Light 'em up: Lamborghini Reventon made from cigarette boxes
Click above to view more images in our high-res gallery.
If you thought that the Lamborghini Reventon with all its origami angles was smokin' hot, you ain't seen nothin' yet. One nicotine-craven gearhead has crafted a model of the most exclusive of Raging Bulls out of nothing but cigarette boxes. Even with the enormous taxes governments place on tobacco products, we doubt the model Reventon approaches the $1.5 million cost of the real thing.
It might not be enough to make Marlboro rethink which Italian supercar-maker it's sponsoring, but it would sit perfectly in a model garage next to the F1 car made out of matchsticks on which we reported previously.

"One nicotine-craven gearhead"? Nicotine-craving, maybe?

Zane, it could be the architect of this amazing creation lives in a Socialist country whose government will do everything he/she needs done. Having life's necessities provided frees up a lot of time otherwise being spent carving out an existence. For this reason the U.S. must elect a raging Socialist so the rest of us will have time to create cars out of paper.

wouldn't that be something if whoever made this gets a free reventon?

That work on the glittery headlight assemblies and front signals is impressive stuff. As is the interior detailing.
I'm glad *someone* does this stuff in their spare time. The Internet would be a lot more boring without random obsessive expression.

With all the people who smoke in China I am sure this guy could have built M1 Abrams if he wanted to!
