India is possibly the worst place to drive any car, let alone a supercar. If you're living in any of the metros, you'd know that there is absolutely no space to test your mean machine. Zilch. Nada. The only time one can drive it out for a spin peacefully is perhaps in the wee hours of the night.
Space isn't the only issue here though. If you take your supercar out in broad daylight, there'll be dogs and cattle to welcome you. If not that, there are roadside romeos who can't appreciate anything without touching, and might scratch it. If you manage to live with all this, there'll be the super rich brats who love to drink, drive and completely trash these beautiful monsters.
These pictures and videos will tell you exactly what I'm talking about. It's nothing less than heartbreaking to see these supercars in such a condition. India is definitely not a place for them.
1. This 2.5 crore Porsche 911 Turbo wreck
A businessman was driving this Porsche 911 Turbo at about 250 kmph on the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (other estimates say he could be driving between 150-200 kmph) in the pouring rain on Sunday morning when he lost control. Turns out, water had collected on a turning which led to the car crash. The impact was so severe, that the fuel tank (it's located in the front for the Porsche 911) burst into flames. The driver managed to escape by and large unhurt.
2. This 6-Crore Smashed Up Lamborghini Murcielago
A brat at the wheel lost control of his Lambo in Delhi late last month on a simple turn and rammed first into a divider and then into a concrete pole leaving the car on its belly without any wheels. But the worse thing happened after, the folks at the wheel decided to salvage the only thing they could from the car - the number plates and disappeared leaving behind a 6 Cr mess that took 3 cranes several hours to clear out.
3. This wasted Bentley.
4. Another Bentley which has been shat on to death.
5. This Bugatti Veyron finding it difficult to cross a 'speed-breaker'.
A supercar that has a top speed for 408.6 kmph was brought down to its knees by a badly constructed speed breaker. Such is the case in India. Check out the video.
6. These 3 supercars stuck in traffic behind a BMTC bus in Bangalore.
Be it a Lamborghini, a BMW, a Ferrari or a Fiat. In traffic, all are equal. Read more about this one here.
7. This Lamborghini Gallardo getting pissed on.
So what if it can do 0-100 in 3.9 seconds. That doesn't impress this dog. He didn't like the colour so he took a leak. FTW!
8. This Lamborghini Gallardo getting completely wasted.
The story behind this picture is quite horrifying. Returning home from partying in Delhi, the youth driving the car lost his life as he smashed it into dividers and finally into a lamp post. It was later found that the man would most definitely have survived had he worn the seat belt. Sad.
9. This Porsche.
How the f...
10. This Audi R8 up in flames.
The car caught fire in the engine bay, the driver got out unharmed though. The car, however, is done for. Watch the video.
11. And the most epic one of them all.
If you don't experience any of the issues mentioned above, you'll definitely bump into some idiot who'll do this.
This man came to The Le Meridien, Delhi for a meeting when...the hotel valet crashed his Rs. 4 cr Lamborghini Gallardo
Only a few things hurt more than this.
DING!
