Here's The Moment A Lamborghini Aventador Goes Up In Flames During A Valet's Joyride

This valet has a lot of explaining to do after he decided to rev an Aventador while in traffic, sending flames into the air and causing the car to set alight

Here’s a pro tip: if you are driving a Lamborghini Aventador, be very careful about revving the nuts off it in order to spit fire. Sure, those long blue flames look cool, but this particular model of Lamborghini has a tendency to self immolate on occasion. And should you find yourself in the vicinity of a Lamborghini Aventador fire, we’d recommend putting it out with a fire extinguisher as above, instead of kicking the flames or driving away while it’s still burning…

Let’s not forget the P1 that was recently wrecked as well by the owner’s friend (wasn’t today but still counts)

No matter how sh*tty your day is this guy is having a worse one

I agree I though I was having a bad day today lol after I seen this video this is guy is having 50000 times a worst day

Guess u could say his job went up in…flames….

You could, but probably shouldn’t.

That valet is totally getting… fired…

I hate myself

And probably sued.

Shame it had to die, that was a pretty fire looking car…

That car is hot af.

Dangit

YEAAAAAHH!!!

Why were you in traffic at all?

The day you how to push a Lambrghini likethe old time

Lesson learned here, valets…. DON’T FCKING TAKE OUT CARS FOR A JOY RIDE YOU MOTHERFCKING PR*CKS!!!! YOUR JOB IS TO PARK IT AND NOTHING ELSE!!!!
Also a lesson for supercar owners which they should already know because they have powerful engines and there’s plenty of videos on youtube like this: Keep a fire extinguisher in your car. Not just any fire extinguisher like in the video, an automotive fire extinguisher. That way you won’t damage your engine if you have to use it on your engine.

Sorry for the language. But this just infuriates me.

As far as we know, all he did was rev it at a stop sign. It might not have been appropriate but it’s really not that terrible of a crime. It’s definitely not his fault the car caught fire. Revving a car shouldn’t cause it to burst into flames. If someone put you in the drivers seat of a Lamborghini, wouldn’t you be tempted to give it a bit of a rev? I mean it’s not like he was doing hard launches or drifts or anything.

I couldn’t help but notice you mentioned using an automotive fire extinguisher instead of using a regular household or office one to prevent engine damage.. What’s the difference? And how does it damage your engine?
