Supercar collector calls Lamborghini a liar for not being the only Aventador SV owner in South Africa

Last week, Ferrari managed to incur the wrath of a collector, when he sued the Italian carmaker for not letting him buy a LaFerrari Spider, causing his reputation to be damaged. Now, another Italian carmaker, Lamborghini, is in the crosshairs of a disgruntled customer from South Africa for supposedly “selling lies.”

The car involved is the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce coupe, which is limited to just 600 units globally. Naturally, this level of exclusivity will cost buyers a sizeable sum of money, and as such, some would want their purchase to come with that little something extra.

In this case, a well-known supercar collector was promised by a local Lamborghini dealership in Johannesburg that he would be the only person in the African country to own an Aventador SV coupe. However, after he discovered that there are two, possible more units of the limited-edition model driving around in South Africa, the man blew his top.

To express his anger at Lamborghini for “lying” to him, the man actually placed stickers on his car that read, “Lamborghini JHB Sells Lies.” If that isn’t enough, there’s even a dedicated website (Google it) that contains the same message as the car’s decals, along with a cryptic ala-Skyfall message – “the truth will come out.”

As you can tell, limited-edition Lamborghinis and limited-edition Ferraris are serious matters these days.

    His sticker should have read, “Lamborghini Johhanesburg Sells To Suckers”

      Liar? Then we all in Malaysia should drive with stickers that say, Government promised us 30% reduction in car prices but lied to us.

      This Lambo owner does not know how Malaysians suffer with high car prices. And how Jib cheated Malaysians by promising us a reduction in car prices by 30%

      Sad that we have to pay high car prices to support his luxurious lifestyle and his wife’s handbags.

    Well, since its no longer “limited edition” to him, I don’t mind having it in good faith to make him feel better. Hey, its a win win situation, no?

  • This extends far beyond just a car. It has to do with the principle and promises being kept. Furthermore, there has been many issues sureounding Lamborghinis customer service in South Africa in the past for this specific customer and others. This article barley scrapes the surface.

    Its still limited edition. There won’t be a 610th SV. But is it possible this is a Lambo from a neighbouring country? But if it isn’t, and he if indeed was promised to be the only owner (what silly dealer would do that??), than Lambo JHB has to own up. Lambo JHB have to buy back from the other 2 owners at insanely inflated prices then sell to Malaysia.
