This Pontiac Trying to be a Lamborghini Aventador is the Worst Thing You'll See Today
This Pontiac Trying to be a Lamborghini Aventador is the Worst Thing You'll See Today-March 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:45

When the was launched in 2011, folks around the world had to applaud the Italian company for crafting a car that could knock out zero to 60 mph in less than three seconds. Since then, it’s been a favorite of exotic car collectors—and even, uh, some who don’t quite have the means to get the real thing.

Which is how we get of the Aventador. It’s as bad as it sounds.

Found on Craigslist for a whopping $22,500, this bad boy is... well, bad—but not in the good way. It was a good try to make something awesome out of a pretty standard car, but, man. It’s hard to turn a GTO into the far-sleeker Lambo, no matter how desperately you try. In this case, we’re talking a Lamborghini inscription under the passenger side airbag and an angled center console that kind of I guess looks sort of like something you’d find in a Lambo.

Other than that, it’s still a 2004 GTO frame/body, which is a far cry from anything you’d call exotic. It’s got all the original drivetrain and electronics, plus a fake mid-engine because the real engine is, as you would imagine, in the front. According to the owner, it “runs and drives great. All power”. I don’t know if I’m quite convinced.

But, hell, if you’re in the market for a different-looking Pontiac, then we’ve got just the thing for you.

For $4,500, Be Three, White, And E21
For $4,500, Be Three, White, And E21
A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same both forwards and backwards - for example never odd or even. Today's E21 is novel in the U.S. as its a 323i which is both even and odd as well as palindromic. The question is, which way will you...

Audi S7: First Drive
Audi S7: First Drive
I like the Audi A7. But I've always felt that although the 310 HP 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine is more than capable for a highway cruiser, it just makes me thirsty for terrible jokes about how the car could have had a V8. Now there's this — the 2013 Audi...

For $16,999, Send In The Clone
For someone whose mantra was adding lightness to make his cars go faster, Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman sure was weighted down by his hefty moniker. Today's home-built homage goes simply by Seven, but does it carry a price tag that's way too heavy? Hydrox is a cookie, Hilux is a...

For $24,000, That’s A Lot Of Bull
For $24,000, That’s A Lot Of Bull
In Spanish Espada means sword, a reference to the weapon with which bullfighters deliver the coup de grâce to their bovine opponents. Today's 400GT is a graceful coupe, but does its price make you think its seller is full of bull? In movies the second act is usually the dullest,...

Women Don't Like American Cars
A new study about the car-buying habits of men and women shows that, while men tend to buy a mix of foreign and domestic vehicles, only two of the twenty cars purchased by females were from American brands. Interestingly, the top pick for women has changed from last year's New...

Scion FR-S: First Drive
Scion FR-S: First Drive
If Scion sold cars like drug dealers sold drugs, they'd be giving away little bits of the FR-S in baggies to everyone they see. They'd have local news channels running panic stories on the " problem." Keith Richards would be trying to snort one off Anita Pallenberg's naked behind. Yes,...
