Good post Tusabes! If people cant see the similarities between these two cars they're either blind or in denial LOL! I'm not knocking either car, just pointing out the cars are so close in design that they are easily confused with each other, and what VF1skullangle said was correct.
I love the Aventador, but it looks to much like a Gallardo for me to be crazy about it. I bet a lot of Aventador owners get really p*ssed when their $400K Aventador gets mistaken for a $100K Gallardo!

No, I don't have their tube chassis, I do have the Fiero chassis with the NAERC wide track suspension and big brake kit. It was the first thing I bought when I decided to do a build. Back then they were selling the kit (wide track and big brake) for $4500, plus another $700 for the quick lift option which was crap. If you look in the pics you can see the black airbag, which were fed by a storage tank and small compressor. The problem with the quicklift was that the compressor supplied was so loud and took so long to fill the tank, it seemed like it never stopped running lol! And, the compressor couldn't supply enough pressure to fully inflate the bags, which only gave about a 1 inch lift.
I later (2 years ago) changed it all out with the AUDI front lift system, which gives me a full 2 inch lift.

Man, I thought that automobili Lamborghini built better cars than Jackie.  They were jealous??  Evidently, Lamborghini Inc. never took a close look at Jackie's Merci 4 me.  What's next???? NEED FOR SPEED????  They have what they quote as a Lamborghini Diablo in their e-game.  By the way, do they have any satelites up there? :'( ::scratch :'( :'( ::scratch ::scratch >:( >:( >:(

Jim

It doesn't surprise me if that's why they wanna stop kit's from being made. I sat and started up a real Aventador the same day I went to go see Murcie-Me. I wasn't impressed one bit. The car had worse than GM Quality at a 450k price tag....  My opinion Mike's interior was FAR BETTER. The only aspect the Aventador had the Replica beat was the engine.
You must have fallen and bumped your head. Why would you want to replicate something that you find to be poor quality?
So fiero suspension and brakes are better than the Lamborghini?

If I have fallen and bumped my head then you must be blind.

I was CLEARLY Refering to the interior... I have negged on the design for being a recycled Revention/Gallardo in the past which is what it is. I wouldn't want an Aventador Replica or Real.

Oh Last time I checked Mike's car didn't reuse the Fiero suspension and brakes system. He had NAERC wide track with Corvette Brakes and I can tell you from experience he could out corner a Corvette, A Lotus. And probably be right up there with a real Diablo which all I have had experience with on a track I may add....
That would be the only Fiero chassis with NAERC suspension I've ever heard of.

Heres a few pics of the front (NAERC wide track) suspension on my car, i'll look for  some of the rear also.
Do you have the NAERC chassis too?  I thought that you had a Fiero chassis.

VF1 may not have a replica, but I don't know what that has to do with his comment about the Aventador being very similar to the Gallardo. The fact is, he's right. The Aventador shares the same design elements of the Gallardo, and are often mistaken for each other.
I'm not knocking the Aventador, but the similarities to the Gallardo are undeniable.
The Murcielago was its own design along with the Countach, Diablo, and Gallardo.  None of these cars could be mistaken for the other. The Reventon was just an angular Murcielago.
Many people don't like the Aventador because it is a recycled design of the Gallardo, and not its own. There are to many similarities between the two for a lot of people, and I would have to agree.

Aventador and Gallardo center consoles. Very similar design, same switches and arrangement.
