replica sports cars?

I was watching videos on youtube and came upon one that showed a replica lamborghini that looked exactly like the real thing and they were selling the replicas very cheap. My question is how do they make these replicas and why doesn't lamborghini sue them for this. Have you had any experience with replica cars?

 

It's not worth looking stupid or feeling stupid. They make them from making a mold of a real lambo body and putting it on top of a cheap car's chassis. I don't know why they don't get sued.

 

I had a friend who turned his junk car into a sleek looking GTR and needless to say it does look like a real GTR only with a crappy engine. I honestly don't know why major car companies don't sue these kind of things, I mean, they're basically ripping off the design and it's not like a subtle similarity, I mean the whole thing. But I think it's because they're not (the replicators) worth the effort to sue(?) I mean, if they're doing it and making billions then I think the companies will have to take some steps, but if they're just earning a couple thousand bucks well. I also think it has something to do with the inside of the cars (engines etc.), if they can replicate a Lamborghini from the windshields to the valves, then I guess some suing is about to happen.

 

I think so too. Maybe the people making the replicas are not a threat to the big car companies and its just not worth suing them. Also maybe the makers of the replicas are extremely private.

 

I am assuming they would have to have a production car that looks exactly like their cars and name a company and everything in order for them to sue i guess. I could be wrong.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Replicating a cars looks solely on chasis is one thing but replicating the whole car even the engine is a whole new territory if you ask me. Maybe that's the reason why big car companies don't sue these replicators, another thing is, now that you've mentioned production, I think if these replicators mass produce these replicas then it would cause some problems.

 

I think that it's creative and I love that there people who know what they want and I'm not deterred even though their challenges and between them and their goal such as finances. I think these car manufacturers can't really sue these people because there is not much for them to benefit from. If you sue an individual who can't afford to buy a car because it's out of their budget range then I do not think that they will be able to pay a lot as a major company or corporation. So they just watch from a distance and let some of these things happen.
