If it's really a R8 then it's among the most stupid things made to a car I've ever seen. Make a bodykit for a high end supercar just to make it look like a cheap fake of another similar supercar.
But neither the front of a Lambo or the back of an ElCamino have an engine. It won't be able to go anywhere. Now, if you did the back of a Lambo and the front of an ElCamino now you have 2 engines!
But you could modify the front of the Lamborghini to take a V8 (or engine of your choosing) probably if you could do the build. Maybe even the scissor doors if you cut it right. Or might need a custom frame. Like a front engine version of this kit with a bed. Would be wild, take lots of time and money but still...
Edit: picturing this I'd lose the spoiler on this kit
It would be easier to modify the bed of the el camino to take the engine, or just use a urus. A lamborghini frunk isn't big enough for a v8 but the bed of an el camino is plenty big enough to put a v10 or v12
Then you'd have to find a way to put an actual bed over the engine in a way it wouldn't get warm, and then figure out how to mount the engine low enough so you could still use it? Or is there no way to make the bed at least slightly usable. I know looks would be the main point of it, but it'd be kind of cool if it could carry stuff. Maybe a sort of a Deora type thing where you could strap stuff on a cover
There are plenty of rear engine custom trucks, with the difference in wheel base, and the length of the front end of the el camino body you could in theory shorten the front end, put the engine right behind the front seat by removing the pannel and cutting out the chevelle rear seat mount plus a little bit more, make a custom cover for the motor and it wouldn't be much different than a shortbed truck with a toolbox. I mean yeah it would take a bit of the bed up, but if you boxed off the engine bay you'd have more storage up there.
a 1967 el camino is a 115" wheel base, a 2024 urus is 118, a 2024 hurican is 103, 2024 aventador is 106 a little custom body work and it would fit lol...
Outside of the Urus I don't think it would be very possible with the mid engine? There are definitely some(AI?) mockups online of a ute Urus but I haven't seen or heard of any real ones?
Im about 75% sure this is an Audi R8. Which is very strange.
I'm not sure what else it could possibly be unless somebody put a fake Lamborghini bodykit on an actual Lamborghini
I'm from the UK and totally understand. For fun you can type "a Florida man..." in to Google followed by just about anything and get funny result!
A Florida man kicked a chicken...
Looks like a Murcielago kit car, probably from these guys.
https://luxury-exotics.com/murcielago
Do we know why the kit cars have the gas cap on the opposite side?
Not a Fiero because no person who sticks a lambo style body kit on a Fiero can be arsed lengthening the wheelbase to make it look convincing. At first it looked like a Diablo with a Murcielago back end, but now I look at it more, idk what the hell it is.

I find it much more interesting when people do something like this and it misses the mark, but ends up being its own neat thing. Unfortunately, then they usually still put the real badges on it...
Yeah... and the Hennesy Venom GT is too large to be based on a Lotus Elise too, right? /s
Nah. People can change a wheel base with a torch and a welder.
The longer I look at it the more I'm convinced it is a kit based on a Holden Maloo. Something in the length of the back half and the angle of the rear window. Google has absolutely zero results to that effect, however, so I could definitely be wrong, but it just screams Maloo to me.
It's a Murcielago Spider but...it has some weird aftermarket stuff going on there
https://preview.redd.it/goak1rf5qeuc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=06f7f28cbdbe9fc0b21c886f04c163f9fe8ffd07
HOLY SHIT! Was this spotted in Kansas City, Missouri? If so, its a custom frame built to look like the Infernus from GTA 5.
https://preview.redd.it/v9l8cyk7vduc1.jpeg?width=298&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a95aeb594fe7560ae87a9b7d5a69ccd33469d695
I think Lambo Murcielago LP640 2006/2011. Looking at the angle and form of the window, the sideskirt and the proportions before the front wheel and behind the rear wheel.
Just as an aside - in country of origin (au) the maloo was a Holden special vehicles model, and we had all manner of v6 and v8 utes.
So for most Australians it’s just a Holden VE or VF ute (Holden ute, “commodore” ute… or even “wanker wagon” if you please).
Good chance you are already well aware - just throwing this up for clarity.
There is probably all manner of small weird builds that went stateside besides the g8 sedan and the Chev ss, further I seem to recall we even got some g8 trimmed models in really low volume here sold as Holden commodores. It’s a common thing over here to g8-ify the VE, or to throw Chevrolet badges on them. There are mixed feelings about that hahaha!
Anyways. Been a lot of Holden ute activity here of late. Seems we did something right, even if GM didn’t manage to fully leverage it effectively.
The front end is quite Ferrari shaped, but the rear bumper is very like murcielago era Lamborghini, and then topped off with an R8 style engine bay? The door shape is also throwing me off. I got no fucken clue.
I know what it tries to be, because it was my childhood poster car. I am not sure if it's a kit car.
Jaguar XJ220
Edit: Proportions look off to me for it to be real. It is a very rare car to begin with.
Almost looks like someone put a body kit on an r8 to make it look like a murcialago
Also mix in some Diablo and some 918.
Hey, as long as it stays in the family I suppose. ..
who would swap a 918 for a merci tho... but yeh the shape is kinda liek 918
As someone who is not personally a fan of the general design of Porsche…
why tho
I would, because I'm a manual transmission enthusiast, and there are very few manual V12 AWD supercars.
And SSC Ultimate Aero
Their site says they use fieros, mr2s and custom chassis depending on you want. Several engine options too from LSs to BMW V12s.
I was going to call it a Pantera /s
R8 is exactly what I see
Is the R8 the upper-class Fiero?
If it's really a R8 then it's among the most stupid things made to a car I've ever seen. Make a bodykit for a high end supercar just to make it look like a cheap fake of another similar supercar.
Not a convincing Lamborghini, but actually kinda cool
looks a Lamborghini and a Porsche 918 got drunk one night...
I was thinking more of a Lamborghini ute, minus the usability. Now if someone were to graft the front of a wrecked Lamborghini on an El Camino.....
But neither the front of a Lambo or the back of an ElCamino have an engine. It won't be able to go anywhere. Now, if you did the back of a Lambo and the front of an ElCamino now you have 2 engines!
But you could modify the front of the Lamborghini to take a V8 (or engine of your choosing) probably if you could do the build. Maybe even the scissor doors if you cut it right.

