Proving he has some real talent, a kid in Nigeria has been using TikTok to show off the Lamborghini-like car he built himself using scrap metal and other budget materials. The level of grit he’s shown has inspired quite a few people online and helped his build go viral on social media.
Subaru takes a Jeep trail, owner threatened with steep fine.
After all, he kind of nails the angular, geometric design language of Lamborghini, giving it a little spin to make it his own. Most people would have trouble creating something that doesn’t look like a melted candy bar when it comes to creating an entire car, so hats off to this kid and his ingenuity.

The kid has made another Lamborghini-inspired ride out of cardboard, we guess as a model before creating the body panels out of iron like his other car. It’s an interesting way to work and build stuff, but we’ve seen this trick used effectively by fabricators here as well as abroad.
We’re not sure how the cars are powered, but we did notice the wheels up front are comically small compared to the rear. Obviously, it’s nothing like a fire-breathing V10, but making use of on-hand materials to create something this incredible-looking when people who have far better materials, tools, and facilities struggle is really something.
What’s also amazing is the lack of safety gear the kid uses as he welds, grinds, and otherwise works with the metal on his car’s frame and body. From the way he does all these activities in the different videos, we’d say he’s been working with the tools like this for a while, so to him it’s no big deal, even if people in other areas are cringing at the lack of protective clothing and gear.

For example, he uses a ski mask and sunglasses while welding in one video. Just let that sink in for a second.
Hopefully this kid keeps learning and inspires others in his country as well as elsewhere to do the same.
