It all started in mid-2023, when the pastor Gustavo Bruno Trinca Reis organized an event on the beach Guaruja (SP) to promote and try to sell his handmade car, the Thunder.
The proposal seemed, at first glance, something completely out of the ordinary.
Imagine a Chevette 1983, a classic of GM Brazilian, being transformed into a replica of one of the most iconic cars in history: the Lamborghini Gallardo.
The project was audacious.
The Thunder, as it became known, had all the visual characteristics of a Lamborghini Gallardo, but with one crucial detail: its chassis was that of a Chevette.
The car was handcrafted and, if viewed from a distance, could deceive even the most attentive eyes.
But what really caught the public's attention was not the attempt to create a supercar from a popular model, but rather the unusual way in which the pastor tried to sell the vehicle and the legal problems that arose from there.
But will this story come to an end?
Or will Thunder appear again at some point, with a new attempt at regularization or even an even bolder version of its transformation?
