- Japanese company Value Progress created a one-off supercar with radical custom bodywork.
- The Beast is based on a Lamborghini Diablo, retaining its naturally aspirated V12 engine.
- The creation was showcased at the Osaka Auto Messe, though its availability remains unclear.
At first glance, you might mistake this bizarre creation for yet another cheap, mainstream car dressed up as an over-the-top supercar wannabe, borrowing inspiration from old Lamborghinis. After all, most supercar replicas are built on the automotive equivalent of instant ramen. But this build from Japan breaks that mold as it’s actually riding on the bones of a Lamborghini Diablo.

They call it “The Beast,” and with bodywork so radical it looks like a Lamborghini Veneno designed by a kid who just discovered every single cheat code in a knockoff racing game, it certainly lives up to the name.
This outlandish model was conceived and crafted by Value Progress, a Japanese company known for its custom cars. According to the creators, the goal was to build a “super sports car made in Japan” that would “surprise” people with its looks—and it definitely delivers on that promise.
Inspired by Bosozoku, Taken to the Extreme
The custom body features a dizzying array of wings and vents, clearly inspired by Japan’s “bosozoku” car culture but dialed up to eleven. Not a single original body panel remains intact, with only the front windscreen carried over from the Diablo.
The elongated front end sports a pointed nose resembling a bird’s beak, along with vertically stacked headlights, high-mounted fog lights, a vented hood, and an exaggerated splitter. Yet, even this dramatic front is overshadowed by the rear section, which takes maximalism to new heights.

A Rear End Unlike Any Other
The dramatically widened rear fenders have an origami-like texture that appears to serve no practical purpose, leading up to a massive rear wing connected to the roof by a central fin. While it seems to pay homage to the Lamborghini Veneno, on the Beast, it looks more like a ladder.
The tail and diffuser are adorned with more fins than you could possibly count, creating visual chaos that’s as overwhelming as it is mesmerizing. The Beast also features eight round taillights and four exhaust pipes mounted unusually high.

All this extreme bodywork makes the Beast a full 570 mm (22.4 inches) longer and 360 mm (14.2 inches) wider than the already imposing standard Diablo, giving it an intimidating, aggressive stance. The supercar measures 5,030 mm (198 inches) long, 2,400 mm (94.5 inches) wide, and 1,260 mm (49.6 inches) tall, although the roof height itself is just 1,100 mm (43.3 inches) due to the towering rear wing.
As a final touch, the exterior is painted in Italian Red with Dark Gray and Purple accents. The supercar build also rids on a new set of shiny aftermarket alloy wheels measuring 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear.

Diablo Power and Performance
Underneath the wild exterior, The Beast retains the Lamborghini Diablo’s mid-mounted 5.7-liter V12 engine paired with a manual gearbox. Value Progress hasn’t specified the exact model year or variant of the donor car, but depending on the version, it would have originally produced between 485 and 595 hp (362-444 kW / 485-603 PS). Needless to say, the Beast isn’t just about looks as it’s got the power to back them up.
While it’s unclear if any chassis upgrades were made, Value Progress does mention a “first-class suspension” and boasts about the brake system’s stopping power. In any case, the Beast won’t be remembered for its performance, but for its extravagant style. We sincerely hope that the Lamborghini that was sacrificed for making the Beast was not in a good shape prior to the conversion.
The Japanese-built Diablo was unveiled at the Osaka Auto Messe 2025, where it turned plenty of heads. Value Progress hasn’t revealed if the supercar will be up for sale, nor is it clear whether it remains street legal after all the extreme modifications. But given its dramatic presence, it’s hard to imagine it slipping by unnoticed on public roads.
