Laraki Automobiles SA is a Moroccan manufacturer of high-performance sports cars based in Casablanca, Morocco.

Then following the steps of his father, he studied automobile design in Switzerland and soon after launched his first model, the Laraki Fulgura, in 2002.

[3][4] In 2012, the conceptual artist Eric Van Hove arrived in Marrakech to resume work on an ambitious sculptural endeavor he had prepared for years: V12 Laraki.

In the space of nine months, he gathered around him 42 master craftsmen from the region and began rebuilding a Mercedes 6.2 L V12 engine using rural materials and centuries old craft techniques from the North African country.

Conceptually, this sculpture is based on the story of the Laraki Fulgura, which was entirely manufactured in Morocco to the exception of its engine.

The artist decided to try and reproduce that cutting-edge component locally using craft[5] That sculpture was displayed at the 5th Marrakech Biennale and soon acquired by the Hood Museum of Art.

Based on the frame and mechanicals of a Lamborghini Diablo,[7] the Fulgura is equipped with a quad-turbo Mercedes-Benz 6.0 L V12, initially proposed to produce 920 hp (686 kW), attached to a 6-speed manual transmission.

By 2006, these figures were amended and the 6.0 L V12 was proposed to produce 730 hp (544 kW), and mated to a 7-speed gearbox and a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) and 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.

The design of the Borac is that of a grand tourer, with a front engine layout and even the possibility of two small rear seats.
