A valet at a five-star hotel in the Indian capital caused $335,000 worth of damage to a Lamborghini Gallardo after crashing it into a concrete wall in front of horrified guests, a report said Thursday.

A photograph of the aftermath at Le Meridien hotel, published in the Times of India newspaper, showed the severely crumpled front end of the sleek white supercar with its hood forced up.

That is a lot of pay cheques for a valet :O

This hardly surprises me. I've seen so many clips and heard so many stories of these valets parking exotic cars where they decide to blip the throttle (or flat out rev it!) to hear the engine note, often forgetting they're in gear. Naturally the car leaps forward, often into something solid.

Condolences to the owner...

a spot of polish will do - buff it up, won't see a thing !

Anyone else seeing the floating clothes with no people wearing them?

He could just buy a new one instead for cheaper.

It sells in Europe for around $250,000 but import duties on supercars normally double their price in India.

Wow, no wonder they all drive those ****ty Tatas and Mahindras.

This is what you deserve if you are too lazy to park your own freaking car!

Not even his own car. He borrowed it from a friend. He was too lazy to park his friend's car.

I think the engine is in the back.

Correct

Well - he hit the front, not the back... There was a local panel beaters quote awhile back for a Ferrari - the parts are ridiculous.
