Millionaire destroys his own Lamborghini
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. Lamborghini has not commented on the incident.

That was a rather impotent-looking effort . . .

People buy Lamborghinis for their customer service? I haven't heard that before.

He should have done like that guy with the Lincoln in the 70's. He took his nearly new lemon back to the factory and then torched it in the parking lot while cameras rolled. It's probably on youtube somewhere if anybody is that interested.

Hopefully someone in will buy the carcass and make one hack of a rat rod out of it.
