There are loads of new cars available in the U.S. for less than $25,000, including the likes of the Kia Seltos, the all-new Honda Civic, and the Mazda CX-30. Alternatively, you could cough up $25,000 for something like this, a Civic-based replica of the Lamborghini Reventon.
This odd replica discovered by TheDrive has been listed up for sale through Autoway of Atlanta and while very few details about it are provided, it’s obvious that the previous owner wanted a vehicle to resemble one of Lamborghini’s rarest and most expensive limited-run models.
The listing notes that this is a 2009 model, meaning it is an FG-generation Civic but from the outside, there are very few clues about the car’s underpinnings. All of the original body panels have been replaced and sitting in their place are a raft of new parts.

At the front, the Civic sports a bumper clearly inspired by the Reventon and sporting similarly-shaped air intakes, although they appear to be fake. The Honda is also rocking a set of aftermarket headlights seemingly designed for a Toyota Celica. Elsewhere, the car sits on a set of aftermarket wheels with black spokes and chrome-finished barrels, distinctive rear quarter panels, scissor doors, a new rear window, and a customized rear fascia that also looks to the Reventon for inspiration.
The custom touches made to the Civic continue into the cabin where the seats have been re-trimmed in grey leather and have the Lamborghini logo embroidered into the backs. There are also some touches of blue suede spread throughout the interior, including on the door panels and center console.
Whereas the Reventon has a screaming V12, this Civic retains its original 1.8-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder VTEC engine and automatic transmission. The listing confirms it has 132,090 miles (212,578 km) on the clock.
