In the past, we have seen a number of examples half-baked Lamborghini Urus rip-offs. However, sometimes, there comes a good looking sample which surely deserves some attention for the detailing and perfection. One such example is this modified Toyota RAV-4 from Japan.

This XR51 body kit from Albermo primarily focuses on the front fascia of the RAV4 and includes an all-new front bumper which looks very similar to that of the Lamborghini Urus. This front bumper has been designed in such a way that it doesn’t affect the original shape and working of the headlamps, parking sensors and various sensors for the safety features of the RAV4. At the centre of this bumper, there is a badge of Albermo and not Lamborghini, to avoid any legal hassles. Apart from the front bumper, Albermo is also offering roof-mounted spoiler, revised lower apron and a set of side body skirts to make the SUV even sportier.
