You cannot use conventional insurance for kit cars. In fact, you will most likely find it very difficult to get insurance covering the vehicle ,at all, from any insurer (you can get a liability policy that covers your damage to others without issue). Your only bet for kit car insurance that covers the vehicle itself is a few companies that target the ‘collector’ demographic. These insurers do not particularly care what you classify the car as, they do not write policies the way that major auto insurers do using the model of the car to help set an appropriate premium. Instead, these types of insurers provide a “stated value” coverage. They will cover the vehicle up to the value that you prescribe to it, and they will charge a premium that is appropriate. These insurers will generally only write policies for nicer kit cars and will often require a physical inspection to insure that the car is safe to operate and that its build-quality matches up to the value that you are stating that it is worth.
I am sorry but this is one of the worst question I’ve seen in Quora. Not only because is a bad decision economically and not very smart. I dont think anybody would buy a Lambo Body kit and put it in a Subaru. If you are asking if you want to buy the body kit to install in another Lambo it needs to be for the Hurucan which is the base for the Super trofeo evo and yes you can do that many done that in the past.
Here is a place to start. I have never contacted any of these people, so I don’t know anything about whether the businesses are reliable or whether their kits are good quality. there are some very good kit car manufacturers and there are also some horror stories about kit car companies. Buyer beware. Lambo Kits
Both. You can buy the kit, buy the donor car, then assemble the kit to get a fully functional kit car. That would be the body kit type. Or you could just purchase a completed kit car from the first example. Neither is remotely considered a “replica.
Register it with the DMV as a kit car, replica car. California has SB100 that allows you register these types of cars. Once it’s registered with DMV you can drive it legally on the road. There are many insurance companies that will insure you as well. Just put “other” as car and some agreed upon value. Registration + insurance and you’re good to go. To sell it as a genuine Lamborghini would be fraud. Sell it as a replica. What you’re doing is not new or unique, lots of people do kit/replica cars. Of course they actually build it and don’t have a secret magic machine to clone any car they want.
Car people were once car kids, with posters of Lambo's, Ferrari's and Porsche's on our walls. I still look at cars the same way as when I was 9. Making a kit car is a way to bring that dream of the super car to life through your own hard work. It's mimicking the great ones. I love kit cars, they're not perfect by design. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. And I can afford a Lamborghini.
Just don't. It'll look tacky and will absolutely not match. You'd do better by speccing out the interior than the exterior.
What you are asking about is commonly referred to as a “kit car”. In the 70s and 80s there were several popular kit cars based on the Volkswagen Beetle. The simple, rear-engine design made it easy to cover with a fiberglass body. There are still kit car bodies that fit on chassis like a Porsche Boxster or Toyota MR2 like this Lamborghini Murcielago kit: Found at Car-from-UK.com It’s also common, especially around Hollywood, to see older Porsche 911s modified to look like newer Porsche 911s. The “action” scenes in most movies aren’t occurring at full speed. So a Porsche that can drive at 50MPH will film just as good as a Porsche that can drive at 150MPH. And there are companies that make original bodies as kits, such as the FactoryFive 818 which is built around a Subaru WRX drivetrain:
I had exactly this plan as a programmer when I was 22, though I started by earning a lot less ($42,000 a year at Microsoft). Within 10 years, I owned a Lamborghini Diablo SV and realized that dream. Literally the very one below. Along the way, I learned a bunch of stuff. All in all, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend it if it's of interest to you. But you need to go into it with eyes wide open. First of all, I'm not sure I believe all the detractors who say this is a terrible financial decision. I bought my Lamborghini during the 2008 recession (it was a repo from Vegas), and sold it several years later at a profit. This includes all maintenance costs. So at least for me, I got to enjoy a great car while making a bit of money from it. Second, realize that you are making a whole lot of money, especially compared to the median family income in the US. This should enable you to do this sort of thing if it's important to you. A fully loaded Tesla P85D will cost more than your typical Diablo, and a Porsche Turbo S will cost you more than even used Murcie's, much less Gallardos and the like. So your plan is imminently achievable if you set your mind to it. Third, I'm not sure I agree with folks who say that this will ruin your life, or that it will be a poor substitute for true happiness. What's important is that you don't confuse owning a Lambo with the important and profound challenge of finding a meaning for your life. As an enjoyment, I