Lamborghini Aventador Burns to a Carbon Fiber Crisp on California Highway – Video
Details first emerged yesterday that a Lamborghini Aventador burnt to a crisp on a Southern California freeway, and now there’s video.
According to reports the car was on a test drive when from a local dealership when the fire began somewhere near the driver’s side rear tire – the Aventador being a mid-engine machine, much of the vehicle’s heat is generated in that area.
The $376,000 V12-powered supercar pulled over on California 73 South, and despite efforts by local fire crews, it burn completely, all the way down to the carbon fiber chassis.
