Bibin’s DIY Huracan replica is a tribute to passion, patience, and pure ingenuity—crafted entirely in India.
Bibin started the project three years ago, working after office hours and using whatever time he could spare.
Many of us have grown up with posters of flashy supercars on our bedroom walls. For some, those dreams remain fantasies.
But for Bibin from Kerala, it became a mission. He didn’t just want a Lamborghini — he decided to build one with his own hands.
Built from Scratch
Bibin, who works in the QA department of a company in Kerala, started this ambitious project three years ago. With a tight schedule and limited funds, he has managed to complete around 70–80 percent of the replica Huracán so far.
As per Cartoq, he sourced parts from local hardware shops and scrapyards, using metal pipes to form the body frame. Cardboard sheets were placed on the structure, followed by fibreglass to mould the Lamborghini-like curves.
Inspired by the Original, Adapted with Indian Ingenuity
Bibin took the exact measurements of the original Huracán. However, buying identical wheels proved costly. So, he chose Maruti Alto wheels and redesigned the car to match their size — giving it a proportionate look, though slightly smaller than the real deal.
The replica includes butterfly doors and a rear-mounted engine sourced from a Maruti 800. He even built a custom exhaust system at home. Perhaps the most impressive touch: a nose-lift feature powered by a car jack and a wiper motor, all operated by the push of a button.
Bibin has already spent around Rs 1.5 lakh on the build, and while it’s only 70 percent done, the quality is jaw-dropping. It’s easily one of the best home-built Huracan replicas in India. A quick test drive reveals it’s not perfect yet—but it’s incredibly promising.
With more support and funds, Bibin hopes to complete the car soon. And when he does, it will stand as a proudly Indian-made Lamborghini—built not in a factory, but in a garage.
