"Afghanistan recently unveiled what may be its first sports car and Taliban officials are recognizing the achievement.
On Sunday, Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban's official spokesperson, shared a video on Twitter of the car doing donuts in the snow. He said the car was an honor for the country, according to The Telegraph.
The vehicle, named Mada 9, was built over five years by a company named Entop with a team of 30 engineers and designers from the Afghanistan Technical Vocational Institute, according to a report by Tolo News, a local Afghanistan news channel.
The head of the school, Ghulam Haidar Shahamat, told the outlet that the engine is "powerful enough" to allow the driver to increase the speed. But, he noted, the engine is from a 2000 Toyota Corolla.
