If we talk about radical sports car design, one of the leading brands is certainly Lamborghini. The Italian firm develops an aesthetic cars impossible to overlook, but it also provides a permanent source of inspiration for novice designers.

The same has happened with the Mexican Daniel Chinchilla and Alberto Fernandez, who created the Indomitable Lamborghini supported by the Italian manufacturer itself. It is inspired by the F-22 Raptor (like the Resale ), and liked the product so much that even a U.S. company has bought the rights to manufacture.

This is the company’s 215 Racing (based in Pennsylvania) that will manufacture the model on their own, and although they have the patronage of Lamborghini not be able to put that name at the time to market, will be called Mostro Di-Potenza SF22 .

It shall be provided with an engine of 9.4 liters and eight cylinders in V, with two turbos. Will also have a sequential automatic transmission No 6 speed can reach a speed of 426 km / h.

The obligatory question is can they accomplish all this? The company is not an expert in these matters, and these benefits are not playing anything. But they’re determined to complete the project. Plan to build 50 units of Mostro Di-Potenza SF22 since mid-2012 at a rate of 2 per week.

It will cost 950,000 dollars (about 670,000 euros) and can reserve a copy by paying a thousand dollars. Hopefully this supercar so promising, but uncertain, got to see the light.

Be marketed in a limited number of units, franchised dealers around the world, and has a price that does not seem so exaggerated considering its many virtues: starts from 200,000 euros. Not cheap, of course, but other brands tend to show higher rates for similar vehicles and sometimes even lower.
