An 18-year-old whizz-kid has demoed his DIY Lamborghini made out of cardboard.
Etsenumhe Ahmad, from Nigeria, built a replica of a Lamborghini Egoista over two years out of cardboard packaging.
His viral TikTok account, Talented Ahmad, shows him touring the streets in the vehicle with crowds of flabbergasted onlookers.
The fully operational car runs with a small motorcycle engine and can reach speeds of 40km/h, or 24 mph.
Ahmad told Supercar Blondie: ‘I believe my ability to create replicas stems from a natural talent that I’ve always possessed, rather than something I specifically learned.
‘I source the materials for my replicas by recycling waste materials. I believe in the power of sustainability and reusing what would otherwise be discarded, turning it into something valuable and functional.’
The car is a stunning model of the most expensive Lambo ever sold, a Lamborghini Egoista.
The Egoista sold for $117million (£90million) to a private collector in 2013.
Video shows the Lambo on a busy Nigerian road, driving alongside motorcycles and vans.
The vehicle sticks out not only because of its cardboard base, but also its mismatched scrap wheels.
The TikToker has now amassed over 450,000 followers on the platform and has built a second wonder car out of scrap metals.
This vehicle is a model of a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, which sells at an average £500,000 in the UK.
