Somewhere in northern Iran, an unusual limousine hybrid can be seen taking on city traffic. The limo is constructed from a few retro-cars and has caused a wave of reactions on Iranian social networks.

The peculiar self-made vehicle can be seen in real life on the roads of Urmia, a city in the province of West Azerbaijan Province. It has become a local online sensation.

Like Frankenstein's monster, the limousine was patched together from several Citroën Dyane vehicles from bygone days. This French supermini model was manufactured in Iran from 1968 to 1980 under a slightly different name — Jyane, which means "fierce" or "ferocious" in Persian. The most creative Internet users have already dubbed the car a "limojyane."

As seen from the photos, the vehicle consists of at least three original cars welded together. Pay no heed to its unsightly appearance: the owner hasn't yet had time to paint the car's body.

​Some users suggest that it is at least 40 years old due to the age of the cars, while others ironically remark that Citroën representatives are already hunting for a "miracle hybrid" in order to redeem it.
