Chinese Angry Owner Destroys His Lamborghini Gallardo With a Sledgehammer
 

A Lamborghini Gallardo was destroyed by a group of men in the Chinese city of Qindao. The owner of the Italian sports car decided to smash it to show his disappointment with Lamborghini.

The Lamborghini Gallardo was bought six months ago, but the engine failed to start on November 29, 2010. The owner contacted the Lamborghini dealer in Qingdao and they transported the Gallardo to their maintenance center. The engine problem wasn't solved, but instead the bumper and chassis were damaged by the transport. The owner complained by the dealer but they refused to take responsibility in this matter, so the angry owner contacted Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the brand's China headquarters, its after-sales service manager for Asia-Pacific region, and the brand's owner Volkswagen Group, but the problem was not solved.

Angry about the service, the owner felt his consumer rights were ignored. So he decided that the best way to gain attention was to destroy his car on the 15th of March, which is also World Consumer Rights Day. Apparently, he hired people to publicly destroy his car with hammers and make his statement. This protest was made to provoke public support and goad the manufacturer to respect his consumer rights.

welcome to 2 weeks ago or longer. :D

Somebody has already posted this on here, but it's crazy. After a couple swings it doesn't even look like the hammers are doing any damage. I wasn't sure what to take from this video lol.

:rolleyes:

oh you like that.

Sorry I came from the future.

the body is carbon fiber. sledgehammers did not harm to it.

hummm... i dont buy it. :icon17:

pics or it didnt happen...

I beat you to it my man.....

but you can't time travel like he can, so hes a little cooler despite the fact that you posted this first.

what if i really do own a delorean.....TT of course so it can actually reach 88mph

i get embarrassed just seeing them on the street...

If I were a grammar nazi, I would point out that this thread title should be "Angry Chinese Owner..." rather than "Chinese Angry Owner..."

But I'm not, so I won't.

He really showed Lamborghini...

That's been bugging me, that's why I refuse to post something.

:iagree:

this whole story would be much better if lambo would do a press release showing that this jack off just ordered a LP-700 Aventador

lol i know...this was pretty

Dont kill the messenger. I didn't write it, I just copied and pasted.

All your base are belong to us! :icon17:

Ugh.

i wonder which car he will buy to replace the lamborghini that has been destroyed :)

I think he is using "Chinese" as an adjective. From now on if you make a totally useless statement by destroying something with a sledghammer you are "Chinese angry."

Example:

The neighbors dog wouldnt quit barking last night so I took a sledgehammer to my 60" flat panel TV. I was Chinese angry!

:icon18:

one guy wrote on the lamborghini forum that two of the happiest days in his life were the day he bought it and the day he sold it -- i guess for this guy, the day he had it destroyed :)

lol wrd i was gonna say something about that

Of all of the things I could comment about in this thread...

I'm pissed off at all of those Chinese bastard that swing hammers like a girl. You'd think after 5mins of beating the **** out of something it would do a little more damage than that.

I mean, I've beat the hell out of a car with a sledge hammer and it was devastating. Those things look like toothpicks!

you the thing is why not buy that car for dirt cheap......
there a lot of body damage but they couldnt have hurt the engine drivetrain and chassis very much if at all.

It would cost a lot to fix but really they just beat up the body panels and didnt hurt the real car. Send it over to Pininnfarina and have them build you a one off type deal like they did with the 430 scud turning that into the new Stratos.

Maybe they were only "korean angry" and hadnt worked up to "chinese angry"

so after that video is anyone else less worried about having to go to war with China one day.......

The myth that Lambo's are dependable has been shattered. I sure the owner thought they were as reliable as Jap cars. Who would have suspected?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

they should just make a chinese copy of the lambo and sell it for $20K.

^Hyundai may have a Korean version of a Lambo soon enough.

LOL

Should have just set it on fire.

if it were an early production Ferrari 458 you could have just driven it really hard and it would have caught on fire itself

something with euro cars they like to start on fire on their own.

i think this is a plus...keeps you on your toes.

You do realize most men in China weigh approximately 120lbs, right?


Not a whole lot of power they can put into their "swings" :bowrofl:

your wrong on this. certain regions in china especially towards the north, chinese men are pretty tall. taller and bigger than average americans.

chinese men towards the south or near HongKong, men are usually shorter and smaller. Most chinese in the US are from the south.

i donot know why this is. When I was visiting Northern china, chinese men there tower over american tourists.
