This is just some stupid marketing scheme. The "owner" stuck a banner on the side of the car, advertising for some company that sells lighting. He claimed he spent 4million RMB (around $600,000) on this car around half a year ago, which does not make any sense at all, since this is an old Gallardo which Lambo stopped producing in 2007. Also, the stereo and some interior pieces were ripped out, if he could afford to smash up a 6 months old Lambo just to prove a point, why bother taking out anything?

So i guess that kinda means for example a used clean title Integra Type R in China goes for about 30K USD. | In china, the government won't care if the title is clear.

last time I check the price of the LP670 before tax in HK is actually cheaper than Canada's MSRP

After a diagnostic, we have come to the conclusion that you simply forgot to step on the clutch while turning it on.
Thank you for your cooperation.

All this guy did is save Lamborghini some money (besides making himself look stupid).
With any new car, a portion of the profit of the vehicle is paid back out to the customer through warranty costs. With everyday consumer cars, this "per vehicle" cost is quite low - usually under $1,000. But with high-end and exotic cars, the manufacturer can be expected to pay out significant $$$ to repair items under warranty.
By destroying this car, he just saved Lamborghini thousands of dollars.

^ I doubt it. More like they think the guys an idiot for wasting so much money. If he's so ballin and powerful he could gave had something done about it (like get a refund or buyback from Lamborghini). The fact he couldn't shows he's some lightweight with no influence or power, despite his money.
This won't affect Lamborghini at all. Do you see Lamborghini offering 0.9% financing at year end to move old inventory they couldn't sell? They sell every car they can make. If someone in China doesn't buy them, somebody else will. Posted via RS Mobile | |

In other news, Lamborghini continues to make buckets of money and doesn't give a shit what some guy in China does.
