A teenage automobile enthusiast has built a fully functional Lamborghini-style car entirely out of cardboard. Etsenumhe Ahmad, 18, spent two years constructing the car, which runs on a small motorcycle engine and can reach speeds of up to 40 km/h. Inspired by his love for Lamborghini???s sleek and aggressive design, Etsenumhe crafted the replica using cardboard sourced from bike dealers??? motorcycle packaging. Despite the unconventional material, the car is fully operational. Etsenumhe, from Okpekpe, Edo State, Nigeria, said: ???I chose to style it like a Lamborghini because I???ve always been a fan of their design and performance. — The cardboard car took two years to put together (Picture: Ahmad Etsenumhe / SWNS)

Ahmad told Supercar Blondie: ‘I believe my ability to create replicas stems from a natural talent that I’ve always possessed, rather than something I specifically learned.

‘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.’
