    Homemade supercar.

    Hope it isn't a repost.

    Before you laugh, keep in mind that this guy built this by himself (mostly) and from scratch (mostly).







    A new "supercar" has emerged out of Northern Italy that was singlehandedly built by a car enthusiast by the name of Filandri Moreno. Dubbed the Uragano (Italian for Hurricane), the car has taken up every spare hour of the 47-year-old’s time for the past four years. The entire car is fabricated from hand, and not just the panels and body but even the brakes, suspension and steering system were all built personally by Moreno.
    In fact the only thing not built by Moreno is the Audi sourced 4.2L V8 engine, which was sourced from a decade-old A8 sedan. Not many people can claim that they have built an entire car - but the car’s eye-catching looks and mechanics (apart from the engine) are entirely the work of a single man, representing a rather monumental achievement.
    There are no plans to put the Uragano into production as the supercar was built not for financial gain, but rather to suit the sentimental dreams of Moreno, who wanted a supercar that he had built all by himself.

    I wonder why he didnt paint/powdercoat the chassis. Seems like that's something pretty important.

                There is a little Lambo in the side of the car too.

                  I like the styiling, but it needs paint.

                        It's not ugly in a good way, either.
                        Not that I care, of course.

                            very impressive work, but i dont like the styling at all. the lights are too low to be useful, the ass is ugly, the tail lights look like dumb and the sharp edges on the doors and for the cooling are not so good.

                            I wonder what the interior looks like, all custom hand made has the possibility of looking really bad...
