Afghanistan's Taliban rulers have hailed the unveiling of the country's first homegrown 'supercar'.
A sleek, black sports car took to the snowy streets of the capital after a five-year building project by engineers at a Kabul technical and vocational training institute.

The prototype vehicle, called the Mada-9, is reported to be the creation of a company called ENTOP.
