Ohh dear, dont like the look of that. Out of interest, did Lambo ever produce a roofless version?
Not AFAIK, but a guy did chop the roof off one in Australia in the 80s to race it. Paul Halstead was his name, I think he was too tall to fit with helmet. He also claimed to be the first to fit the delta wing, which Lamborghini then copied...I have some pics somewhere, I raced against him in an endurance race once.

Sad really, isn't it?
There might actually be quite a good car cowering under that hideous mess of wrongness.
Why can't the people who make kit cars just design a different bodyshape for them rather than making something a tiny bit like a Countach or a Diablo?
Presumably they could make a car that goes well, stops well, corners well and sounds right; why do they then have to ruin the whole thing by making bad, bad looking rubbish like this?
There are almost no redeeming features whatsoever and no part of this 'car' looks at all proper.
Actually, it must be Friday afternoon, I'm trying to find a good word to say about a bad kit car...
naaaah, crush the bloody thing, put it out of its obvious misery.

...and again, as I said in that other thread - it's more important to recognise that kit cars remind you of the real deal, if only slightly as here!
This mght sound a little bit pedantic, in which case I'd suggest getting a little closer (physically and indeed mentally!) to a real Lamborghini as opposed to another bit of plakkytakkykwappe!
Often this kind of imitation is NOT the sincerest form of flattery, often these 'things' are just plain cr*p cars for chavs to mess with and have daft ideas about their value or relevance. Lamborghini Club UK has had a few kit car owners join the Club, we don't usually mind (much) but we might encourage a different purchase as soon as possible!
Welcome to PH here - congratulations on buying your Ferrari! I've often thought the Mondial tends to get overlooked by some people, so just enjoy your car and tell us all that otherwise should apply!
It's nearly a sunny day here in Lancashire, if it's the same or brighter near you - go drive!!
