Taliban unveil their supercar (video)

The Mada 9 has already been tested

Newsroom January 12 06:04

Taliban-ruled Afghanistan debuted their first indigenously built supercar that they are calling Mada 9. The car is still in the prototype stage, and it took more than five years to develop the supercar. The development was led by at least 30 engineers from ENTOP and Kabul’s Afghanistan Technical Vocational Institute (ATVI).
The prototype Mada 9 is powered by a modified Toyota Corolla engine. Performance figures are yet to be revealed, however, Ghulam Haider Shahamat, the head of ATVI told Afghanistan’s TOLO news that the modification has been made in such a manner that if you increase the speed of the car, the engine will be powerful enough to take it. Later on, ENTOP will fit the Mada 9 with an electric powertrain.
