This car has been created by literally pounding it’s unique design into shape by hand and some basic tools. The end result?
A sports car design and accomplishment that is truly unbelievable and you really need to see it to believe it!

The car you see below has not been created by any well-known sports car manufacturer you may know of, but by one man with a vision, and with help of his team of assistants that gave him some extra hands to work with.

It’s a marvellous achievement to create when you virtually have nothing to work with, and you don’t have the expensive and experienced design teams like BMW or Porsche has, the materials and tools needed – and still Nizamuddin Awlia, or better known as Leepu has done the unthinkable.

Creating an amazing custom ride with the help of his mechanics and basic sheet metal that is being used to build rickshaws that roam Dhaka’s streets in Bangladesh, and using what’s left of an old wrecked Toyota Sprinter and other scrap yard materials.

Of course you can’t expect a level of sophistication when it comes to engine technology that BMW or Porsche can deliver, and certainly not the level of comfort as you can see when a road test is being performed by Leepu and Bernie creating havoc in Dhaka’s streets.

Check out the video to see how the car drives, it’s a complete monster!
The test drive starts around 3 minutes and 25 seconds.
It also shows a basic summary how the car came to life.

Still in terms of design it’s a piece of art and a great achievement.

Thankfully – Bernie Fineman is with him to keep the safety aspects in mind that are required to keep up an acceptable level of safety.

In his country Bangladesh, Leepu has become a true icon and example of ingenuity and sheer drive to accomplish the unthinkable.
As a 16-year-old living in Saudi Arabia, he was love struck with all the great car designs he witnessed from brands like Lamborghini and Aston Martin when visiting a car show with his father.

Of course he wanted to buy one, (Don’t we all?) – but with the hefty price tags on these cars this was of course out of his reach and received not-surprisingly a big fat “No!” – when he asked “Can i have one?” – and instead started to create his own designs based on the famous sports cars desired by people all over the world.

The Bangla Bangers show really placed his name on the automotive map, and Leepu now operates his own Chop Shop in London together with Bernie Fineman.
Check some of the automotive art works they have made already and are selling.

A new show, called the Chop Shop has come alive, and a must see if you want to see how Leepu and Bernie takes customization to a new level, and it’s fun and entertaining to watch as well!

As a team they can do great things and CustomRides.com wants to wish them all the best with their new creations!

   Hi Sachin,

   Unfortunately i don’t see a way to contact Leepu or Bernie via their website which is mentioned in the article above, the contact form is broken.

   I have contacted the company responsible for Leepu’s website and will let you know if a reply will be given with information how to get in touch with Leepu or Bernie for a car customizing job.
