A lot of parts in the cabin were 3D-printed, as well, but the dashboard and door cards are all standard. The steering wheel, however, is from a real Aventador and contains the only Lamborghini badge in the car as a sign of respect for the company.
The engine compartment is a real one from an Aventador bought from eBay, but the engine itself is an LS1 V8 engine out of a 2005 Chevy Corvette from a junkyard. Meanwhile, the transmission is from a Porsche 911. The car’s final weight is around 2,700 pounds, significantly less than the real Aventador SV’s weight of under 4,000 lbs.
Obviously, the project isn’t finished yet. Backus will have to get the panels ready for paint, work on the mechanics and electrical parts, and then the interior. This Aventador SV project is among the coolest 3D-printing works we’ve seen out there and if you’re curious like us, you’d be happy to know that he plans to bring his work to a car show at Bandimere Speedway in Denver on August 13.
