Hotel will most probably have liability insurance to cover such casses. Or, it could be the company that runs Valet service for Hotel. http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/200...rum/rights.htm Quote:

| ![]() Came across the video of the Lamborghini crash on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1486416478263112 He almost ran over two people. If you notice closely the gentleman on the left of the screen had a really close shave. PS: Was it the Camry in front of the Lambo? or the Altis? |

| ![]() Looks like the valet has brought the car from the parking to the lobby and is not on his way to park the car. The owners of the car were probably leaving the hotel and not arriving at the hotel. |

| ![]() I agree with Anand123, couldn't see valet enter the car, door opens but no one exits or enter the car. If the car was one with paddle transmission, it could be by mistake car was put in gear while trying to exit car. Another thing could be, was the car coming back from parking to be handed back to the owner, other than that its a moment of brain fart by owner blaming someone else for his misdeed. |

Are these vehicles so different/hard to drive? I realise that, from acceleration figures alone, things are going to happen pretty fast if one puts the foot down, but that guy makes it looks like there are just two settings: stop and unstoppable. And I'm amazed at just how unstoppable! The car in front is flipped out the way like nothing; seriously pushed around, and from a standing start just a few metres back. It's like watching a bulldozer. Very instructive piece of film. I don't suppose the hotel is very happy about it being made public. So, Can I have a go with somebody's Lamborghini, to see what it is like? No? Probably very wise ![]() | |

| ![]() Did anyone notice the guy who ran for his life and saved his behind? The Valet must have left it in some drive mode not knowing how to use an auto properly and stamped on the accelerator while trying to get out. |

The owner of this Lamborghini was once in trouble for using fake licence plate on his Audi. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/c...w/27741936.cms http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/ene...cle3717955.ece Company: http://www.facindia.com/team.php Last edited by aerohit : 10th July 2014 at 23:50. | |

| ![]() That very well could be the valet returning the car to the owner who were leaving the hotel. Adding my two cents. The plausible theory seems to be, as someone mentioned here, the valet left it in gear while trying to exit the car assuming its gone into neutral like some newer supercars, but in the Gallardo you'd still need to pull both the paddles together to switch it into N, which he may not have done and accidentally stomped on the gas while trying to get out. Even if the park brake was engaged, the Bull's V10 grunt is more than enough to overpower it in a flick of the throttle. Also, the Gallardo has an incredibly tricky pedal arrangement, because of the car's wedge-like shape, the gas pedal is more-or-less bang in front of you (where the brake is supposed to go) and the brake pedal is slightly towards the left. It takes a lot of time to get accustomed to those and if you're wearing a slightly heavy soled footwear, it only adds to the horror! Here is a YouTube video link - |

Can you please co-relate your info with the post you have quoted? The information source you have given in your post do not have any relation with the crash of Lamborghini in Delhi as one shows info of fake number plate and the other shows a scam related info. The 3rd link shows info about a company. How are you so sure about the owner of the Audi to be the one owning this Lamborghini? Please clear my doubts. I might be missing out something. Thanks. | |

| ![]() God saved that security guy!! The car just flicked past him or he would have been sandwiched between the Bull and the Corolla/Camry(can't make out which it is). Probably the worst day in the valet's life.. Any news, what he had to face after the incidence? He was fired definitely, but what next? The owner can't even ask him to pay up, cuz the poor guy couldn't do it even in his entire lifetime. Actually it is quite disheartening when one thinks that what a big blunder the poor guy has got himself into, just because of a bit of negligence. -Bhargav |