found it quite pleasurable, and it gave me a great sense of achievement to know that I had set a goal for myself and accomplished it through my own hard work. I did not for a moment confuse it with some sort of provision for a deeper meaning in my life; nor did I confuse it with the very real happiness that comes from meaningful relationships. I question those who claim that the goal of owning a Lambo is in itself necessarily bad. In addition to the pleasure of having achieved a lifelong goal, I also found Lambo ownership to provide a variety of other unexpected benefits: I learned how to change a clutch in a Lamborghini, which requires that you pull the engine and transmission entirely out of the vehicle., This, I assure you, could not have been done before the time of the Internet, with its many forums for DIY Lambo owners. Doing this job myself, and experiencing that tense moment when you first crank the engine again after reassembling the whole car back together, was the top mechanical triumpth of my life so far. I came to appreciate the natural beauties of my other car – a Honda S2000., The Lambo, with all its power, felt a bit like a tank with a rocket engine strapped to it. Whenever you floored it, you took your life into your own hands – in both the thrilling and the scary sense of those words. The S2000, on the other hand, was always a pleasure to drive. It had a perfect balance of nimbleness with just the right sized engine, and a shifter that bordered on sublime. In other words, owning the Lambo helped me appreciate other cars as well. It restored my faith in American ingenuity., Around two years into my professional life, I knew that I couldn't afford a real Lamborghini outright. So I instead looked into kit cars. At the time, I visited a father and son team building fake Lamborghinis out in Richland, Washington. They excitedly claimed to me, from within their tiny two-car garage, that they were secretly working on creating their own supercar. I found this quite hard to believe under the circumstances, so I chalked it up to the type of hubris that many kit car manufacturers were throwing about back then. Imagine my surprise when I saw the same father and son on Jay Leno's Garage several years later showing off their Shelby Ultimate Aero. They had done it – they had created the world's fastest supercar, which for a few years was even faster than a Bugatti Veyron. These days, when someone tells me that they're chasing some crazy dream, I give them a bit more benefit of the doubt. Initiative and ambition go a long way toward success. I experienced the pleasure of fulfilling other people's dreams., I remember the time I let a 65-year-old drive the Lamborghini – something he never expected he'd experience in his lifetime. I remember when a five-year-old came up to me at a gas station clutching a red model Lamborghini Diablo in his hand. Letting him sit in the driver's seat of a real red Lamborghini Diablo was tremendously rewarding. I raised money for charities several times by donating rides in the car. You don't have to be a snobby owner – you can be a generous one. It'll make a huge difference in your experience of ownership. I was thrilled the day I bought a Lamborghini, not because if its exclusivity or expense, but because it represented something much more meaningful to me – the attainment of a lifelong dream, forged by my own hard work. The joy of owning it didn't fade, at least not for me. But I think that's because I had different goals going into it. Since I bought it 10 years used, it did involve a lot of repairs, many of which I did myself. These were at the time quite frustratingly time-consuming... but the alternative is to pay through the nose for the dealership to gouge you. In hindsight, some of these repairs were tremendouly rewarding; there's a great satisfaction in driving a vehicle you restored yourself. My advice: Buy used,. These things tend to depreciate like a rock their first few years, then stabilize. Believe you can,. A used model often costs less than other cars you commonly see on the road. You can definitely do this, especially on your salary. Just save up a few years. Don't confuse it with the meaning of life,. Maintain perspective... it's just a car. A very cool car – but a car. Enjoy it in good health and share it with others., As trite as it might sound, my highlights from ownership all involve sharing it with others who might not have the same opportunities. Well, that, and the occasional I've-probably-taken-this-curve-a-wee-too-fast moments. ;) Hit me up below if you have more questions. I'd love to help make this happen for you. And for kicks and giggles, here's a gratuitous engine-out photo from my garage: [,EDIT,] To the original asker: I'm getting back into the brand, and have placed a deposit on a 2017 Aventador SV. I'd like for you to have a chance to drive it if you're interested. Please reach out to me to arrange. (I can't tell who you are, because the question is anonymous).
Your best bet would be a kit or doing some DIY, just like Ken Imhoff did in his cellar: You just have to be a bit more careful because he had to break the wall to get the car out of the cellar But the end result was very very good Source: The Man Who ,Built The Ultimate Lamborghini Replica In His Basement Man Hand-Builds Lamborghini Countach in His own Basement!
