See The Made In Nigeria Sports Cars That Was Made By A Nigerian – PHOTOS

Greatness is not about by race, tribe, colour or by affluence, greatness lives in creativity, creativity lives and thrives where imagination meets realization which is the final output of the imaginary.

A Nigerian named Jerry Mallo has unveiled Nigeria’s first-ever sports car that was made, fabricated and constructed in Nigeria.
According to reports, Mallo who was born in Jos, Plateau State, stated that he was inspired to create the sports car because Nigeria and Africa is a very big market for luxury vehicles.

In Europe, we learnt that making the car is just half of the challenge, and selling it is the other half; Africa is usually is the target place to sell these vehicles, so I feel there’s a big market for it here,” Mallo stated.

Mallo said, the continent has all the required resources and raw materials used in manufacturing the products, sadly, the vehicles are rarely made in Africa, hence, the reason he thought to fill the void. He said he delved into creating such a luxurious vehicle, Mallo said there are a lot of hand-skilled individuals in Nigeria who are wasting away because the nation tends to favours the theoretical more than the practical.
The Bennie Purrie was unveiled at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja over the week where the state government presents their latest discovery to the world.

Speaking about the specifications, Mallo explained that most people get crushed and mashed in cars because those cars are made from aluminium or galvanized sheets that cannot absorb shocks at high speed.

He said that his cars are made of fibres which have the characteristics of glass, noting that if they get hit, they break like bottles and the airbags protect the individuals.

Mallo said the cars are also made with tubular chassis in that it gives a firm body to the car which makes it rugged for Nigerian roads.

Regarding the speed, the fabricator says his first model goes from 0 to 120 in 12seconds. He adds that it is a 2.0litre engine car which produces about 130 big horsepower.
