Just over a week ago this unlucky Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 was in the process of having its MOT test, an annual test in the UK for cars older than three-years-old, when the mechanic driving it clipped a kerb and was spun into a parked Ford Focus.
The crash happened in Kendal, the north of England, when the Mechanic had taken the LP640 for a short road to test the efficiency of the brakes. This sort of test is usually done on a rolling road, but given the ground clearance and the fact the LP640 is a 4WD, the test was preformed on the open roads with the use of a brakeforce meter.
The mechanic says that the crash was a result of wet roads, leaves and a 'featherweight' accelerator, causing him to clip a kerb that spun him into a parked Ford Focus. The later stages of this can be seen in the video below.
The owner of the LP640 estimates that there is about 20,000 worth of damage to the car, and even when its fixed it’s future resale value will be heavily hit due to the crash.
