It saddens us deeply to see stunning Italian supercars which have been in severe accidents, because these cars are unique and they need to be seen and heard, not necessarily driven to destruction in the city, where let’s face it, you can`t really go fast, at all.
This completely totaled Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valention Balboni, the one with rear-wheel drive only, was recently crashed in New Delhi, in Inida.
