Video: Kerala Man Builds His Dream Lamborghini At Home, Uses Alto Wheels And Scrap Parts
Bibin's DIY Huracan replica is a tribute to passion, patience, and pure ingenuity—crafted entirely in India.
Many of us have grown up with posters of flashy supercars on our bedroom walls. For some, those dreams remain fantasies.
But for Bibin from Kerala, it became a mission. He didn't just want a Lamborghini — he decided to build one with his own hands.
Built from Scratch
Bibin, who works in the QA department of a company in Kerala, started this ambitious project three years ago. With a tight schedule and limited funds, he has managed to complete around 70–80 percent of the replica Huracán so far.
As per Cartoq, he sourced parts from local hardware shops and scrapyards, using metal pipes to form the body frame. Cardboard sheets were placed on the structure, followed by fibreglass to mould the Lamborghini-like curves.
Bibin took the exact measurements of the original Huracán. However, buying identical wheels proved costly. So, he chose Maruti Alto wheels and redesigned the car to match their size — giving it a proportionate look, though slightly smaller than the real deal.
The replica includes butterfly doors and a rear-mounted engine sourced from a Maruti 800. He even built a custom exhaust system at home. Perhaps the most impressive touch: a nose-lift feature powered by a car jack and a wiper motor, all operated by the push of a button.
Bibin has already spent around Rs 1.5 lakh on the build, and while it's only 70 percent done, the quality is jaw-dropping. It's easily one of the best home-built Huracan replicas in India. A quick test drive reveals it's not perfect yet—but it's incredibly promising.
With more support and funds, Bibin hopes to complete the car soon. And when he does, it will stand as a proudly Indian-made Lamborghini—built not in a factory, but in a garage.

(AP) He became the first Black driver to win a major race on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.5-mile oval, surviving a late rain delay, two overtimes, concerns over running out of fuel and a hard-charging Kyle Larson on Sunday in the Brickyard 400. 'Unbelievable,' Wallace shouted on his radio after crossing the yard of bricks. Besides making history, Wallace is also in for a solid payday. How much prize money Bubba Wallace will get The total prize pool stands at $11,055,250, with the winner reportedly set to get eight to ten per cent of this amount – which translates to a check of around $884,420 and $1,105,525.

Larson trailed by 5.057 seconds with 14 laps to go but the gap was down to about three seconds with six remaining when the yellow flag came out because of rain. The cars rolled to a stop on pit lane with four to go, giving Wallace about 20 additional minutes to think and rethink his restart strategy.

Wallace risked everything by staying on the track then beat the defending race winner off the restart again to prevent Larson from becoming the fourth back-to-back winner of the Brickyard. Next up, cup drivers will continue their brief Midwestern tour next Sunday when they race at Iowa. (With AP inputs)

Indian automobile industry may grow by 6-7% in FY26 amid damp consumer demand: Report
The Indian automobile sector is expected to grow by 6-7 per cent in the fiscal year (FY26) amid damp consumer demand across most vehicle categories, according to a report by Motilal Oswal. As per the report, volumes in the two-wheeler category fell the highest compared to passenger vehicles (PV) and commercial vehicles (CVs) in the first quarter of FY26 (Q1FY26). The two-wheeler segment remained under pressure due to muted demand. In the April-June quarter of FY26, motorcycle sales fell by 9 per cent year-on-year, ICE scooter sales declined 5 per cent year-on-year, and moped volumes also slid by 11 per cent year-on-year. By contrast, the PV category posted a 1.4 per cent decline in volumes, with the small car segment being impacted significantly due to the volumes of key models such as Maruti Alto, Spresso, and Celerio witnessing sharp year-on-year declines in Q1FY26. The commercial vehicle (CV) segment, meanwhile, saw a marginal decline in volumes. While MHCV goods registered a 4.5 per cent dip, LCV goods fell by 0.5 per cent. However, bus sales remained a bright spot, with MHCV buses growing 7.6 per cent and LCV buses up 8.8 per cent. In terms of OEMs' performance, Tata Motors underperformed across all four CV sub-segments, while VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) managed to outperform in most, according to Motilal Oswal. 'Our focus would be to deliver industry-beating growth (in FY26) because one, this year is possibly the strongest product cycle for us, and the freshest portfolio. We have a low base for FY25. On the SUV side also, we will be coming with a multipowertrain on Harrier and Safari, including the petrol version,' said Shailesh Chandra, MD, Tata Motors & Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, earlier at the Q4FY25 post-earnings conference call in May. Chandra had said that there would be re-varianting and repositioning of certain products in the portfolio. 'We have the full year for Nexon CNG and also, we will launch Sierra. So, even SUVs are going to be strong…it's going to be a very strong year for us,' he said. The top Tata Motors executive had said that the company will strengthen its value proposition of its existing EV products, in terms of value-price equation. 'It's going to be a strong year for us on the EV side also,' Chandra said. Its homegrown rival, Mahindra & Mahindra, too, is confident of growth this year. Nalinikant Gollagunta, CEO (automotive division) at Mahindra & Mahindra, said the company remains confident of mid-to-high teens growth in the SUV segment, along with strong double-digit export growth. He also reaffirmed guidance for high single-digit growth in LCVs for the full fiscal, according to a report by news agency ANI . The brokerage said that the industry may remain in a cautious phase in the near term, with a rebound largely dependent on rural demand recovery, fuel price stability, and broader economic conditions.
