Five brothers in Raniya build custom copies of luxury cars – including this red hot Lamborghini.
The knockoff supercar cost $40,000 to build using materials chopped from other vehicles. It usually takes the team three months to copy a car, but this Lamborghini took a whole year.
The owner of the workshop says this is just a hobby.
“So far we have made seven cars,” Kemal Salim told Anadolu Agency. “This is only a hobby, not for business. We want to make the place bigger, similar to factories. We want our cars to be better and stronger than the ones we copy.
Kemal says their copies are sold at just 30 percent of the price of originals. He says their cars are rigorously tested before sale.
