(Yes, I love kit cars. They're like bad folk music.)

This one comes by way of ebay, as do a number of these monstrosities. The description claims that it's a Lamborghini kit, but it's more clearly an attempt to replicate a Ferrari Enzo, or Enzo Ferrari, or whatever.

This hideous creation is obviously a labor of love, the kit installer modifying the doors to scissor up instead of opening out. The engine lid is pretty impressive, and reveals another amusing addition.

Yes, that is what appears to be a 12 cylinder engine in the bay, or at least valve covers, plug wires, distributors, and intake. However, it's just a cover for a more modest powerplant.

When I see cars such as this, I always ask myself,"Why do they spend all this time upgrading the exterior and not spend any time on the interior?"

While it may not look like the real version of the car it's attempting to imitate, the most cursory inspection will reveal that these seats don't belong in a car costing $20k, let alone several hundred thousand.

Do I really need to say anything here? Couldn't the enkittifier maybe upgrade the head unit and wrap everything else in leather, carbon fiber, and chrome?

At least you get the original f-1 style Fiero digital speedometer and LED tach, though I'm only assuming that thing on the left is a tach and not a facade for the speedo, since a tach is largely ornamental on a craptacular low-output six-cylinder engine with an automatic transmission.
