Speaking to Hindustan Times, Nurul said that he is a fan of the Fast & Furious movies, and he always wanted to drive sports cars such as Ferrari or Lamborghini. It was during the first lockdown, Nurul started toying with the idea of building his own Lamborghini replica. He said that he started to build the parts of the replica of Lamborghini by watching YouTube videos after buying a second-hand Maruti Swift.

He said that he didn’t realize that it would be a costly affair. Further added, “From buying the engine and the raw material to giving it the final shape, the total expenditure was around ₹ 6,20,000. I am not sure if even developing such a replica is legal. I want to drive the car across the state and I hope the police won’t arrest me and seize my car.”

Talking about if he was willing to sell the car, he asserted that he is willing to sell the car, but only to someone equally passionate about it.“I am willing to sell this car but it has to be someone who understands the value of this model. Only a sports enthusiast can relate to my passion,” he said.

Nurul plans to build a customized replica of a Ferrari next.
