More Lambos Barbequed

A few weeks ago a Lamborghini Aventador went up in flames in Dubai. It probably had something to do with the V12 overheating. The guy filming was directly behind the Aventador in traffic, whose owner/driver/dickhead was too busy being the spoiled too rich dolt he is to even notice he was burning up ... others had to alert him.
Today we have a horror flick from Japan that also features an Aventador, although it’s shorter and the owner is nowhere in sight. It’s also sadder as the doomed supercar seems to be screaming for help via its illuminated headlights.

Lambo bites dust in British Columbia

A burning orange Lamborghini stopped traffic on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, just north of Squamish, B.C. on Saturday night. An Instagram user took photos and video of the car burning next to the “Big Orange Bridge” on Highway 99. In a video, the sports car is seen engulfed in flames and thick black smoke.

Multiple Instagram posts are attributing the car to Scenic Rush, a company that lets (dumb) customers pay to drive an exotic car along the Sea-to-Sky Highway.

Audi R8 Selection 24H

A 5.2-liter V10 mid-engine develops 449 kW (610 hp) and accelerates the top model of the Audi R8 car line from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.2 seconds to a top speed of 330 km/h (205.1 mph).

That makes the Audi R8 Coupé V10 plus the fastest and most powerful production Audi of all time. A newly developed quattro drive distributes its power fully variably between both sets of wheels.
The suspension, the aerodynamics configured to handle high downforces and the operating concept featuring the Audi virtual cockpit are all motorsport-inspired. That is because Audi developed the second generation of the R8 in parallel with the GT3 racing model R8 LMS.
The technical package in the “selection 24h” special edition comprises dynamic steering, the adaptive damper control system Audi magnetic ride and Audi laser lighting.

The tricolor paint finish consisting of Suzuka gray as the basic color, with mythos black and Misano red highlights.
Orders for the special model can be placed from May 10, 2016. It costs EUR 229,000 in Germany.
