    That is sweet. Is that the same one that was driving next to the F-22 in a marketing technique to get ready to unveil their rare new supercar modeled after the F-22?

    Quick question about this nice paint job.

    Do you have to get a car such as a lamborghini painted custom at a lamborghini dealer? Like lets say you want a pull new paint job after owning one for 2years. They'd have to remove the engine and everything right?

    I dunno it still amazes me that someone would be willing to let that happen to there car, sure you can have great mechanics etc. But having everything taken out of a car like that for a paint job and then put back would seem risky in my books, then again you probably get some type of insurance from the company who did the work...

    These days trick, elaborate paint jobs are more and more often actually vinyl full car wrap graphics. Basically the same idea used for advertising on public buses.

    I think that kind of military grey (or something very close) is actually a Lamborghini factory colour on the LP640, so they probably just added the details in vinyl on top.

    Now it just needs a series of struck-through prancing horse 'kill' symbols on the doors.

    The camo job and rivets are not vinyl. Its a paint job with airbrush work.

    That's the CONCEPT that's supposed to be at Frankfurt Int'l Auto Show, I think. Could be completely wrong though.

    They said there would be a "jet-like" car there.

    No not at all. So far I've learned that this is a one of a kind, stored in Orchard road in Singapore.

    however, it would soon be destroyed by an IED. At such time car loungers would scramble for the leftover parts and promptly sell them on Ebay.

    It was on Autoblog this morning. Belongs to a guy in Singapore (Singapore plates). It's made up to emulate a Soviet Mig.

    I think it's badass, though mine would look more like something from Robotech

    I do wraps for a living, and as far as i can tell thats not one. First hint is the clear coat and overall smoothness.

    A VW Vortex poster claims it's a one-off paint job done on a Lambo in Singapore. The car is right-hand-drive, has a license plate that could be from Singapore, and looks to be sitting in a garage with a couple of Lotuses. Unfortunately, whoever took the pictures seems to have had full access to the car yet neglected to take one pic of the interior. The car even has a call sign written just above its rocker panels. It is, of course: LP640. Can anyone fill in the blanks

    What he means is that this isn't the concept car the other poster was referring to: the Reventon - http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3436826
