Simurgh,[2] also reported by other names such as Mada 9, Black Swan, and Helmet,[3] is an economic sport car prototype engineered by Mohammad Raza Ahmadi and produced by the Entop in Afghanistan.[4][5] It was shown to the public at Kabul University in late 2022, with assistance from the Afghan IT Ministry and the Innovation Center of Afghanistan.[6] A year later it was displayed at the Geneva International Motor Show.[2] The Simurgh was reported to be running on a Modified 1ZZ-FE engine. The exotic car was developed in more than five years by Ahmadi and his team in the Naw avari (Innovation) Center of the Afghanistan Technical Vocational Institute (ATVI),[7][8]

The prototype sports an F1-style pushrod suspension and a tube frame chassis composed of lightweight composite materials.[9][10][11][12] The team behind the project has not yet disclosed its production schedule.[9][13]
