@@aw1wcmvzc2l2zq2 I wouldn't say the Taliban are stupid. When you're while group is dedicated to defeating the strongest nation on earth, you tend to learn a few skills along the way. And once all those skilled in retooling, repairing, and making military equipment are done with that stuff when the enemy leaves, they tend to put their skills to good use elsewhere.

"Developing the engine is the really hard part" - so hard that many big name companies develop them as part of a joint venture or outright buy the engine off another manufacturer. A lot of the other key components are made by highly specialised suppliers that supply much of the industry, some that you've probably heard of (Bosch, Continental, Denso, Aisin) and many more that you've never heard of. The only manufacturer I know of that makes literally every part in-house is Koenigsegg, and they price their cars accordingly.

Most of the difficulty comes from European and American emissions requirements and pedestrian safety regulations, as well as extremely strict NVH expectations from consumers. Back in the day GM had a dozen different engines and a dozen variants of each all being built at the same time with new variants every couple years. Even AMC had a few unique in-house engines. But those times are long gone. Lack of those regs is the reason you can buy half a dozen unique small engines at harbor freight alone.

With that being said, if the Taliban can manage to at least keep Afghanistan more secure than when warlords were essentially running the country then there might be opportunities for engineering innovations to flourish.

1:20 This is almost historic revisionism. Japan was an industrial powerhouse before the war as well (you can‘t exactly fight a large scale war without it) and after the war Japan received quite a lot of help and favorable deals for the US (at least for a time), probably because they used Japan as their anchor in the asian theater and as a bulwark against the USSR, CCP and other socialist nations or movements. So its not really like Japan came from nothing, instead thanks to US help, they were able to rebuild to their former economic might rather quickly, same thing happened in Germany. And it happened for mainly two reasons: - Paying huge reparations is a significant reason as to why Hitler rose to power and nobody wanted to repeat that mistake (though both nations still payed reparations but mostly by giving up land claims). - Germany and Japan were the front against a new perceived threat, socialism. So building them up as close allies to the US was considered extremely important to not ‚lose‘ them to socialism. Edit: To be a bit more clear. This will not be Afghanistans salvation (sadly) because they completely lack the industrial capabilities Germany and Japan had, they would first have to built up these supply chains while being under US sanctions. At best they can hope to imitate Cuba, a country which lacks certain things we take for granted, mostly because of US sanctions, but in other areas they quite literally outperform the US. In the case of Cuba this is med-tech, they very successfully built up their medicine sector to the point where it can compete with significantly richer countries.

Yeah, on a different note from my other comment I think you're right - this looks like a respectable operation. Nothing like what they do at Corvette, or even Volvo, but it's something. It's a start. They should be proud, as long as they're being realistic. And they are. It sounds like they fully understand that they're not REALLY building a supercar, they're building a cool looking sedan that can pass for a supercar if you're showing it off to someone who isn't an expert on supercars. Not stupid, but also not overwhelmingly impressive. But definitely indicative of the kind of pace we can expect their economy to improve at, I think. These are people who have all likely lived in abysmal conditions at some point in life. They know what rock bottom looks like and they've crawled their way up from that. The only way they're going back there is if someone pushes them down again. I hope they're allowed to make something of themselves this time instead. In fact, expanding on that, it really gives the impression that they've taken the lessons they've learned during the hard times their country went through and used them for something bigger. Their country has been through sanctions, constant war, so anyone who was working in manufacturing or repairs there during that time must be an EXPERT improviser. It shows. These guys are taking an old engine and a bunch of metal and creating a car almost entirely from scratch, and they're not failing. Even if they come up short, the level of success here is impressive enough that it could be a stepping stone to something better even if their car falls short of the modest expectations they've set for themselves. And that's the most respectable thing about this - they're using big talk to get people's attention, being modest to keep people's attention, and their action product is somewhere in the middle. I can't say I think their product is amazing or really even worth buying except as a curiosity, but the passion and skills being applied to it are real and worthy of recognition if nothing else.

Afghanistan had a middle and upper class which most of these guys likely belong to. They probably grew up living comfortable lives and studied at foreign universities while the ordinary Afghans were getting drone striked, they clearly had the connections needed to get the Taliban to subsidize this project with taxes levied from the people that were actually suffering during the war.

If the car isn't heavy, and the suspension is tuned right, it can be still extremely fun to drive, just think about cars like the MX-5, GT86, basically every Lotus ever, older Minis, etc...

I remember Dodge Viper used a truck engine because they were in a tight budget back then Hope that Corolla engine could be more optimized to yield more power or torque. If it can give GR Corolla kind of power it probably made many buyers happy. Even better if the Corolla engine is for the base model, and hopefully they wil make a higher trim with better engine.

Perhaps it will be fine with such a little engine but a V8 or V12 will need a total rethinking of this car

Compare to the facilities they have this car is amazing. This shows the talent of Afghan people. Let them live in peace and within few decades they'll be in competition with world in everything.

It’s important that you touched on how normal the lives of some of those men seem. It’s so easy for people to forget than people living under oppressive regimes are still people. They still have lives, feelings, friends, and family. People are not the regimes they live under, and their humanity cannot be talked about like it’s somehow different.

I don't know the cost of the machines but you will find them in any decent engineering University. I was in mechanical engineering and there were two clubs(mechanical engineering students) that built cars every year. Around 20 guys did almost all the stuff. One car for the conventional road and another for difficult terrain. They bought the engine obviously. You will find all the machines in mechanical engineering labs and in manufacturing/production engineering labs

I know what we're supposed to believe about Afghanistan. But as a 20 year old if I've learnt anything in life yet, it is that nothing is ever truly good or bad, its always somewhere in the middle. So kudos to Afghanis for trying to get back on their feet and wishing you the best of luck to show the world your passionate side.

Big engines produce a lot of power but they also carry a lot of weight. An i4 1.8L 16v engine can probably make 160bhp with a bit of tuning strap a turbo on and some bigger fuel injectors and you can easily get 500+ bhp. If you can keep the weight of the vehicle down to around 750-1100 kgs It will go like the proverbial 💩 off a shovel.

I don't think you realise how much power those Toyota Corolla Engines can make...... Those things can pump out north of 1000BHP at the crank without even boring the thing out to 2.0L (which is a very common modification), you just add a Turbo and decent ECU. If they genuinely manage to actually get 500BHP or more from this engine at the wheels when tested on a German or Japanese made dyno then they may get themselves some recognition.

Honestly even if lacking power, if they focused on making it as lightweight and nicely handling as possible (as far as their resources allow them ofc), they could do something in the direction of what Lotus does. Though I wonder much they will be able to build up off that engine, assuming it's a 1ZZFE since the news said "2000 corolla engine".

Respect tho to the team

When put in a light body and rebuilt and tuned well, a 1.8L can scream. It'll certainly get way better mileage than the worlds other super cars.

I'm gonna give the designers props, this thing looks way better than a lot of actual Italian Supercars

yo this looks sick. i hope they put it in Forza.

i swear, they were planning this from the start. also about the engine, the lotus elise does a similar method. im going to love driving, fixing and modding it in 2030.

It's basically a kit car. Edit: after watching the full video, I must admit that this is really creative. It's not at all technologically advanced, and the interior probably looks nothing like a supercar, but still they made something cool looking from what they have access to. And I can respect their effort. The effort of the engineers and mechanics that is... There is human creativity even in the darkest places.
