Lamborghini Countaches are currently valued incredibly high, making the following incident even more heartbreaking. According to a report from Bay Area news outlet KRON 4, a driver exited his Countach at a gas station on Thursday when the vehicle unexpectedly burst into flames. The footage captures more than just the fiery spectacle; it hints at the loss of the driver’s aspirations and dreams as they went up in smoke.
It remains uncertain whether this was a genuine Lamborghini or a kit car replica, although the outlook isn’t optimistic.
A viewer from KRON 4 reportedly dialed 911 upon witnessing the fire. Firefighters attempted to control the flames on the scene, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The cause of the fire has not been officially determined, but speculation suggests it may have ignited while the engine was still running at the pump. That spark could have been enough to trigger the blaze, though concrete information is still lacking.
Fortunately, no accidents resulted from this incident, apart from a blow to the driver’s self-esteem. Our sympathies go out to him, as it’s hard to imagine how one could deal with such a devastating event.
Those fiery Italians sure have a way of causing trouble..
