We all dream of owning luxury cars one day. Unfortunately, there is a huge cost associated to owning brand name cars. Lamborghinis cost on average half a million. Let’s not even talk about Bugattis. Some people decided to overcome the price barrier by just replicating their dream cars. You will be amazed by some of the results.
1. You can buy a Lamborghini Murcielago in China for $65 000 instead of $400 000
The Shanzai Lamborghini
The Toyota MR2
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP64
The “Shanzai Lamborghini” is said to be 99% identical to the original on the outside, and 70% identical to an original Lamborghini interior. In reality, you will be driving a Toyota MR2.
