- A 1986 Pontiac Fiero has been transformed into a Lamborghini replica.
- Power is provided by a supercharged V6 mated to an automatic transmission.
For many, owning a Lamborghini is the ultimate dream car. But, much like some folks who settle for fake Ray-Bans or sport a knockoff Louis Vuitton handbag, there’s a certain type of person who’s perfectly content cruising around in a budget imitation of an exotic. That’s exactly what this Pontiac Fiero is trying to do, but unlike plenty of other replicas, it’s not exactly cheap.
This particular Fiero is up for sale on Facebook Marketplace in Overland Park, Kansas. The original asking price? A cool $20,000, but it’s since dropped to $18,500. If the seller doesn’t find someone desperate enough to cruise around in a Lamborghini look-alike, we have a feeling that price might keep sliding. Unless, of course, the buyer is living in a parallel universe where Pontiac Fieros are considered exotic.

So, what exactly do you get for your money, which could easily land you a brand-new Nissan Versa? Well, the original Pontiac body panels have been swapped out for ones meant to resemble a Lamborghini Diablo. The problem? This might be one of the least convincing Lamborghini 2025 we’ve seen in a while. In fact, it barely even resembles a Diablo at all.
On the plus side, the car is finished in an eye-catching shade of pearlescent orange that does add to the wannabe exotic looks. It also has scissor doors.

Lift the engine cover, and you’ll find an upgraded version of the stock V6 with an aftermarket supercharger and a custom exhaust system. While the exact power output remains a mystery, we do know it’s paired with GM’s 4T63-E automatic transmission. So, expect it to have some pep, but how much? That’s anyone’s guess.
Several upgrades have been made to the Pontiac’s interior. For example, there’s a new Momo steering wheel, a digital rearview mirror, a double-din headunit, and a modified dashboard with new black leather.
The seller claims the car has been driven 79,000 miles (about 127,000 kilometers), which is pretty standard for a car of this age. But the question remains; if you were in the market for a Lamborghini replica, would this Fiero do it for you? We’re not convinced, but then again, maybe you’re the type of person who just can’t get enough of the idea of a fake Lamborghini… as long as it’s not actually too fake.
