Lamborghini bursts into flames during test drive

A man test-driving a Lamborghini in the US was forced to bail out of the $362,000 sports car when it suddenly burst into flames.

The motorist, believed to be an internet millionaire, was driving the Lamborghini Aventador along Highway 73 in southern California when he noticed the car was ablaze, the Daily Mail reports.

The driver managed to pull over and escape the luxury car before the fire, which started in the engine compartment, spread.

The motorist appeared unshaken by the mishap, posing with the burnt out sports car after firefighters had extinguished the blaze.
