PHOTOS: Kurdish man makes his own Lamborghini

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan24) – It took one year to make the Lamborghini, said a young Kurdish innovator on Friday.

Having a fancy car might be everyone's dream, but few would think of creating one.

Awat Salim Ali is a 26-years-old Kurd from the town of Raniya in Sulaimani Province. He told Kurdistan24, “I have wanted a fancy car, more than anything else, for at least ten years."

He stated that he made the car within a year, starting from mid-2014 and finishing in July 2015. “I borrowed the basic parts of the car like motors, tires, and some wires, but in general, I made the car from scratch.”

Regarding the design of the Lamborghini, he mentioned that he has combined two different models, Gallardo and Aventador, to make up his own desired version.

Ali is a graduate from Raparin Computer Science College. His brother, Karwan, a graduate of Accounting Department in Koye College helped him in the process. Ali mentioned that both worked as blacksmiths for years.

“I chose Lamborghini because it is a very expensive car. I can afford other cars, but buying Lamborghini is almost impossible,” he said.

Additionally, Ali mentioned that before Lamborghini, he made a red motorcycle and a yellow Jeep-like vehicle. They each took less than a year.

He plans to create more expensive cars in the future if the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) supports him.
