Car enthusiasm is a global cultural phenomenon that never runs out of ways to show appreciation for favorite models. Sometimes those ideas start from one thought, become increasingly twisted, and end up as a very different kind of horse than anyone expected.

When I showed these photos of a Chinese Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 clone to Mike Spinelli here at Jalopnik, his first response was "Oh, a new color!" He had no idea it was fake. And he's driven one. That's because this Fauxborghini is just that good.
