In an inspiring story of passion and craftsmanship, Mohammad Arif ‘Tarzan’ from Chandil in Jharkhand’s Seraikela-Kharsawan district has transformed an old Maruti 800 into a stunning replica of a Lamborghini Aventador.
Built over two years at a cost of nearly Rs 4 lakh, the modified car leaves onlookers stunned and has gone viral on social media. Crafted in his modest Tarzan Garage, the car has become a symbol of desi innovation and dedication.
Inspired by ‘Tarzan: The Wonder Car’
For many who grew up in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Tarzan: The Wonder Car was more than just a movie — it was a dream. Arif was one of those dreamers. Working as a car mechanic for over a decade, he always aspired to build his own “Tarzan car.” So deep was his passion that he adopted the nickname “Tarzan.” That childhood dream finally took shape when he decided to reimagine a humble Maruti 800 into a supercar-inspired masterpiece.
Two Years of Hard Work, Built by Hand
Instead of relying on a big factory or advanced workshop, Arif worked out of his small garage. Over two years, he personally handled everything — from body cutting and welding to detailing and finishing touches. Only a few components like the music system, LED lights, and windshield were sourced externally. The rest of the transformation was completed with his own hands, skill, and creativity.
Features That Turn Heads
Whenever the car hits the road, traffic slows down as people stop to take pictures. Its features rival those of high-end luxury cars:
-
Supercar Styling: Sharp, aggressive bodywork inspired by the Lamborghini Aventador
-
Sporty Interior: Two-seater configuration with racing-style seats
-
16-inch Wide Alloy Wheels: Designed for a bold road presence
-
Roaring Exhaust: Produces a supercar-like growl on startup
-
Premium Additions: Sunroof, remote locking system, and high-fidelity music setup
The visual impact is so convincing that many mistake it for a real Lamborghini at first glance.
Viral Sensation Across Borders
Arif’s ‘Made-in-India Lamborghini’ is no longer limited to Chandil. Reels and videos of the car have garnered millions of views online. Admirers from across India — and even abroad — have praised his engineering skills and artistic vision.
What started as a childhood dream inspired by a film has now become a viral success story, proving that talent and determination can turn even the simplest machine into a show-stopping masterpiece.
