How To Build Your Supercar Out Of Fiberglass

Not everyone has the money or resources in life to be able to afford their own supercar. Whether it’s a supercar or any other high end car, budgets are often the problem. But this 27-year-old Chinese man, Cheng Yanski, didn’t let that stop him and took matters into his own hands and built from scratch his dream supercar. And what does Cheng do for a living? He works at a glass factory. From his own work place, he sketched out the design and then custom built the frame from galvanized steel piping. The body is made entirely from fiberglass. But what about engine you might ask?

An electric motor guessing not much like Tesla’s that only allows the car to reach a top speed of whopping 25 mph. No one ever said this was a supercar in all aspects; it only looks like one. So how much did the entire thing cost him? 30,000 yuan, or about $5,000. Not so surprisingly, the car isn’t road legal yet because it doesn’t meet Chinese safety standards (apparently there are some over there). There’s also a law stating that the government must approve all automakers who want to sell in China. Cheng obviously doesn’t meet that requirement and we ecpect will never will since there are so many details involving the law. If I was a car manufacturer i would hire this guy and put him in the design team.
