I think it looks great, hey it's no different to some of the wild projects on here, albeit on a much bigger budget obviously. To each his own I say, finished product could be better without those stripes I think.

Goes to show you why they offer factory options.

At Ford dealership shopping for a new car.

Customer: Can I have this Mustang in 4WD?

Sales Person: No, sorry you cannot.

C: Ok, can I have it with a rear mount V10 and flappy paddle gearbox?

SP: No. You cannot.

C: Really... I'd like to see that.

SP: Well sir, you are more than welcome to make one.

C: I will.

SP: LOL

6 months pass and the original customer returns and thus this thread has gained legs all around the world.

I think it would have been fine if they kept the mastang rear end on it. But overall I like it, just for the total insane factor of it.

Awesome Mustang (if you can call it that)

Mustang = RWD Front Mount Engine
Lambo = AWD Mid Mount Engine

The work is nothing short of incredible. And agreed that the rear looks a little strange... though if that had the 'stang look, how else would you know it was based on a LAMBO?

Certainly a one off... I'd love to see reactions at a car show, or at a drag strip...

Redneck = Wicked Mustang, I love candy apple red. Whats all that shiny stuff in the back seat :
LambStang= Its a Lamborghini, and that would be the V10.
Redneck = Nah, its a Mustang... And someone has left some spares in your back seat...
LambStang= Hey look someone is handing out free beer !!! :togo:

And so it goes on....

That's one of the most insane rebuilds Ive ever seen.

Agreed the back end treatment is a bit off, but damn, the rest of it aint too bad!

Rear mounted V10, AWD and those brakes, that suspension, in a Mustang. She'd go!

Ummmm.... I dont see any pictures there showing a Lambo being chopped up...

Hes pulled the engine out of it and put it in a mustang. So he still has the Lambo body in one piece... and a chopped up mustang.

Its a glorified engine swap.... it woulda been better to find a wrecked Lambo to pull the engine out of.

So the headline in the orginating thread is wrong....

A tool and his money is soon parted. If he is that rich he coulda bought and an engine from the factory surely?

I have to say, I really don't mind that.

I think if it wasn't a lambo in the first place, then people really wouldn't care. Takes some balls to do it. Any of us would dream to own a lambo, and a mustang, but combining the two?

I don't mind it. It's certainly an interesting project to undertake.

hmm not too bad, its definitely unique, rear is the only turn off in my opinion. A lot of time and money has obviously gone into that!!
