ALBAWABA - A young Egyptian man living in the Dakahlia Governorate was successfully able to create a car that mimics the design of Lamborghini models, using simple, readily available materials on his rooftop.

According to Egyptian media, the car is named "Kemet" and adorned with Pharaonic drawings inspired by ancient Egyptian civilization, reflecting the identity.

The young inventor was identified as Essam El-Hendy, and he explained that he dreamed for years of creating a Lamborghini car.

El-Hendy began implementing it gradually without any industrial support or institutional funding, relying entirely on his personal effort and experience.

He added that the manufacturing process took several years of trials and experiments, and cost approximately 1 million Egyptian pounds (more than $21,000), including the design of the structure, cutting, shaping and welding work, while he only used a ready-made engine.

Images and videos of the car spread widely across social media, where they received a great deal of interaction, and many praised the importance of supporting such young talents and providing industrial incubators that help them turn their ideas into real productive projects.
