I think it's pretty awesome. :rofl:

[inline6turbo]

No engine or mounting pics? Wtf mang

[2Valve0]

This guy is a complete idiot though....:banghead:

[JustinGTP]

So they took a good Lambo and made it into a Ford? What a waste.

[R-Audi]

They took what was a 'parts car' Lambo ie. Written off and transferred the engine and drivetrain to a ford shell...

[A790]

Well if it was a write off it's a cool project, but if the lambo was in perfect condition this is a crime lol :banghead:

[GQBalla]

took a lot of work, but damn must sound nice

too each and their own.

i wonder what people would say if they made it look like a civic? ahah

[Shlade]

wow the mid engine design is soooo sick!

I HATE the rear tho!

[scat19]

Gross rear, cool transplant.

[AutodreamMarvin]

"What we have here depends entirely on how you view the universe. A few things are undeniable: The fabrication is impressive, the attention to detail staggering. It is like that time you saw that gorgeous, six-foot-tall blonde in line at the grocery, heard her surprisingly deep voice, and then noticed she had an Adam's apple. You want to look away, but you can't. And whether or not you like the end product, you cannot help but admire the effort that produced it."

OMFG... this made me lol.

Seriously though, I'd drive it.

[5000Audi]

its better then a fiero Lambo with a 2.4L inline4 lol...

i think its pretty awesome!!

*****EDIT*****

found moar pics...

[PremiumRSX]

lol the rear end is interesting to say the least

[spike98]

Amazing fabrication! I think its fantastic!

That being said, i wouldnt drive it due to the ugly booootttyyy

[soloracer]

Quite the job to put it all together. Although I'm willing to bet that it would have been cheaper to just go and get a good Gallardo - especially if you consider all the time involved.

There is a Mustang here in Calgary that I have seen at a few shows that was built by Western Motorsports and has an Aston Martin V12 in it. Pretty cool too.

[strong]

Speechless and not sure if its good way or bad:dunno:


Tons of fab work and definitly one of a kind make it semi cool but still....... so unsure of what to think of this Fieroarri creation.


I bet Carol Shelby is even confused

[Skrilla]

Wow that rear is..well....:barf: :barf:

[VWEvo]

I love the comment, "Would have been better as an Aerostar"

Love to see pics

[911fever]

i hate the rear end but its done proper.

[Rat Fink]

.

[Wrinkly]

Amazing job - ugly ass though!

And WTF does that badge say? Looks like "Tractorri" to me :dunno:

[dirtsniffer]

^^ haha correct. but i liked mustardo more. The ass end is ugly, but im going to assume that everyone agrees on that. the logical explanation is they needed to put all that venting back there so that engine heat can dissipate. no need to put that v10 in there if it cant operate in the optimal temp range

[95EG6P]

Something I wouldn't do but it should sound really nice. :D

This was from World of Wheels '07, didn't take pics of the whole thing, just the engine. It's on their website though

[GT.....O?]

that rear end if aaaaawwwwful

[spikerS]

I don't even mind the back and all that much. function over form right?

I give massive thumbs up for doing this project. he did it the way he wanted to, and drives it. 1500miles last summer.

Just think, if everyone thought outside of the box, we could have some pretty sweet rides around, instead of these civics and bmws that look like every other civic and bmw.

1 of a kind car, that no one would have thought of before this. there are lots of kits to turn Fieros into lambos, but these guys thought outside of the box, and did the reverse, and put the time and effort and more than likely TONS of cash to make it happen.

This is an example of a TRUE enthusiast, not like the 95% of the sheep on Beyond.

Wow, look at that corvette!


To me, this Mustang-Lambo is the equivalent of turning a fiero in to a kit-lambo, except with more money poured into it. How can you feel good driving that? Sure for people not in-the-know they might think its cool, but to most car enthusiasts its a joke.

LOL @ that logic.

So if I spend thousands of dollars modifying my dell laptop to look like a macbook, and then finish it off with a nice apple logo - while still running XP - does that make me a "True enthusiast", rather than just a complete moron?

Yes, it does.

In this case, he really likes the look of the mustang, and made it work with the internals of a lambo. He took the time, the money and the dedication to realize his goal, and be damned what some snot nosed punks in their parents basement think while posting on a forum.

that is the definition of an enthusiast, but then again, your comprehension skills have reared thier ugly head again, so for your benefit:

Taken from Dictionary.com

en⋅thu⋅si⋅ast  /ɛnˈθuziˌæst, -ɪst/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [en-thoo-zee-ast, -ist] Show IPA
–noun 1. a person who is filled with enthusiasm for some principle, pursuit, etc.; a person of ardent zeal: a sports enthusiast.

[Pollywog]

Yea, I suppose the "95% of the sheep on beyond" aren't enthusiasts, but merely people with good taste.

:facepalm:

Edit: on a serious note, how are the majority of us not true enthusiasts? We fall under your definition, but it seems that simply because we don't share the same passion to see shit covered in gold foil that we are automatically "sheep" with no valid point. The car posted in this thread is tackier than my grandparents drapes.

thats fine, but it is your opinion. You might not like the car, but someone else does, and they spent the time and effort and obviously the cash to make thier vision a reality.

I call 95% of the people on here sheep as they are only modding thier cars so that other people will think it is cool, and in turn, they become cool.


Very few people on this site make thier car their own by chosing mods that they like. I have heard the comments myself, "hey that wing looks cool" only to hear the reply "what are you, some sort of ricer?" and in turn the person does not get to explore options because they want to be "cool" and not stand out, just like an individual sheep in a flock.



Yea, I suppose the "95% of the sheep on beyond" aren't enthusiasts, but merely people with good taste.

No, that is your good taste, and what the "in crowd" likes so they can stay cool and not stand out. But i am glad you know what is right for someone else. You may not like it, but who the fuck cares. You are not driving it every day and enjoying your creation.

The in crowd wants a clean and stock looking civic. god that is boring. I can see 50 of them every time I pass the dealership.

8-9 years ago when underglow and wings and wide body kits were all the rage made a car stand out, really made you turn your head. We all might have been outta our heads and taken it too far, but now everyone has gone to the other extreme and no nothing stands out.

It's not as though he took a pristine Lambo, a pristine Mustang, and put them all together with gaffer tape and wood screws.

He took two otherwise unusable parts cars and turned them into one, VERY functional car.

I don't see the problem here. You guys are acting like he destroyed a Lamborghini to turn it into a Ford. He took a dead Ford and a dead Lambo and made a Lamfordghini, which is what the decal should have said. Either that, or Traditore, which is the Italian word for "Traitor".

[403Gemini]

lol you guys cant read


Building this monstrosity took one Mustang shell, one Mustang parts car, one Lamborghini Gallardo parts car, and several thousand hours of labor.

It's not like he took a new Gallardo and chopped it apart. Probably was in a collision or something. Isn't this what being a car enthusiast is about? Taking something and making it better?

I think it's an awesome project
