GJILAN, Kosovo – Sports car enthusiast Driton Selmani always wanted some hot wheels but couldn’t afford them. What he did have, however, was a workshop and a talent for bending and welding metal. So he set out to build himself a “Lamborghini.”
Selmani, from the eastern Kosovo town of Gjilan, used a second-hand Mitsubishi Eclipse, the engine of 3.0-litre Mitsubishi Galant and other car parts to make his dream come true.

It took him over a year but the result is a replica of a white Lamborghini Reventon with a black and red stripe symbolizing the colours of the Albanian national flag.
According to local media reports, it cost Selmani €30,000 (C$45,000) to build the replica. An authentic Reventon sells for over C$1.8 million.
Selmani said the car has been well accepted by friends and family and it turns heads when he takes it out for a spin.
