Exporting cars in India is not an easy country when it comes to car imports. With the high import taxes involved, there are only a few people who can import vehicles and use them legally in this country. That is why many enthusiasts resort to modifying regular cars and make them look like exotic replicas. Here is one such replica modified in Jaipur by Prateek Nagpal. Under the skin, it is a Honda Civic though. Here are the details.

This Lamborghini Centenario replica has the same dimensions as the original Centenario as the video mentions. It has a two-stage retractable roof that is operated by a battery.
