Afghanistan is probably the last place anyone will imagine a supercar will be built. But, a team of Afghan supercar enthusiasts and engineers are rewriting that narrative.

The supercar’s name will be “Mada 9”, and the video of it has been circulating on social media as it’s also gone viral.
Since going viral, many people have been able to show their appreciation online for the Mada 9, which seems to have come out of nowhere.
However, the details of the secretive supercar are scarce, to say the least.
According to rumours, the car is made from lightweight composite materials. It’s also rumoured to be based on a tubular frame chassis, with F1-style pushrod suspension and a mid-engine configuration; in other words, the engine will sit behind the driver.
But, how big the engine is and its output is yet unknown.
The Mada 9 supercar prototype has been built from the ground up at the Navavari Center of Technical and Vocational Education of Afghanistan.
The prototype has also been developed with the hilly terrains of Afghanistan in mind and will be rigorously tested before eventually being put into production.
Muhammad Raza Ahmadi, the CEO of ENTOP, the brand responsible for Mada 9, said that the team has been developing the prototype’s body and engine for five years.
That means it won’t take time for the finished product to be finally out.
According to Ahmadi, the project will be concluded in two weeks, which he plans to unveil at a car exhibition in Qatar, where the 2022 FIFA World Cup is currently being held.
The Mada 9 Supercar – A First For Afghanistan
While developing the Mada 9 might seem like an overly ambitious project, it is still proof of a significant milestone for the people of Afghanistan if the supercar is successful.
