Lamborghini Gallardo "executed" in China

This Gallardo fell to men with hammers in Qingdao, a city located in China's eastern Shandong province, as a protest by its owner against poor service from Lamborghini, in honor of World Consumer Rights Day.
Apparently, the car's owner hired people to publicly destroy the vehicle when it failed to function after a service by an official Lamborghini service center.

According to reports, the happless Gallardo was purchased about six months ago by a resident of Qingdao, China. In his short period of ownership, the man has apparently had a few issues with the car.

In one instance, the Lamborghini wouldn't start, so the owner had it towed to the local dealer. Upon arrival at the service bay, the owner found that the car had been damaged in transit. No one would claim responsibility and the original non-starting issue still wasn't fixed.

The Gallardo owner attempted to escalate the issue within the Lamborghini family, ultimately trying to reach out to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann. No response or solution has been offered so the owner has become decidedly frustrated. So frustrated, in fact, that he decided destroying his Lamborghini in public would be the best way to garner attention.

According to the report, the owner is trying to make a point that China is home to a growing number of individuals capable of purchasing luxury items. Companies realizes this and are making increased efforts to offer their products to the Chinese people. However, the Lamborghini owner believes that the Chinese people do not get the same level of service found in other markets. By smashing his Gallardo, he's certainly captured our attention.

By the way, a new Lamborghini Gallardo, which typically sells for $230,000 on up, retails for between $529,000 and $757,000 USD in China. Ouch. Thanks to everyone for the tips!

So i guess that kinda means for example a used clean title Integra Type R in China goes for about 30K USD.

luxury vehicles in china cost an arm and a leg. dunno if itr's have markups at all...

Bawse!

All cars in Asia, especially new ones, have high mark-up because they're considered luxury products (100% luxury tax or more at some areas) . Exotics are probably marked-up higher. The most expensive place to own a car is probably Singapore, not China.

this is how powerful china is (economy wise)

if i remember communist economics correctly any car not made in china is 100% import tax.

In Vietnam it's 200%

dude, have you been to China? Due to the over population they have jobs for literally everyone. even the most trivial/mundane jobs have like 2 people hired to work them. I once saw 11 people crammed into a Yogurt stand- one for the blender operation, one for the fruit scooping, one to take the cash , and one to put it in the register, etc. These car smashers are probably a company set up specifically to smash over-priced exotic cars of Italian origin.

Singapore is definitely up there.
Had 2 friends there with the following cars, and prices:

Volvo XC70, $130,000 CAD
Lexus GS300, $220,000 CAD

GS300 for $220,000 CAD?!?!?!?!?!?!

LOL @ what minimal damage those guys managed to do to it in 3 minutes....

"wrecking crew" of 100lb weaklings = fail....looks like they can barely lift the hammers
