Florida is bracing for Hurricane Beryl in a season with scary weather predictions. But it seems that nothing can scare this Lamborghini Huracan driver. Definitely not afraid of any hurricane and confident that it can swim to salvation, the car drives through water and climbs on the side of the road. That move might have made the difference between a perfectly functional car and a write-off.
The gorgeous Lamborghini Huracan, painted white with a burgundy rag top, shows up driving through a flooded area. It doesn’t go too far, though. The stubborn owner is probably just trying to save it from the water and somehow manages to drive it to a raised embankment on the side of the road. Only the front axle can actually climb there, but it is still better than leaving the car in the water, which goes halfway over the wheels.
The rear-wheel drive of the Huracan is giving the driver a headache, as many in the comments claim he should have just gone and bought the Huracan Sterrato. That wouldn't have helped much, though, considering the circumstances, because the extra ground clearance could not have kept the car above the water.
The Huracan has a ground clearance of 5.3 inches (135 millimeters), while the Sterrato version sits at 6.7 inches (170.2 millimeters) from the ground. But the all-wheel drive would have pulled the car up on that embankment easier.
"Just get that insurance check, bro," someone recommends after seeing the video uploaded to Instagram. Well, insurance or not, no owners who love their cars would have just sat and watched their Lamborghini drowning. "It's the Sinkato Insirinca Claimato Edition," someone joked in the comments section.
One thing is for sure: the owner saved the Huracan from sinking and gave the sports car a chance to live and tell the tale unless the insurance company tags it as "flooded" and declares it a "write-off." After this is over, the owner will have to take the car to a service shop and check it for damages.
Many cars nowadays end up as write-offs for sale on the salvage car market, even though they are not as damaged as the damage inspector believes they are, like the "burned" McLaren 650S Spider that we reported about earlier this week. The car, which actually had no damage caused by the fire, started the moment it got a new battery, and the one who bought it also put a new battery in the key fob.
We have seen Lamborghinis braving storms before. A video of a yellow Huracan, instantly turning into a yellow submarine, became viral during Tropical Storm Eta, which hit South Florida. At some point during the footage, the Lambo seems almost completely submerged. But it eventually marches out of the water as if that kind of showoff was what it was made for.
Earlier this year, we reported about someone's decision to get a Lamborghini Aventador up on jacks to save it from the floods that hit Dubai. The car was parked right outside a wheel shop.
The owner is soon to find out if the 5.2-liter V10 that powers his Huracan has beaten the hurricane or drowned. Meanwhile, Florida is bracing for another blow.
The official National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast predicts that Hurricane Beryl will move over the Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday night and will sweep the southern Gulf of Mexico on Friday.
