Wang Jian, a Chinese farmer who worked at a garage for more than a decade, built himself a replica of a Lamborghini Reventon using parts from a second-hand Nissan and a Santana, Reuters reports.

The self-made roadster cost Wang around 60,000 RMB ($9,450) and can reach a maximum speed of 160mph, according to local media reports.

With a list price of $1.6 million, the Lamborghini Reventon was named one of the world's most expensive cars by Supercars.org.
