Somebody Sent A Lamborghini A Little Too Hard

A Bad Way To Start Your Lambo Experience

An unfortunate soul down in Allende, a municipality in Mexico, has learned the hard way that an all-wheel-drive system is not enough to save the poorly timed deployment of over a thousand horsepower. Local publication Quadratin Neuvo León reported that the driver of a Lamborghini Revuelto lost control of his supercar on the National Highway, at the intersection with Juan Zapata Street in the Buena Vista neighborhood. As bad as it is to crash a $600,000 supercar in any circumstances, the driver reportedly only started driving the Revuelto yesterday, so he probably took ownership recently. Ouch.

A Terrible Attempt At A U-Turn

The driver of the car, 42-year-old Julio Campos of Monterrey, allegedly lost control when trying to perform a U-turn at the intersection. Since the car ended up mounted on the median just after the intersection, it appears that Campos may have accelerated too hard, experienced understeer, and plowed into the median. Then again, Lamborghini power delivery is typically always quite rear-biased, so he might also have intentionally kicked the rear out in a slide that he then couldn't control. Happily, no injuries were reported, though we're sure Campos' ego must be bruised.

This Is Going To Be Expensive

The extent of the damage is unknown, but a scratched front bumper is probably the least of it. When a car gets stuck on a median like this, it's likely that mechanical components have been dislodged, if not scraped, and all of the underbody covers (and many of their clips) will surely need replacing. Depending on how severe the impact was, the underbody diffuser and even more important components like the axles, gearbox casing, and even the engine could be unsalvageable. At the very least, the wheels will have been buckled and scraped.

A video shared by local publication Expreso indicates that the accident happened during peak midday traffic, so whatever the fundamental cause of the crash, it's probably reckless driving that caused this costly accident, not a dusty surface and too much horsepower. When a car is capable of doing 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds, calamity can strike in half the time.
