Update:

All is well in California, school is great and has kept me busy. With my schedule, I doubt that WAWUZAT will return to Daytona
this year. I hope but still don't know. Trying to finish my portfolio for review and got a chance to render the widebody.

Hey Alex,

Don't worry, while you are away your car is in good hands !

BTW, just wanted to tell you, you have one of the coolest dad's ever !!

The new project is outstanding.

Is it me or is the front left tire on the right side of the car and the front right one on the left? It seems those are directional tires and they are on the opposite sides they should be on. Look at the pictures you can see the tire threads in.

Yea, if that's a directional tire, it's definetely backwards. the thread is supposed to look like a Christmas tree that's upside down when looking from the front of the car. (easy way to remember)

Hey Alex,
Sorry if this question was already asked.....but are you going to be selling a kit based off of this car, or are you keeping it a "one-off"?
If so.....how much for a complete kit??

Hahah ,

That guy with the crossed arms if my sisters boyfriend. I'm sure he likes the car, but not as much as my sister.

The car will not be offered in kit form, we want to keep it a one-off for now. Who knows what the future may hold in store
for it.

kinglikeprince: I can probably get another CD put together if you really want it. I'm not sure everything will fit on one, but
I can get them for you. Let me know.

Ok lets ad some photos.... dad sent me some pix of the yellow one. It came together pretty good. I still love WAWUZAT GTR, but the yellow has it own good points.
The wheels came in and the final touches are beign put on. It's funny how a car looks 100% better with some wheels and small details. Enjoy.

Going to the LA Auto show today, for press day. I can't wait to see the Lamborghini Reventon. I will post some stuff asap..... The current stuff is more commuter car
research, you know with all the green stuff going on, we need to design efficiency too. Not my favorite but, its the job.

Ok, Here we go.. the Reventon.




























This images is larger than 153600 bytes. Click to view.
Lead designer for the Reventon. After talking to him about the design, it makes sense why it looks the
way it does. The idea was thought of on paper but their CAD guy did the majority of the car. It is amazing how fast they
did it too (4-5 months).


I have more pics of the rest of the show too.

Some unseen shots of the build...... Found them through CD's and photo books. I figure they will also contribute to the finalization of the build.



One man power

Cleaning engine bay

Rear 3/4 shot

Rear end details

Leaving Daytona 2006, a very tight fit

Carbon fiber fabric sun visors

Coming together

Wingless.....food for thought

All opened up

Rear assembly

1st test drive at home

Carbon fiber headliner

After 1st wetsand

Primer and lowering springs

Great read of form

Working on the rear

Stock 88 comparison

Gpa and Gma checking out the car

Defiantly wider

Bobby (Creator) and Brian of Prestige Auto Center (motor work)

Front comparison

Quietly at rest

Gma and Gpa

Momo merchandise

Reverse glow gauges

Front compartment

It is all in the finish work

Coming together

Francisco ( Lamborghini shop manager and painter of car) and wife

Creator cleaning Wawuzat

Builders Me and Dad

Engine install in process

Morning after wet sanding

Kingdom Customs do great work and products

This is what the engine looked like

Happy at Daytona 2006

After job was done


Brian, Alex, sis, and Fransisco Vilalba

I think that is about everything I have to document on the Widebody as far as the build, who knows what is next?
Time will tell.

Some people didn't like it, but it looks like you did a pretty good job in designing the chin spoiler on the car.



The guys at lamborghini apparently share your taste:

Wow where did you get those pics? Man I've been looking for some race photos.
I am surprised how similar the openings are, haha now way. I know some people did not like them, but I had no clue they had
a similar things on actual Lambos....Great!

No problem Tony, as soon as I graduate I will do some fiero related stuff, for myself and other that show real interest. I don't plan on
wasting time with small projects. Actually as I progress into the upper terms, my design chair told me that we will have the opportunity to do
a Lamborghini design sponsored project. I can't wait to sink my teeth into it, but what I am also excited about is that for one of my upper term projects
I will make it a priority to redesign he next generation FIERO..

Thanks for the post and if you could give me a link that would be awesome.

Hey all,

Got a chance to clean and drive it a little. The car is great, besides having the wing off and needing some air in the front right it was great. I gave it a once over clean and it should be good for another year of storage. It runs well, no leaks just dust. Anyway here are some pix. I will upload the video of the car tonight.....sty tuned.

Alex, could you post some more interior detail shots?

What materials are you using on the interior? CF and leather/vinyl? What brand are the seats?

I will put up some more interior shots asap. The interior is wrapped in a combination of leather and vinyl, we also used the carbon fiber vinyl material to go with the Kingdom Customs CF headliner and trim pieces. The orange face-plates are the same color as the exterior of the car.

-Alex

Also if you go to page 3 toward the bottom you can see some more interior detail pictures.