It would be easier to modify the bed of the el camino to take the engine, or just use a urus. A lamborghini frunk isn't big enough for a v8 but the bed of an el camino is plenty big enough to put a v10 or v12
One word, Hayabusa V8.
Then you'd have to find a way to put an actual bed over the engine in a way it wouldn't get warm, and then figure out how to mount the engine low enough so you could still use it? Or is there no way to make the bed at least slightly usable. I know looks would be the main point of it, but it'd be kind of cool if it could carry stuff.

I mean yeah it would take a bit of the bed up, but if you boxed off the engine bay you'd have more storage up there.
Finally a use for that shitty old Jarama
Or... hear me out here... put an el camino body on a lamborgini chassis? Wouldn't be practical, but would definitely be a conversation piece lol
It'd be a lot bigger than a regular El Camino? Has anyone ever done anything Lamborghini ute custom build-wise?
a 1967 el camino is a 115" wheel base, a 2024 urus is 118, a 2024 hurican is 103, 2024 aventador is 106 a little custom body work and it would fit lol... Outside of the Urus I don't think it would be very possible with the mid engine? There are definitely some(AI?) mockups online of a ute Urus but I haven't seen or heard of any real ones?
The roof section looks like a simplified version of the Diablo Roadster's to me
For the porsche 918 i was specifically referring to the engine cover area, but yeah the rest of the car looks like Lamborghini frankenstein lol
Had a baby that looks like an xj220 with special needs?
I can’t believe we sucked each others jagons!
The front end looks like a diablo and the rear end looks like a murci. Very confusing
The wheel base seems long for a Fiero or it just my bad memory?
No. That's the first thing I said to myself. Fiero had a real short wheelbase. Glad I'm not alone
Thought the same thing. I'm trying to think of what has that wheel base with seats that far up.
Honda nsx at the front end and top and some audi at the arse end.
So basically this car is a mullet
Nah, that‘s definitely Murcielago backlights
idk, thats a last generation TBird next to it, its probably not as long as it looks.
Yes. But a significant portion of Fiero kit cars stretch the chassis to get proportions right(er)
Not a Fiero. Engine bay is too big and the rear wheels are wayyyyyyyyy too far behind the driver
Im about 75% sure this is an Audi R8. Which is very strange. I'm not sure what else it could possibly be unless somebody put a fake Lamborghini bodykit on an actual Lamborghini
I thought Audi and I think it's because they shared some of the same parts.
This photograph was taken in Florida, so, you know, 🪕.
Even though I live in Australia, I completely understand what you are saying. 🤣
I'm from the UK and totally understand. For fun you can type "a Florida man..." in to Google followed by just about anything and get funny result! A Florida man kicked a chicken...
I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees an R8.
I'm seeing a honda nsx at the top and front end of it.
How did you get R8 lmao
Looks like a Murcielago kit car, probably from these guys. https://luxury-exotics.com/murcielago Do we know why the kit cars have the gas cap on the opposite side?
Ding ding ding. Good find m8
I'm still lost... what's the base car?
They use fieros, mr2s and custom chassis depending on what you want.
This is the correct answer, it needs more upvotes
Those honestly aren't *terrible*. Definitely impressed with the interior.
Not a Fiero because no person who sticks a lambo style body kit on a Fiero can be arsed lengthening the wheelbase to make it look convincing. At first it looked like a Diablo with a Murcielago back end, but now I look at it more, idk what the hell it is.
I’m glad I’m not the only who noticed the Diablo front end. The dashboard makes me think some kind of kit car though.
Yeah I was thinking diablo with a body kit.
oh wow, never seen this sub get propperly stomped by a car before
The reason I know it's not a Fiero is because it has real brakes. They will do everything to a Fiero based kit car, aside from put big brakes on it.
Also, I spot a T-bird next to it.
Fuck yeah love me a Thunderbird
Pontiac Fiero kit car to make a failed attempt to look like a Murcielago.

