Vietnamese Team Builds Lamborghini Revuelto Replica From Scratch

Updated on July 06, 2026 • 3 min read

A Vietnamese creator team has attracted widespread attention after spending 350 days building a handmade replica of the Lamborghini Revuelto using custom fabrication techniques, fiberglass bodywork and a donor Nissan V6 powertrain.

Published by YouTube channel NHẾT TV, the project showcases how independent builders can recreate the appearance and many functional features of a modern hypercar without access to factory tooling or production equipment.

Hand-Built Chassis and Fiberglass Body

Rather than modifying an existing sports car, the team started with a completely custom tubular steel chassis.

To reproduce the Revuelto’s complex body shape, they first sculpted the entire vehicle using large quantities of clay applied over a wire-frame structure. Fiberglass and resin were then laminated over the clay model to create the body panels.

After curing, the builders removed the clay core before spending extensive time sanding and refining the fiberglass surfaces to achieve the final exterior finish.

The fabrication process closely resembles prototype body development methods used during concept vehicle construction, although executed using low-cost workshop tools.

Nissan V6 Powers the Replica

Instead of Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V12 hybrid powertrain, the replica uses a Nissan V6 engine sourced from an older sedan.

The builders removed the donor powertrain before fabricating:

• Custom suspension components
• Welded control arms
• Machined suspension hardware
• Center-exit exhaust system
• Bespoke mounting structures

Although the performance is far below the Revuelto’s more than 1,000-horsepower output, the finished vehicle is fully drivable.

Functional Supercar Features

The project goes beyond exterior styling by incorporating several working features inspired by the production Lamborghini, including:

• Functional scissor doors
• Active rear spoiler
• Custom LED daytime running lights
• Handmade bucket seats
• Custom interior trim
• Bright green exterior finish

The completed replica was later tested on public roads and off-road terrain, demonstrating the vehicle’s functionality after nearly one year of construction.

DIY Fabrication Demonstrates Composite Craftsmanship

While the replica is not intended to match Lamborghini’s engineering or performance, the project highlights the growing capabilities of independent fabricators using fiberglass composite construction techniques.

Hand-laid fiberglass remains a widely used material for prototype vehicles, motorsport body panels and custom automotive projects due to its relatively low tooling costs and design flexibility.

The NHẾT TV build demonstrates how traditional composite fabrication, combined with welding and machining skills, can recreate complex automotive bodywork without industrial manufacturing equipment.

As online fabrication communities continue to grow, projects like this showcase how advanced composite materials and digital content platforms are enabling enthusiasts to undertake increasingly ambitious vehicle builds.
