Kerala man builds dream Lamborghini replica with Alto parts, scrap materials worth Rs 1.5 lakh

Indian Express14-07-2025
A Lamborghini Huracan replica is grabbing eyeballs on social media, not for its speed or luxury parts, but for the story behind its creation. Bipin Chacko, the mastermind behind this project, from Kerala, spent three years building his dream supercar using scrap materials.
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.

The video gained traction after popular auto vlogger Arun Smoki shared it, garnering over a lakh views and sparking a sea of reactions. 'Absolutely mind-blowing! Turning scrap into stunning Art takes skill, patience, and pure passion. Hats off to you for making the impossible look possible,' a user wrote. 'No one will raise you here bro. Go out somewhere and escape,' another user commented. 'Don't call it Lamborghini bro. its ur creative make ur brand with perfect name,' a third user reacted.
A similar story emerged on social media earlier, where a 67-year-old man built an electric vehicle in Kerala. The vehicle uses up to one unit of electricity worth Rs 5 and could run 60 km when fully charged.
