Veno Automotive to produce Lamborghini Reventon lookalike

Chinese automakers have widely become known for their ability to ape the designs of more well-established automakers, but the latest vehicle from Poland proves that copycatting isn’t just reserved for the Asian continent.

Poland’s Veno Automotive has released images of its yet-to-be-named supercar, but it may as well be called the Lamborghini Reventon II. Veno claims that its supercar has a unique design and – surprise, surprise – was inspired by fighter jets, just as the Reventon was.

Veno says that it has developed a new chassis capable of handling over 1,000 horsepower, which the company says will help the supercar take on the likes of Ferrari, Aston Martin, Pagani, Koenigsegg and its long-lost brothers from Lamborghini.

Slated to be produced in both coupe and cabrio forms, Veno says the supercar will incorporate the latest technology, such as carbon fiber body panels, night vision and wireless internet access.

Power is said to be sourced from Audi’s 4.2L V8, which will be available in 350, 450 and 700 horsepower increments. Veno also claims that it will offer a range of V8s from General Motors, including the Corvette ZR1’s supercharged LS9.

If all of that doesn’t sound too good to be true, Veno is working on a high-performance all-electric drivetrain for the Reventon clone, according to Carscoop.

The Polish supercar is earmarked for a production run of 50 units, but we think those production plans could be delayed by Lamborghini’s army of lawyers.

Looks strangely better and more awkward than the Reventon.

I think it looks awesome! The rear could use some work but the front is fantastic!

Oi! That interior is awful! I don’t know why, but it just looks horribly plain and boring. Maybe it’s the color, but it just looks like something fresh out of 1972.

I’ve never realized that sorta carbon fibre tint looks so good. Classy almost.

But sorry, this is ridiculous. It’s a near photocopy of the Reventon front. The rear, not so much, just a little awkward looking. It looks larger than the Reventon, has a larger presence, but I would very well say I like the real thing more.

What is this Chinese company’s problem? Where is the pride and creativity in copycating cars? All they had to do was make some minor front fascia and headlight changes.

If Lamborghini doesn’t have a case to sue this Polish manufacturer then car makers no longer need to copyright their designs — it’s a blatant rip-off.

We need to have international laws to sue for this sort of thing. It would make me sick if I was the guy who came up with the Lambo design

I read it wrong. I didn’t think the Poles/Pollocks would stoop to this low.

hehe…it looks like a facelift Reventon…
however,it ain’t so bad.It looks good the front from any angle of view,and the rear view it’s just rich with it’s rear lights…they are something like 2d pyramides…the whole exterior is like a black jet F-117…
I like the both models…the convertible and the normal Rev…
But the cost doesn’t take to this kind of car…it ain’t a bugatti veyron to cost over 2 milli…
it has only 650 HP and not 1001 HP…
600 HP will have the Audi RS7 as it is planed…and it will cost around 150.000 EUR
and I say that the Lambo Rev should cost over 500.000 EUR (815.000 $) or maximum 600.000 EUR (978.000 $). At least a million cheaper to be…damn it, and even you can’t get it when you want to buy it,cause only 25 Rev’s were produced for 2008 which were all sold for a short period of time…and so maybe for 2009…man,this car ain’t an extra future prototype or a space shuttle,it ain’t made from Swarowski Crystal Diamonds…c’mon man!!!
It’s just the price that I don’t like at all…but the car looks nice
