Is this cringe-inducing or hilarious?
Instagram user heinrichs_carlife posted a video on October 8 which is either making people cringe or laugh with delight. Weâll call this a litmus test for how much you love or hate supercars and hypercars. In the video, a Bugatti Veyron scratches the wheel on a Lamborghini Aventador and the result isnât exactly pretty.
Speaking of murder, see how Chip Foose would make an off-road Dodge Caravan minivan here.
Youâll see in the video which weâre embedding in this article, it starts outside of what might a restaurant, hotel, or something of the like. Someone reversing the Bugatti Veyron into the spot next to the Lamborghini Aventador doesnât realize theyâre not at the right angle, bringing the driverâs-side rear fender into contact with the Italian-Germanâs passenger-side rear wheel.
As the wheel murder is being committed, a guy outside the French hypercar tries to get the attention of the driver, knocking on the side of the car, and drying to open the door. Maybe he was going to throw the guy out of the Veyron GTA-style? That wouldâve made for an even better video.
Rearward visibility in the Bugatti canât be great, thanks to the rear fairings and tiny back window. Since we havenât driven one we donât know if there are sensors so you know if youâre reversing a little too close to obstacles. If so, this guy didnât use them. He might be a valet or it might be the owner, but itâs more likely the former. He probably didnât get a tip.
The Aventadorâs wheel is scuffed up pretty badly in a few different spots. If it can be repaired itâs going to be more expensive than a lot of peopleâs cars. As for the Veyron, it has some nice paint damage on the rear fender, so that will probably cost $243,000 to repair, or thereabouts. In other words, this low-speed collision was more costly to the insurance companies than a normal 10-car pileup. Think about that for a second.
Now check out the video for yourself and see if you cringe or laugh.
