Chop the top off a Lamborghini Aventador, give it a hot rod-style makeover, and you get this futuristic-looking carbon fiber vehicle. Created by Pawel Wisniewski and his friend Jans Slapins, this design draws inspiration from Formula 1 cars, the Plymouth Cuda, the Vought F4U Corsair and believe it or not, a 1960s-era refrigerator. It's powered by a twin-turbocharged V8, mated to a sequential 6-speed transmission. One thing we do know about its suspension is that the wheels have built-in brake rotors.
If Lamborghini was to ditch its fixation with mid-engined supercar-things and instead build a rat rod, how would such a bizarre creation look?
A little something like this, according to designers Pawel Wisniewski and Jans Slapins, the dual forces behind the strange, terrifying Lamborghini Rat Rod.
This is not, we should make abundantly clear, an official Lamborghini project. Instead, it’s Wisniewski and Slapins’ imaginating of what might happen if the distant worlds of Sant’Agata and rat-roddery ever collided.
Quite a thing, isn’t it? Though it exists in nothing more than virtual form, we’re told the hypothetical Lambo-rod is constructed of carbon fibre, and fitted with a bi-turbo small-block V8 (what, no V12?), feeding the wheels through a six-speed sequential box.
