Powered by dreams, Aromal’s replica Lamborghini takes shape in Kerala's Alappuzha
ALAPPUZHA: For most children, a toy car is simply something to play with. For 24-year-old Aromal Unni of Thamarakulam, a toy Lamborghini became the starting point of a dream that would take years of patience and plenty of hard work to realise.
Today, Aromal has a Lamborghini of his own — not a showroom model costing crores of rupees, but a working replica of a Lamborghini Huracan 610-4 that he designed and built himself using locally sourced materials and the engine of an old Ford car.
An automobile-engineering student, Aromal began dreaming of the supercar while he was preparing for his Class 10 examinations. He spotted a remote-controlled Lamborghini model at a nearby shop and bought it with money from his mother. Little did he know that the toy would eventually inspire him to build a full-sized version.