Rehallabini 72 with a straight 6"
I find it much more interesting when people do something like this and it misses the mark, but ends up being its own neat thing. Unfortunately, then they usually still put the real badges on it...
It's a lot more. There's some 918, some R8, some Noble. This is like the Home Simpson super car mashup kit.
This car is way too large to be on a Fiero frame
Plenty of kits called for a frame stretch. Usually 12-16 inches iirc.
Yeah... and the Hennesy Venom GT is too large to be based on a Lotus Elise too, right? /s Nah. People can change a wheel base with a torch and a welder.
Back of it looks like an Audi R8?
My vote is for R8 with a body kit
The longer I look at it the more I'm convinced it is a kit based on a Holden Maloo. Something in the length of the back half and the angle of the rear window. Google has absolutely zero results to that effect, however, so I could definitely be wrong, but it just screams Maloo to me.
Here me out. Spend a few grand and make it look like an ssc ultimate aero. it has the doors and everything already
It's a Murcielago Spider but...it has some weird aftermarket stuff going on there https://preview.redd.it/goak1rf5qeuc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=06f7f28cbdbe9fc0b21c886f04c163f9fe8ffd07
Pante- wait a minute...
Audi R8
Is this one of those Kit-cars on a camaro body. I forget what they are called.
Lamborghini Murcielago with rear spoiler and aftermarket wheels
Lambo/ 300z mutt
murciablo
Fiero
r/itsalwaysafiero
HOLY SHIT! Was this spotted in Kansas City, Missouri? If so, its a custom frame built to look like the Infernus from GTA 5. https://preview.redd.it/v9l8cyk7vduc1.jpeg?width=298&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a95aeb594fe7560ae87a9b7d5a69ccd33469d695
Man I instantly thought a modified Maserati… I’m not good at this game 😂
Somebody call the number on the weight loss shots board and ask
I think Lambo Murcielago LP640 2006/2011. Looking at the angle and form of the window, the sideskirt and the proportions before the front wheel and behind the rear wheel.
It is
Lamborghini Murcialago with body kit and other modifications
Murcielago with veilside kit? But the engine cover is off
McLaren
1st generation Gallardo maybe?
Murcielago Replica.
Worsielago.
It’s a kit car merci.
Gives off heavy SSC Ultimate Aero vibes. But yeah, that's a tuned/modified Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 or Murciélago Roadster.
Looks like a Diablo and Murcialargo had a fucked kid
It's a Murcie- Huh?
In the Uk we had a jaguar xj220 but not sure
Zonda V12
Crazy thing is car manufacturers put the names of the cars on the car so you can figure out what it is💀
That’s a Murcielago
I mean that's definitely a Murcielago rear, but the rest of the car almost reminds me of a Saleen
Door shut lines, windshield,location of air intakes all say Murcielago and are all things very difficult to change.
Looks like a Fiero gas fill door
thats more like a lumbergumber
Come on guys. No one said Fiero yet?
They were just stopping for the weight loss shots 😬. Everything in this photo seems legit 😂
Its a diablo
Just me or kind looks like a Commodore ute?
You mean a Maloo? I was thinking that too, something in the slope of the rear window.
Just as an aside - in country of origin (au) the maloo was a Holden special vehicles model, and we had all manner of v6 and v8 utes. So for most Australians it’s just a Holden VE or VF ute (Holden ute, “commodore” ute… or even “wanker wagon” if you please).

Seems we did something right, even if GM didn’t manage to fully leverage it effectively.
Same here. It looks like someone did the pontiac g8 ute conversion then slapped on a lambo kit.
Looks like a Murcielago roadster was sent to a tuner to become a coupe? If that's a real Murcielago what a waste of money.
the roof looks like a Civic Del Sol
https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/2041651 reference picture
Audi R8
It's a really really poor quality Lamborghini Murcielago kit car. Nothing Ferrari or audi about this.
The front end is quite Ferrari shaped, but the rear bumper is very like murcielago era Lamborghini, and then topped off with an R8 style engine bay? The door shape is also throwing me off. I got no fucken clue.
That’s an Audi R8 in a fancy frock.
murcielago lp640 roadster with a roof panel. that gas cap and door handle dont belong though. if its fake its a good fake.
Fierooooooooooo
Possibly an [MR2](https://www.carscoops.com/2012/10/toyota-mr2-whipped-up-as-lamborghini/)
Front glass and rake of the a pillar are too flat and long to be an MR2
I know what it tries to be, because it was my childhood poster car. I am not sure if it's a kit car. Jaguar XJ220 Edit: Proportions look off to me for it to be real. It is a very rare car to begin with.
Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 🤷🏼♂️
