One of the wildest projects to have greeted gear heads at last year's SEMA show was a Lamborghini Huracan with a manual swap. We knew this was coming (I first wrote about the build in August 2019), but no amount of preparation can take away the shock of such a project, especially when that stick shift is just part of the magic.
For one, the three-pedal setup is connected to an LS swap and, to ensure the horsepower figure is worthy of the machine, a pair of turbos was added, with the units sticking right out of the engine compartment rather than being placed behind the motor, as is the case with your "usual" Lamborghini V10 TT builds.
Of course, such a contraption required proper skin, which is why the crew over at B Is For Build, who put the thing together, turned to digital artist Khyzyl Saleem for some renderings, which resulted in a truly unique real-world design, Huracan Super Trofeo racecar panels and all.
As is often the case with SEMA builds, these projects aren't 100 percent finished when they land at the Vegas venue. For one, the said shop is currently working to complete the project, as you'll notice in the fourth Instagram post below (the third one shows the car in the form SEMA visitors met it).
However, we are currently here for the first post, which comes from the said pixel wielder. You see, the artist has decided to give the Franken-Bull a few touches here and there.
And if you compare the new virtual appearance of the machine to the one showcased in the second post (the 2019 rendering), you'll notice the limited nature of the transformation. And the area around the lower side air intakes is an example as good as any.
Will these updates be featured on the actual car? At this point, this seems like anybody's guess (I would bet on "no", though).
However, while we're here, I want to mention that B Is For Build already started an Mk IV Supra project this year - a damaged example was acquired in Japan and this seems to have tuning written in the stars, as it already came with... R34 Nissan GT-R wheels.
