Everybody knows that Lamborghini has always had a way with cars so many kit-car enthusiasts are going to love this reasonably affordable kit at just under $20,000. The Torero is a Diablo replica that goes together quite nicely for the first timer who really wants to hit a homerun when he finally get his first replica built and on the road. If you’ve never had the slightest intention of putting together your own car, the Torero just might change your mind. This kit is easy to start with because the main body is a one piece shell that comes with one piece doors, rear engine cover and front bonnet. The rear deck lid is also a one piece unit and all the mounting points are built in by the manufacturer. This makes it very simple for the first timer and it packs a big punch when you are finally done.
Parallel Designs has devised a plan for the Torero as a semi-space frame structure that is built from a 16 gauge steel square tube and welded on high precision jigs to ensure high quality and accuracy in the construction. It also has a central backbone for added rigidity and strength, all of which adheres to the Single Vehicle Approval standards. Rear uprights on this Lamborghini replica have been specifically designed for the Torero and standard bearings from the good old Ford Granada Mk3 are just one of the clever tricks that make this car so affordable as a beginner kit-car.
Apart from the ease of the assembly and the affordability of the kit, the Torero also has quite a bit of authenticity to it. Much of the kit was molded from a genuine Lamborghini. The chassis was designed to accommodate a five liter BMW V12 engine with 300bhp and the next demonstrator is promised to have just under 400bhp. The Torero is even developing a kit where the buyer is always assured of an engine configuration that will be fully tested and approved by the experts no matter what specifications they decide to try next. Also included in the options for Parallel replicas are the Rover V8 engine from 'short block' to 'turnkey'.
As many Lamborghini replicas have seen problems in the cooling system, Parallel has decided to develop a cooling system from scratch which maintains a safe temperature. It uses a thermal fan where the water is sent through a kit which incorporates an aluminum cooling pipe. In addition to this state of the art cooling system, the Torero has a thirteen-row oil cooler which accommodates any overly high oil temperatures. They have really thought of everything to bring the Lamborghini to the average Joe. If you ever thought of taking the plunge into the world of kit car replicas, don’t be surprised if you are considering your first build when you take a look at this amazing kit car!
