The young man revealed that the car was made from renewable materials and its top speed was 30km/hr.

Another man builds Lamborghini replica

Similarly, a young man who fabricated a Lamborghini car for himself showed it off as he refilled his tank with fuel.

Many people found it funny that the tank was close to the passenger and driver seats. After the man, @kalenk_04, had fueled the car in a TikTok video, he drove it at a relatively good speed.
