From black gold in the coal industry to the real stuff, poured all over a Lamborghini Gallardo. This Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-2 has a pure gold paint job and is to be seen cruising the streets in the area of Shijiazhiang in the Hebei Province, known for its coal industry (and therefore rich Chinese businessmen). Unfortunately there are no estimates as to how much this kind of machine might cost, what with an original purchase and then the gold paint.

We don’t know who did the paint job either, but would be interesting to see whether China’s panel beaters are starting to specialise in the stuff (BTW - how do you get a scractch out of this?). We don’t like the colour but hell, it certainly makes the statement.

This Lamborghini Gallardo was destroyed by an unhappy owner in China, who has been unsatisfied with the lack of response from Lamborghini on a few problems that he encountered with his new supercar. The model apparently had some starting issues but when the owner tried to get them fixed, things spiralled downhill.

So to draw attention to consumer rights, particularly in China where the owner believes increased purchasing power for luxury goods has not been matched by increased service in that market, he decided to destroy his Gallardo with sledgehammers and the help of his own factory employees. It’s quite a scene - check out the hammered Gallardo in the pics below.
