This incredible paper car by Taras Lesko is a life-size Lamborghini replica of the Aventador Police Interceptor.
The astounding model is made from printed sheets of paper reinforced with chipboard to give it structure. Lesko built smaller scale versions of the Aventador A-E2 before assembling this giant papercraft, which was cut out from architectural E2 paper and pieced together with tacky glue.
Just like a real Lamborghini, this paper version measures an astounding 8' in length and weighs in at over 11 kg. Overall, its appearance is quite realistic. If you've ever felt that owning a Lamborghini was out of your reach, building a convincing full-size model like this paper car is one way to bring yourself that much closer to your dream of owning a stunning luxury mobile.
