A six-year-old Kenyan boy, Noel Bariki Oyoo is scheduled to visit Japan, home to the Toyota car manufacturer after the company decided to adopt his car design.
Noel's drawing emerged top in a competition dubbed "Dream Car Art Contest" organised by the car manufacturer.
The boy's design showed the legendary Trojan horse on wheels with various musical instruments on it.
Noel's guardian explained that the boy was inspired by a cartoon he watched and the musical instruments were a symbol of preservation of culture.
Here is the award-winning drawing.

Speaking on behalf of the international corporation, Ms Ann Nyoike welcomed the boy to the company, explaining that the aim of the competition is to nurture such talent.
"As Toyota Kenya, this is one of the ways in which we nurture talent, bringing in the young people into the Toyota family and providing a platform to contribute to the future cars they want to see," Ms Nyoike explained during an interview with KTN News.
The boy who hails from Nanyuki is a global finalist and will advance to Japan to represent Kenya, competing against entrants from over 80 other countries in August 2017.
He also stands a chance to bring home a second award dubbed the "Make Me Smile Award" which is dependent on votes.
Kenyan's can vote for Noel to win the global award through a link posted on Toyota Kenya social media pages.
