Lamborghinis are almost always presented as Italian-styled sports cars but French hot-rod builders Danton Arts Kustom managed to turn a classic Lamborghini into a unique hot-rod. Beginning its life as a four-seater, V12-powered Lamborghini Espada, the custom hot-rod was commisioned to celebrate the Espada's 50th anniversary. Drawing inspiration from the vehicle's namesake, the Danton Arts Kustom car features a custom front end, chopped body and a fully upgraded body kit that provides a more menacing look. However, despite the various body upgrades, the vehicle still maintains the classic Espada appearance and feel.
While the exterior still resembles the base car, the interior of the Danton Arts Kustom creation tells a different story. When designing the interior, Danton replaced the standard trim with soft leather and real wood panels. A custom dashboard was also included as a centerpiece to the car.
