Supercar Megabuild is a UK 'Factual Entertainment' program on National Geographic Channel. In this show, Design guru, Afzal Kahn, hires two experimental engineers, Ralph Hosier & Ranen Rudra to build extraordinary vehicles.

Plot

Afzal Kahn hires 2 professional engineers to create challenging one off and prototype cars in very short time scales. Ralph and Ranen are both free thinking engineers which results in unique solutions, which Mr. Kahn doesn't always like to start with. Ralph and Ranen sometimes have to travel to other countries to learn something new.

From the National Geographic web page:

"In every episode our British motor-mad mechanics will embark on an ambitious mission to transform an ordinary car into extraordinary supercar, fit for the racetrack.

But with limited time and other inevitable roadblocks piling on the pressure, will they succeed in creating the ultimate supercars?"[1]
