Ultimate Fiero resurrection: Lamborghini Reventon replica

What to do when you want the style of a Lamborghini without the obscene payment? Seek refuge in GM's stunted program of 1980s awesomeness, the Fiero, that's what. Armed with time and skill, a steel fabricator from Canada named Woody has done an incredible job transforming a $60 mid-engined Pontiac wedge into an amazing homage to the Reventon. Obviously talented, the finished Woodighini is going to be incredible, Woody's done a fine job of transferring the Reventon's proportions to the Fiero's chassis.
When you're rocking Sant'Agata styling, you can't make do with an Iron Puke or even the L44 V6. Woody's tucking a hotted-up GM small-block under the engine hatch, fed pressurized atmosphere by a pair of turbos. The blow-through carburetor is a bit too stone age for our tastes, but we're sure it's not going to stand in the way of this car being a wheeled rocket. Flat out amazing work, and it's likely to have the same amount of attention lavished on it by passerby as a real Lamborghini gets; it's sure had as much extreme care in its crafting as anything wearing the Bull.

Is there a supercar a Fiero can't replicate?

Y'know.... I was gonna name some front engined supercar as a witty retort, but I can't think of a single one....

A Fiero-based Ariel Atom replica would be a bit of a stretch... If you consider that a "Supercar"

Atom is a go-kart. Let's develop a working definition of "supercar" that requires the presence of body panels.

Too bad it will weigh a few tons with all this steel.

Man, that looks really good so far, I hope he doesn't keep those black wheel, and gets some deep dish ones. He is putting horsepower in it, nice. I wonder how much a old V12 Lambo engine is?

You might actually be able to find some old Lambo marine engines laying around. Had a buddy with Lambo motors in his Scarab way back in the day.

I wonder if you could use one of those marine lambo engines, there like over 8.0 liter blocks.

Ow...
I know I've seen a bunch of Ferrari replicated Pontiac Fiero, but this guy just proved that with the right skills, you can do anything with that car.
Keep it up dude!

OMG, glass hood. That looks cool. Highly unpractical and thief-friendly... But cool.
