the frame in that location. Using steel plates and spacers the frame was welded and reinforced.
Then we lowered the front radiator to allow the body to be installed. After the rad was lowered we installed the body for a test fit. It did not fit. Just like the rest of this project.!.
We removed the body and made many more modifications so the body could fit over the frame. We had to totally redesign the dash area and ventilation system in order for the body to fit.
Once the body was welded into place we then started to make all our own hinges for the different decks and doors. Steel frame were fabricated and hinged then the fiberglass panels were glassed to the steel frame. This sounds really simple but trust me this took a long time.
The body was cut and shaped to match the appearance of the real car. The wheel wells opening were made smaller, the rear quarter panels were totally reshaped. The hood, engine cover and truck were all reshaped and smoothed to fit neatly. (Tons-o-work)
Week after week I sanded this car to make it smooth. Finally it went to the body shop to have the final preparation for painting. This took 5 weeks of wet sanding, priming and spot filling all the minor imperfections in the body. (by this time the imperfections were minor instead of major) I spent most of the summer 2001 preping this body and then it was painted. Impact Auto Collision on Joymar St in Streetsville sprayed the silver metallic onto the car. The paint process was 3 coats of silver and 5 coats of clear paint. This gives it a deep shine when finished.
Surf this web-site and look at all the pictures we took along the way. It was a major project and the finished product sure looks good!
Please email me with any questions or concerns at

Just in time for Christmas and New Years! When the perfect blend of circumstances crosses your path it’s time to act. Don’t miss this opportunity!!! How many times have you seen a special edition Lamborghini Diablo SE 30th anniversary reproduction for sale and the seller offered to have it professionally painted in any color you choose as part of the deal? This BRAND NEW Diablo in the color of your choice and without the 6-8 month build waiting period for only $36,400 is an outstanding deal and can be yours just in time for Christmas and New Years if it is purchased by November 20th. This beautiful reproduction features stick shift, air conditioning, power windows, CD stereo system and a nicely replicated tan interior. The chassis is a combination of GM and a highly custom reinforced chassis with the standard 11 inch stretch for accuracy and proper length of the vehicle to the original. Other nice features to this diablo are the custom exhaust, power chip, K & N air filter and Diablo style rims. The engine is a nicely rebuilt 6cyl GM with about 67k on it. All accessories to the vehicle (mirrors/grills/emblems) will be added to the vehicle once it is painted in the color you would like it to be, making this a complete package. This is the deal you have been waiting for. At this price, you could drive this car for 2 years and sell it for the same price you paid for it.They really keep their value because they are rare and in demand. Especially since this 30th anniversary Diablo model is much more rare and looks so much better than the VT model. As a bonus I will split shipping costs.
