Kerala man creates Lamborghini replica using Alto parts and scrap materials for Rs 1.5 lakh, stuns internet
In an extraordinary display of engineering creativity, a 26-year-old man from Kerala has built a full-sized
Lamborghini replica
not in a factory, but in his garage. Using scrap materials, old car parts, and sheer passion, Bibin, a quality assurance professional, spent three years crafting a stunning
homemade supercar
that mimics the Lamborghini Huracan. The custom-built vehicle, powered by a Maruti Alto engine, has gone viral after being featured on YouTube. With minimal resources and maximum dedication, this Kerala man's scrap car build is inspiring automobile lovers across India and beyond.
Kerala man builds Lamborghini replica using scrap and Maruti Alto parts
Bibin's project began not with a showroom visit but with discarded materials. Determined to live his dream without spending crores, he used scrap metal, fiberglass sheets, and salvaged car parts to replicate the Lamborghini Huracan. The design and attention to detail are astonishing, especially considering the humble origin of its components.
The replica sits on Maruti Suzuki Alto wheels and uses the same engine for power. Despite the modest foundation, Bibin engineered key features to mimic a real supercar—including a Lamborghini-style steering wheel, butterfly doors, and a nose-lift system powered by a car jack.

Bibin's replica supercar features push controls and repurposed parts
Though based on a small car's chassis, the vehicle integrates custom engineering. Bibin installed a working push-button system to control doors and wipers. The steering wheel was repurposed from another car, blending functionality with design aesthetics. These creative improvisations not only reduced cost but also highlighted his deep mechanical understanding.
Bibin has invested about Rs 1.5 lakh so far, mostly during nighttime hours after work. He estimates 20–30% of the work remains, particularly interior detailing like seat cushioning, which is yet to be completed.
Internet praises Kerala man's homemade supercar
The YouTube video showcasing Bibin's creation received overwhelming praise from viewers. Many described the Lamborghini replica as 'mind-blowing' and 'pure passion turned into reality.' One commenter wrote, 'Turning scrap into stunning art takes skill, patience, and heart.' Others admired his mindset, saying, 'If you can't buy it, build it.' This public response has transformed Bibin's quiet passion project into a viral sensation and sparked conversations about DIY car building and affordable innovation.
Kerala continues to lead in DIY vehicle innovation
Bibin isn't the only innovator from Kerala making headlines. A viral video previously featured a 67-year-old man who built a fully functional electric vehicle called Pulkoodu. The car can travel up to 60 km on a single charge using just one unit of electricity. It includes headlights, indicators, and windshield wipers—proving once again that innovation isn't always high-tech or high-cost.

'If you can send people to Mars...': LA residents protest against Elon Musk's Tesla diner; constant honking, massive traffic
Hollywood residents say their life has become hell since Elon Musk's Tesla diner opened on July 21. Elon Musk's Tesla Diner in Hollywood has already rattled the LA residents as they say their life has become absolutely hell since the retro-futuristic diner opened next door on July 21. There is a massive traffic gridlock, and as the diner is open 24X7, there is constant honking but the residents have been experiencing all of it since the construction began. 'Even with the blinds closed, it feels like we're at the world's worst rave,' Kristin Rose, a local, wrote in an email to Tesla and the building manager before moving out of her apartment. The construction began in 2023, and the work went on six days a week, starting as early as 4am. Now that it opened, the suffering doubled with emissions, noise coming out of the diner. Some residents claimed that their views got blocked by the diner's one of the two 45-foot movie screens. "If you can send people to Mars, you should be able to figure out how to make this doable for residents," Laura Kody, another local, said to ABC7. "We were really excited for the supercharger station; we thought it would bring good business to the area, but it has caused insane gridlock from 1 pm to 1 am," a Hollywood resident said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ranked: The Most Stunning Underrated Coastal Getaways in Europe Learn More Undo "The gridlock is insane. I can imagine that if there's an emergency or something, an ambulance would literally not be able to get to us and that's extremely concerning for me because my parents are elderly," she added. Anti-Tesla protesters added to the noise this weekend as they were there in front of the diner with signs reading 'Fuck Nazi Billionaires' and 'Boycott Tesla'. 11-hour wait for Tesla burgers and fries Musk's idea of a 'old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant' goes back to 2018 when he proposed this. Since opening on Monday, the retro-futuristic diner with electric vehicle-charging stations has had long lines of customers who are served burgers in Cybertruck-designed boxes. One customer posted to YouTube that he waited 11 hours for the restaurant to open.
