The first sports automobile in Afghanistan is praised by Taliban leaders. An engine from a 2000 Toyota Corolla powers it.






  • A team of engineers and designers built what may be Afghanistan's first sports car.
  • The car's power relies on a modded 2000 Toyota Corolla engine, according to a Tolo News report.
  • The Taliban's spokesperson shared a video of the car, called Mada 9, doing donuts in the snow.
Taliban leaders have lately acknowledged Afghanistan's achievement in revealing what may be the country's first sports automobile.

The Taliban's main spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid tweeted a video of the automobile performing donuts in the snow on Twitter on Sunday. According to The Telegraph, he claimed that the car was a tribute to the nation.





According to a report by the local Afghanistan news channel Tolo News, the Mada 9 vehicle was constructed over the course of five years by the company Entop with a group of 30 engineers and designers from the Afghanistan Technical Vocational Institute.

According to the outlet's interview with the school's dean, Ghulam Haidar Shahamat, the engine is "strong enough" to permit the driver to increase the speed. But the engine is from a 2000 Toyota Corolla, he pointed out.

He continued, "The main goal is to put an electric engine in it."




Both the car's characteristics and its top speed are unknown. Other than the video supplied by the Taliban spokesperson, there are no other footage of the car travelling at great speeds or performing tricky manoeuvres.


The Mada 9's creator, Mohammad Riza Ahmadi, told Tolo News that he thinks the car will serve as a lighthouse for the troubled nation.

He remarked, "This car will be an ambassador and will travel throughout Afghanistan and teach the people the value of information."

One advertisement for the vehicle opens with a view of a desert floor covered in gunshot holes before it zooms in on a scruffy man. The man approaches a covered vehicle and finally steps over a bullet-filled road to reveal the Mada 9.
