If you’re a supercar-lover, avert your eyes.

A disgruntled Chinese millionaire who clearly had enough of his expensive, but problematic, Lamborghini Gallardo took out his frustration by hiring a crew to destroy the posh car in front of stunned spectators.

The cruel public execution took place Tuesday to mark World Consumer Rights Day.

The driver, who bought the second-hand car in Qingdao for 1,900,000 yuan ($284,124 Cdn), became enraged after the engine failed to start last November.

Further troubles ensued after the Qingdao Lamborghini dealership damaged the bumper and chassis while towing the lame car to the garage.

To top it all off, the garage failed to fix the malfunctioning engine and the dealership refused to take responsibility for any damages.

The driver reportedly tried reaching out to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann. But after receiving no response to his appeals for help he decided to take matters into his own hands by hiring a demolition crew to dish out some public revenge on the Italian beauty.

The man said he hoped the car’s ugly death by sledgehammer would send a message to carmakers that better after-sales service in China, especially for luxury cars, is desperately needed.

It's an Italian car. Did he really think it would be even remotely reliable? Facepalm...

Not going to happen. He was frustrated with the car and publicly smashed the crap out of it. Why should they spend $300K of their company's money and replace it when he could have just stayed the course and done things diplomatically. It's not like he's some big shot long time buyer, he bought it used. If he had bought it new, then it might be a little more understandable.

Those dudes swing sledgehammers like women.

How often do you get to smash a lambo? make it count!

I think the "sledgehammers" are to blame too. They look awfully small/light for sledgehammers. Thus the swinging motion is different. They look like regular hammers with really long handles.

That only means you can swing them faster. Less weight = more speed :)

Better yet just buy Lambo clothing and a keychain. And when ppl ask where it is, tell them it's in the garage, but the door is permanently stuck shut.

I race LP560s and hopefully an LP670-SV this summer. I proudly wear an Automobili Lamborghini jacket that a sponsor got our entire team.

That's different because you actually race and you're representing your sponsors who are supporting your team. I'm talking more like Joey Tribiani, where his porsche was a pile of boxes underneath a car cover. And he was sporting the Porsche jacket and hat too!

See what you did? I made a "Friends" reference :bang
