Building a supercar from scratch? How hard could it be?

Really quite tricky, if the evidence of this - Filandri Moreno's Uragano supercar - is anything to go by.

Moreno is a 47-year-old Italian from Imola in Bologna who, four years ago, decided to hand-build a hypercar. And the result is, erm, interesting. Sort of 'old Corvette C6 crossed with papier mache sofa' interesting.

'Uragano' translates as 'Hurricane', which could explain the car's somewhat battered appearance. Moreno outsourced almost none of the work, single-handedly (and the phrase may be advised) constructing the bodywork, frame, suspension, brakes and even the steering in-house.

He did, however, stop short of building his own engine, instead slotting the 4.2-litre V8 from an old Audi A8 under the weird airbed bonnet.

Moreno says he built the Uragano simply because he wanted to. While we admire the dedication, might we advise a change of hobby? Anything. Literally anything else.
