Lamborghini's Polo  Storico  vintage division in Italy has now produced a convincing LP 500 replica from the ground up, using period-correct components and paying great attention to the concept's characteristic construction and proportions.

Polo  Storico  even employed the same production processes as Lamborghini at the time, such as manual panel pounding, to achieve total authenticity.
