Lamborghini (the company) even showed their support and gave him some parts.
Imagine if you copied an existing aircraft...maybe the original manufacturer would throw support into the project?
Doesn't Lamborghini make Jets? I know Honda does.

Pretty sure the FAA would have something to say about scanning and printing an existing aircraft.
SR71 does come to mind though. Wonder how long it would take to scan the M21 at the Seattle Museum of Flight? Close enough to a SR71 for printing purposes....
Besides the Ford GT 40 would be much more to my liking.
