Don't cry for me Gandini

Re-bodied Diablo from Argentina

---

The Alar - once a Diablo

Take one Lamborghini Diablo, hand over around £380,000, and you too could own an orange ‘Alar’ like the one in the pictures. Hmmm.

The Alar is the latest work from Joan Ferci in Argentina. Still, if it's not your thing, there's always their earlier efforts, the Eros GT-1 or Coatl…

£380,000 and the price of a Diablo	We'll take the one on the left, please
Eros GT-1. Er....	Is that a Lexus-style light conversion?

 

[jaycee72]

who buys these things?

[rapid rental]

that is vile, you would have to pay me £380,000 to be seen in that thing!.

[jaykaybi]

What a hideous abomination. I dislike it intensely.

It looks, and I can't think of a better word, stupid.
And the price! Quite how daft you'd need to be is unthinkable!

I'm off to find a thread about attractive ladies or something...

My Eyes .. my eyes .....

[hellrot_e34]

jesus, a great way of spending a lot of money making an actual diablo look like a crappy kit car trying to look like a diablo.......

[dank]

Total crap, why spoil the original!!!!!????

I'd like to know wy someone would pay that for someone to ruin their car!!!

[Vodka Margarine]

But...but the Diablo is one of my favorite cars

I wouldn't have the heart to do that to a Lambo.

[smele]

It does look like one of the better executions of a front wing on a car that I have seen recently. Does it generate positive downforce?

[kingb]

jesus
why do little operations like this one feel they can do better than a massive company like lambo who have experience making beautiful car and have made on in the diablo

[TonyHetherington]

How do these companies stay in business?!

[andyinpembs]

reminds me of that Calibra based 911 lookalike last week

[skint_driver]

I understand his next project is an MR2-replica kit for a Ferrari 348.

[pharle]

It looks like it has a cleft palate. Rancid!

[j-j]

Maybe his parents didn't pay him enough attention... IDIOT!!!!

[mkgriff]

I really like it. Ford Focus ST meets Halfrauds meets Ripspeed. The rear visibility must be improved also.

Just kidding

[hendry]

I think that car is at least half-Klingon.

Seriously, they can have the Falklands back if they just aggree to stop vandalising Lamborghinis.

[waynepixel]

HAhahaha, what a ing disaster, it look like a chav has got his pencil out and done some moding.

[RobPhoboS]

Slightly biased opinions from the ed.

[crikeymikey]

The only possible justification (IMO) for changing Marcello's original look would be if you already had a banged up Diablo and wanted to make something visually different out of it. Then, perhaps, this is one solution.

But £380K? Please! If you wanted something different, you can pick up an EB110 for £150K (and that had a carbon tub). Why the hell would you pay 3 times that for a bastardised Diablo?

I can only imagine this is some sort of publicity exercise. They sure as heck aren't going to sell any. Especially in Argentina. They have beautifull women and beautifull horses. Can't see 'em lapping up a mongrel.

[iluvmercs]

Hand me a bucket

Thats just wrong...why mess with the nice shape of the Lambo....and for THAT price You should be sectioned if you pay for it!
