Seattle man creates true-to-life Lamborghini out of cardboard

Taras Lesko works as a graphics design artist for Forza Motorsport — the hit racing game for Xbox. And it was his love of cars, and an intense desire to express himself, that led Lesko to explore paper engineering as a hobby in 2008. Based out of Seattle, his latest piece cost over $1,000 in materials, and measures eight feet in length. Amassing more than 100 hours of manual labor, Lesko created a lifelike Lamborghini Aventador, made of nothing but cardboard.

Having dabbled in smaller models, the Lamborghini police interceptor -- named the Aventador A-E2 -- started as a dare by his wife. The idea was to create a large cardboard car that stands as close to real-life as possible, while still fitting through their home's front door. All in, the Lambo weighs 25 lbs., and needed countless hours of computer aided design before constructing the piece even began.
