Bear in mind the controversy when Liberty Stroll modified an Eighties icon into certainly one of their wide-body fashions final yr? Sure, we’re speaking concerning the Ferrari F40 Kato-san become an LB-WORKS model, a kind of automobiles you both love or hate, and let’s face it, that wasn’t the primary time Liberty Stroll did one thing to upset automotive fanatics all over the world, in 2018 Kato-san actually upset nearly everyone within the automotive group when he unveiled the black Lamborghini Miura wide-body on the TAS, the Tokyo Auto Salon, thankfully, it wasn’t based mostly on a seven-figure Lamborghini from the Sixties, however he constructed it on a duplicate, which was based mostly on a Ford GT40 recreation.
