£27,000 Lambo can rev up your office

-

SITTING at work, wishing you were behind the wheel of an exotic supercar instead? Well, thanks to one furniture firm, you could now do both at once.

The Lamborghin­i Aventador replica desk, from Polish firm Design Epicentrum, may not feature a fire-breathing V12 like a real machine, but it’s certain to light up your office space.

Convincing enough to look like a real car has been chopped in half, it’s been painstakin­gly recreated by hand – albeit with the sad absence of the Italian supercar manufactur­er’s badging, presumably for licensing reasons.

The fibreglass unit measures 74.8 inches wide and 31.5 inches high, and customers have the choice of over 200 colours.

It also boasts a scratchres­istant glass top and working lights. Optionally available is an LED light on the work space too.

Better still, you won’t have to pay real Lamborghin­i pricing for the desk.

It retails at 30,000 Euros (£27,000), which is around one-tenth of the price of the full machine.

That said, don’t expect to be able to road trip Europe in this thing – unless you do so via a laptop and Google Maps on the workspace.

Design Epicentrum also offers desk recreation­s of the Murcielago – the Aventador’s predecesso­r – and matching sofas.

Twelve-cylinder engine sound effects are available free of charge from your vocal cords.
