Taliban hails construction of first 'supercar' powered by Toyota Corolla engine

The Taliban has revealed the first-ever supercar designed and built in Afghanistan.

The prototype sports car, called 'Mada 9', has been built by 30 engineers from the brand ENTOP and Kabul's Afghanistan Technical Vocational Institute (ATVI). Footage of the vehicle appeared on social media but it was mainly stationary, and therefore its road capabilities are still largely unknown.

Another clip showed it rolling down the road at a slow speed, the Daily Mirror reports.
