Chinese race car enthusiasts, Wang Yu and Li Lintao, both in their 30s, have made two replicas of the Lamborghini Diablo, which can reach the top speed of 310km/h.

The duo is currently working on a replica of the T-Rex motorcycle.

They spent approximately 5 million Yuan (around USD811,899) to buy parts and hire workers, and about six years to assemble them with the knowledge they gained from studying mechanology for nearly a decade abroad.

Yu and Lintao became popular after showing their first handmade replica of Lamborghini Diablo at the Beijing International Automobile Exhibition in 2012, and sold their second Lamborghini replica to Alibaba as a collection.
