Millionaire destroys his own Lamborghini
Discussion
A Lamborghini owner was so incensed by the Italian supercar company that he hired a group of men, gave them each a sledgehammer and ordered them to smash up his car in public.
The stunt equates to almost half a million pounds worth of damage. In China, a Lamborghini Gallardo reportedly costs £465,000. In the UK the same car costs around £160,000.
The owner was embroiled in a war of words with Lamborghini after his Gallardo suffered a number of problems.
The final straw came after the owner, a businessman from China's eastern Shandong province, reported an engine malfunction with the car. A Lamborghini dealership then collected it for repair.
When the car returned, the engine still wasn't fixed, and the owner claimed that clumsy staff at Lamborghini's Qingdao dealership had damaged the chassis and the bodywork.
Tired of complaining, and having written personally to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the owner hired nine workers and set up a camera to film the stunt.
As the video shows, a huge crowd gathered to see this remarkable display of millionaire vitriol, although the car holds up well to the hammer attack.
