Car tuning culture has developed in various ways all over the world. Japan boasts a unique individuality. Japanese custom tuning company Value Progress recently attracted the attention of car enthusiasts by revealing a supercar that completely breaks the mold of existing modifications.
A Radical Transformation: The Beast’s Visual Appeal
Unlike typically tuned vehicles that retain a strong resemblance to their original form, The Beast has completely reimagined the Lamborghini Diablo’s design. The only element left untouched is the windshield. The front end has been given a bold, aggressive look with sharp protrusions, multi-layered headlights, and a massive splitter, making it nearly unrecognizable.
The modifications at the rear are equally extreme. The fenders, crafted with a unique texture that resembles origami, serve both a design purpose and an aerodynamic function. A central fin connects the rear wing to the roof, adding to the vehicle’s fierce appearance. Four high-mounted exhaust outlets and eight round taillights enhance the rear’s visual impact, making The Beast stand out among custom supercars.
Performance That Matches the Looks
The Beast’s powertrain is just as impressive as its appearance. Under the hood, a 5.7L V12 engine, borrowed from the Lamborghini Diablo, is paired with a manual transmission to deliver an exhilarating performance. Given that the original Diablo’s engine produces between 485 and 595 horsepower, The Beast is expected to offer considerable power, amplifying the Diablo’s already impressive performance.
Dimensions: Bigger and Bolder
The body size has also been significantly expanded compared to the existing Diablo. The length of the vehicle is 5,030 mm (198.0 inches), and the width is 2,400 mm (94.5 inches), which is 570 mm (22.4 inches) and 360 mm (14.2 inches) longer than the existing one, respectively, and the height is 1,260 mm (49.6 inches) thanks to the large rear wing. However, the actual roof height is 1,100 mm (43.3 inches), so the body would have been much lower if no wing existed.
A Supercar Unlike Any Other
Value Progress has stated that The Beast was created to be “the world’s most extreme super sports car.” While the vehicle’s extreme modifications have certainly achieved that goal, the level of modification applied makes it uncertain whether it will be street-legal. The vehicle’s fate remains unclear, as it is unknown if it will be sold or produced in large quantities. Regardless, this creation represents the pinnacle of radical automotive design and performance, a work of art in custom supercars.
