Overview

• Bibin Chacko has spent three years handcrafting a Lamborghini Huracan replica using fibreglass, multiwood and a custom-built chassis from scrap parts
• The homebuilt car runs on a Maruti 800 engine in place of the original V10 to showcase resourceful and frugal engineering
• On June 27, automotive vlogger Arun Smoki’s share of Chacko’s YouTube video sent views past 100,000 and brought mainstream media attention
• The project is about 70–80% complete, with exterior bodywork and chassis finished but the interior and final fittings still pending
• Enthusiasts have offered parts, technical expertise and fabrication hours to help Chacko complete the remaining stages
