"A 'Winged Horse' Rides Through the Streets of Bishkek"
An unusual car has appeared on the streets of Bishkek. Local craftsmen took some parts from a German sedan, completely changed the design, and added "horsepower." The result is a rather lively supercar. The achievements of the homemade automotive industry were observed by Rinat Shamsutdinov, a correspondent for the "MIR 24" television channel. Two SUVs and two motorcycles accompanied the exclusive "Tulpar Karager" on its first outing on the streets of Bishkek. In Kyrgyz, it translates to "winged thoroughbred horse." Six young people worked for more than six months on its creation. Under the hood is a German engine. However, the guys assure that they have rebuilt it and tailored it specifically for the "Tulpar Karager." This was done with every detail. For example, it is unlikely that anyone would recognize BMW in the car's body. "From BMW, we took the base, engine, gearbox, transmission, and suspension. But we didn't just take them; we tuned them," said auto electrician Emil Asanov. The project's author, Meder Koilubaev, is no stranger to producing exclusive cars. Last year, he and his team presented a Lamborghini. However, at that time, the model was an installation. The success inspired the young people so much that they decided to build a real supercar at all costs. The presentation of the "Tulpar" attracted ordinary citizens, car enthusiasts, and businessmen. Some discussed the appearance and technical specifications, while others talked about the project's prospects. "We will expand the lineup and strive to certify the product to meet all requirements, including those of the foreign market," said the project's author. The presentation model will remain with the author. Many are eager to buy a similar one. However, for the "Tulpar Karager" made in Kyrgyzstan, one would have to pay around 50 thousand dollars. Those who are not planning expensive purchases yet can admire the modern car in one of the entertainment centers of the capital for a week. In the future, the auto craftsmen from Bishkek plan to expand the lineup of similar cars. Next in line is the "Tulpar-zhorgo," which translates from Kyrgyz as "winged ambling horse."
