Kerala man builds dream Lamborghini replica with Alto parts, scrap materials worth Rs 1.5 lakh
Chacko documented the journey showcasing his DIY Lamborghini, which is winning plaudits. It's part of his ongoing series titled Homemade Supercar, which includes nine detailed episodes capturing the entire building process, from gathering scrap materials to final polish. Instead of high-end materials, Chachko used fibreglass and multiwood to shape the body of the car, achieving a look strikingly close to the real Huracan, and used a fully custom-made chassis by hand.
He further revealed that he could only work on his creation during the night due to his busy schedule. Chacko also shared that he has already invested around Rs 1.5 lakh. However, he estimates that 20 to 30 per cent of the work is still pending. The interiors remain unfinished, with no cushioning yet installed on the seats.
