Guo, a Chinese farmer in his 50s, has built a replica scale-model Lamborghini car for his grandson, and it’s pretty good considering it cost less than $1,000. Photos by AFP Photo / Handout

In pictures: Chinese farmer builds DIY Lamborghini for grandson
Guo, left, a farmer in his 50s, sits in his self-made scale replica of a Lamborghini.
Guo spent six months and about 5,000 yuan ($821) to make the two-metre long, one metre wide “lamborghini” as a toy for his grandson.
The replica is mainly made of scrap metal and parts from electric bicycles.
It bears five sets of batteries and can travel about 50 kilometres on a single charge.
