A teenager constructed a $114,000,000 Lamborghini using only cardboard, creating a working vehicle that surprisingly reaches speeds of 24mph.
A teenager from Nigeria has captured the attention of many by creating a remarkable replica of a Lamborghini.
This isn’t just any replica; it is made almost entirely out of cardboard and can actually drive.
The car is inspired by the Lamborghini Egoista, which has a price tag of $114 million.
Etsenumhe Ahmad, the 18-year-old creator, spent two years working on this impressive project.
Teenager creates a $114M Lamborghini from only cardboard
Most people dream of owning a luxurious car like a Lamborghini. However, for many, this dream feels impossible due to the high costs.
Etsenumhe decided to take a different approach. Instead of trying to buy an expensive car, he used his creativity and skills to build one.
He used cardboard packaging and a small motorcycle engine to create a functional car that had a top speed of 24 mph.
Building this cardboard Lamborghini was not an easy task. Etsenumhe spent two years designing and constructing it.
“I believe my ability to create replicas stems from a natural talent always possessed, rather than something specifically learned.”
“Tbh, I source the materials for my replicas by recycling waste materials. I believe in the power of sustainability and reusing what would otherwise be discarded, turning it into something valuable and functional.”
During the building process, he sourced materials by recycling waste items, showing his commitment to sustainability.
Why did the man use cardboard for his Lamborghini?
Using cardboard may seem unusual for building a car, but Etsenumhe wanted to prove that anyone can create something special with limited resources.
The choice of material also reflects his belief in recycling and sustainability.
By using materials that would otherwise be thrown away, he turns waste into something valuable.
Etsenumhe does not just keep the car for show; he actually drives it around.
While the top speed of 24 mph is not very fast compared to real sports cars, it is still impressive for a cardboard vehicle.
He enjoys taking it for rides in his neighborhood and sharing this experience with his followers online.
The cost of insurance
Driving a cardboard car might sound fun, but it also comes with challenges. One concern Etsenumhe has is the cost of insurance.
While it is less likely to cause harm at a slower speed, he still needs to consider safety.
Given that it is made from cardboard, the insurance costs might be high due to the unique nature of the vehicle.
Social media reactions
Etsenumhe has gained popularity on TikTok, where he shares videos of his cardboard car.
Since he started posting, he has attracted over 400,000 followers. His videos have received millions of views, making him a well-known figure in the online community.
People are fascinated by his creativity and the effort he put into this project.
One user said: I would still rather drive that than a Tesla
The second user added: Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
The third user commented: To everyone hating on this young boy, I bet you couldn’t do this with just cardboard.
The fourth user said: 90 million Pound, might as well purchase a fighter jet.
Another user wrote: What was the windscreen made out of, if it was completely made of cardboard?
