A black Lamborghini Aventador seems to have spontaneously combusted in the middle of a test drive in Southern California.
The driver of the vehicle was unharmed, and is now being referred to as the mysterious “Aventador guy†after he calmly posed for a picture near the $376,000 pile of melted metal.
While original speculation dubbed him some sort of “Internet millionaire,†new reports indicate he was simply test driving the car from the dealership when the explosion occurred (though he’s clearly no stranger to fancy cars).
Here’s some video of the wreckage, before the flames were put out (Warning: Strong Language):
