Yes, so it's a concept. Like this.

Not quite, it's a one-off special and somebody already bought it. It's like all those special edition Zondas they keep making.

EDIT: While I'm here, Skoda FTW!

Other than the 760RS and the upcoming new 750hp + models, the previous one offs such as the GJ, Absolute, HH, etc. were basically an amalgamation of the F and Cinque parts bin. This Aventador J is quite a custom design.

Yes, I?d love to have one, and it really seems to be in mint condition. But: 80k?, seriously?

 

[D-Fence]

Yup, these only rise in price. Only 502 built and most ruined in motorsports.....and remember, this car was >100.000 DM in 1990.

Silodrome?

Only thing I'd change is to raise it. Bit too low for me.

It's not a real car unless it's been on the receiving end of an LSX swap.

Why you'd swap an LSX into an RS6 or M3 is beyond me. Maybe when the original engine blew up or something, because I'd imagine an LSX is a whole lot cheaper then one of those Audi V8s or BMW straight sixes?

The M3's make prefect sense the LSx is likely lighter and certainly more powerful than the S52/M50 everything i have seen about LS swapped E36 M3s leads me to believe they are nothing but an improvement (just like an LS swapped RX7 as much as it pains me to admit it). Same thing with the RS6 and as an added bonus i am sure they were able to adapt the LSx to an Audi 01E transmission which means that RS6 now probably has a stick shift instead of the triptronic that it came with.

NRMA Insurance's latest ad campaign involved building a car from parts of different cars. The result looks strangely like a Nissan Juke, but somehow better.

I can see Hilux, Megane, Focus and Yaris in that, I'm probably missing some.
