The showrooms should get a speed limiter and electronics toggled off for demo cars. It's very simple to do them these days with the electronics in the car. That will save the hassle and the risk too to a certain extent. Most of the rich entitled brats think they are a prodigy on the road and turn off traction control when they sit inside a high-end car thinking they can control wheel spin with their non-existent skills just because they watched a highly experienced car reviewer do it. Most demo cars in our country are abused badly because we have a typical mindset that since it's not our car, we should test its limit as much as possible. Setting a rev and speed limiter will keep these habits in check.

It appears to have hit a biker/2 wheeler before veering off to side of road.
Watch the guy in white shirt for 2 reasons, how lucky he is to escape this and how unmoved he is with a crash happening right behind him! Maybe he was shocked or didn't get time to react.

Any reason why the plates are missing in the last pic?

That is the pic when parked outside the Pondy Bazar police station in T.Nagar, Chennai. I live close by and happened to spot it during my morning commute. Maybe the cops removed the plates after impounding the vehicle.

So very true!
Had an experience myself, when I was helping out a colleague with car purchase. We had gone to check out Baleno for him. He was impressed with the space on offer, and requested for a test drive. The moment he started the car, it was pedal to the metal, that too on roads where he wasn't a regular (I was). Needless to say, he very quickly managed to scare the living daylight out of both myself and the sales advisor. So much so, that half way into the drive, I had to ask him to pullover and let me also drive.
Moving on to the i20 next, I asked him to go alone on the test drive, while I stayed back in the showroom. Guess, by then, it was obvious to him lol:

Agree! For sane, sedate driving almost all cars are suitable for our roads. More important things to look at are I think seating comfort, ergonomics, view from the drivers seat for your height etc.
People in our own community too tell Ohh the Altis is very underpowered, some other car has great low end torque, the power delivery is linear, gears 2 and 3 are not so tall etc etc. But for sane, sedate driving and for top speed of 100kmph on highways all cars sold in India can do that. Each car has something to offer and there are people who bought it for just that.

people who grow up driving <100 bhp FWD cars, simply are not used to combat oversteer when going ape on the pedal of a 500+ bhp RWD car. Its not a flaw, its something to do with inexperience. Why not undergo a crash course (not literally) training on how to drive powerful RWD cars from some professional institute in india/abroad before driving these on indian roads ?
When they are using up so much money to import these sports/super/muscle cars, the cost of such training will be peanuts. The only thing that stops them from the same, would be their bloated ego.
Just found a couple of pics of the ex-AB/AP Murcielago in this sad state! The car got crashed a few years ago and was left to rot since then.

As per my intel, this car was with Exclusive motors (Erstwhile Lamborghini Dealers) for resale. An over excited potential buyer crashed it while TDing it.
It is absolutely heart breaking to see an example of an Legendary car in such condition.
Came across this on Facebook. Apparently happened in Delhi, but I've got no further details other than that.
