This is how you ruin a perfectly nice Toyota Supra
Many car enthusiasts are unable to afford their dream cars due to financial constraints and limited monthly budgets. Lamborghini ownership will remain an unattainable dream for many. The most affordable model, for example, costs roughly $220,000.
That didn’t stop a Dutchman from turning his Toyota Supra into one of the most divisive custom builds we’ve ever seen. The renowned Japanese sports vehicle, which was once an absolutely gorgeous 1990 Mk3, has been transformed into a poor duplicate of the legendary Lamborghini Reventon.
Unsurprisingly, it’s up for sale on marktplaats.nl. The dealership selling the eccentric recreation ambitiously describes the vehicle as “beautifully done with the appearance of a €200,000 car.” We have to disagree; it’s certainly not fooling anyone.
The front bumper and rear fascia, despite its success, cannot hide the Supra’s boxier lines. The Aventador’s angular style contrasts with the Toyotaghini’s 80s design, giving it a stubby, ungainly profile. With the exception of the taillights, the rear is a respectable attempt at replicating the Reventon’s legendary derriere. (canadian pharmacy) The aftermarket wheels bore no similarity to the authentic Lambo’s turbine-like wheels.
At the very least, the build got the colour right. The 1-of-20 hypercar was exclusively painted in Grigio Reventon, and while the matte grey paintwork isn’t an exact match, it does stay on concept. You’ll be disappointed when you raise the engine cover and discover nothing there, despite the prominent engine cover. The Supra retains its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive setup. It appears the stock 3.0-liter straight-six hasn’t been fettled with, either.
If the outside has deceived you, the interior will reveal the vehicle’s true origins. The Supra logo is still proudly displayed on the steering wheel. Another telltale indicator is the boxy dashboard with its Toyota dials, but a set of worn-looking seats try their best to raise the old cabin – look closely and you’ll notice exposed wiring.
Although this Supra/Lamborghini combination comes close, it’s far from the worst creation we’ve seen this year. The real shocker occurs when you look at the pricing. The vendor in question is demanding €19,950 (about $25,250), which is a substantial sum of money. It becomes much worse when you learn that the person behind this unique build gave up a manual Supra.
Should the Supra’s former caretaker ever have similar thoughts, we recommend they look at this really spectacular 350Z transformation we recently saw.
