When getting behind the wheel of a new car, it’s wise to drive cautiously at first to familiarize yourself with it before gradually increasing your speed. However, with a car like the Lamborghini Aventador, it can be incredibly tempting to push the pedal to the metal, leading to the possibility of exceeding safe speeds, perhaps even unintentionally.
Specifically, this seems to be the case with a Lamborghini Aventador SV that is currently for sale on Copart with a salvage title and an astonishingly low mileage of just 73 miles. Yes, you read that correctly—73 miles, and it’s already been totaled.
Produced only four months ago, this Lamborghini shows primary damage to the front end, a fact that’s clearly visible in the provided images. These images also reveal a “Trunk-Entrapment System Fault” and deployed airbags, which can be costly to repair.
Fortunately, the rear of the vehicle, including its powerful 6.5-liter V12 engine, seems to be in good condition. This could make it a valuable resource for a go-kart project, particularly one similar to the Heffner Performance LamboKart that utilizes a Gallardo chassis. However, with a starting bid of $185,000, this might just be the priciest go-kart option available. Given that a new Aventador starts at around $310,000, someone willing to invest in restoring this vehicle could potentially see significant profits.
This unfortunate incident with the Lamborghini evokes memories of a scene from the beginning of Lethal Weapon 2. After a chase in which Martin Riggs damages Roger Murtaugh’s vehicle, Murtaugh stares at Riggs and remarks, “This was a new car.” To which Riggs cheerfully replies, “It still is a new car.”
Technically, that still holds true for this damaged Lamborghini. However, one can only imagine how much the driver’s insurance premiums have escalated since the accident.
