Young Chen Jinmiao built the **sports car** , himself. Chen had dreamed of driving his very own Lamborghini, ever since he was a child. And when he became a skilled mechanic, this ambitious man decided it was time for his dream to become a reality. He downloaded the necessary blueprints, began searching and manufacturing the parts , and after a year’s work, he finally had his own yellow Lamborghini. Chen Jinmiao, of Chenzhou, Hunan province, spent a total of about $3,000 on his home-made Lamborghini, and **though it might not look exactly like the real thing, it has the wing doors that open upwards, and a top speed of 60 miles per hour.** ![http://www.q8blend.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/home-made-Lamborghini3.jpg](http://www.q8blend.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/home-made-Lamborghini3.jpg) ---
