This boy from Nigeria has wowed the internet by building a replica Lamborghini out of scrap metal.
Videos shared online showed Ahmad hard at work on his replicas, which are so well built you can drive them.
The clips have amassed millions of views and earned him praise from thousands of admirers.
It’s not just online that he’s receiving a ton of fanfare, either – people in his town seem to love his creations, too.

The scrap metal Lamborghini replica that has captivated the internet
Seeing his videos, it’s clear that Ahmad has a lot of admiration for Lamborghinis.
We always love to see people put their creativity to good use by crafting an homage to a car they love.
There have been some amazing replicas in recent years, like this Jaguar XJ220 built from scratch and this wooden BMW Lovos Custom King Cobra.

At Supercar Blondie, we’ve seen a lot of impressive DIY projects over the years.
So you can believe us when we tell you that what Ahmad is doing makes him a genius in his own right.
With just his TikTok account to go on, it’s not clear how old he is – but his work would be commendable at any age.

His replica also really nailed the angular look of a Lamborghini, which can’t have been easy.
And as if one awesome imitation wasn’t enough, he then went ahead and made another one – out of cardboard this time.
If anything, that’s even more epic.

Cardboard is durable enough to be a moving box, but it’s not something you’d ever think of as car material.
For Ahmad to have taken it and transformed it into an automobile, then, is a credit to his exceptional skill.
Here’s hoping the Volkswagen Group notice Ahmad’s ingenuity somehow.
How the internet reacted to this boy from Nigeria and his talent
Interest in Ahmad’s work is evident both in real life and online.
In the videos shared on his TikTok, locals gathered around his replicas in awe.

The cardboard Lambo seemed to be a particular favorite, as it would often stop in the streets to allow the people of Nigeria to get a closer look.
And in the comments section of his videos, Ahmad also received high praise from all corners of TikTok.
“This boy got talent,” one admirer wrote.
“The frame [alone] looks good, but when the full body finishes, it looks awesome,” another said.

With such amazing creativity, this kid will go far in life, that’s for sure.
Seeing someone’s talent being appreciated is always nice to see, as it was when this dad put his abilities to good use by making his son a wooden Sian Roadster.
