OLEG HRYCAK, a sports car enthusiast from the Ukrainian city of Lviv, spent four years building his very own limited edition Lamborghini Reventon. He admits it was a lot of work, but it beats having to pay over US$2 million for a real one.

    Having worked as a designer at a Ukrainian bus factory, Hrycak says he had some experience modeling fiber glass and one day decided to use this knowledge to build himself a drivable luxury sports car replica. He took the chassis of an old Audi A8 sedan and modified it to fit the fiberglass body of a Lamborghini Reventon.

    Hrycak says he did all of the work on the DIY sports car himself, in his spare time, to prove that anyone can build their own luxury automobile if they set their mind to it.

    Hrycak admits that he has denied himself and his family a lot of thing these last four years. They did not go on any vacations, didn’t buy any furniture or expensive appliances for their home, and he quit smoking and drinking in order to save money for his project.
