What would compel us to look over a purple 2000 Lamborghini Diablo VT roadster? Why would we give that car the time of day? Lamborghinis are “once for the experience” kind of cars…most people can’t swing owning one of the raging bulls, and those that do own one of these exclusive sports machines understand that they are temperamental and expensive with a capital letter “F” to deal with when things break. You can romp a Lamborghini, yes…Valentino Balboni made a great living doing that for decades…but if you’ve got to pay for the maintenance, you might be inclined to maybe not give it everything it’s got. Maybe it’s wiser to keep it at about 75%. Okay, maybe you’ll give it 50% on a good empty road.
That’s no way to enjoy a car. “I don’t want to push this thing hard because I don’t want to pay to fix it.” Nah, that sucks. And that brings us to the reason we are actually looking at this Lamborghini clone. Yes, I said it, clone…one that’s packing an LSA in the correct location, out in the back. It is dolled up to look like the 5.7L V-12 that the Diablo would have, and to be fair, you’d have to go over every square inch of the car to find the details that prove this isn’t an original. 
It’s not that we care about originality with this car. We care about usability. At any point you feel like being both a bit showy and a bit of a troll, all you have to do is break out this machine and you can watch little kids go absolutely bonkers for seeing an exotic in person, and you can hear the sound of a world burning as someone goes irate that it’s not a V-12, that it’s a kit car, and that it’s somehow so wrong. And then you can hit the open highway, drop a gear and treat yourself to a full-throttle blast.
