Accident today between two luxury cars Lamborghini and Lucid in my hometown (Passo Stelvio, South Tyrol, Italy)
I think it is a Lamborghini Huracàn Evo (€ 220.000+) and a Lucid Grand Touring (€ 100.000+).

Haha exactly what came to my mind. Man that probably hurt him more than the crash.

I have to say, I don't keep up with the love lives of the rich and famous, so I don't know who he's tampering with these days. I was just using the line Clarkson used, because it was amusing.

Looks like the Lucid was pretty cool with it.
Wait a minute. Are you from the same neck of the woods as Reinhold Messner?
He's an all time great, no questions asked.

u/Klangspektrum 29d ago
Yes. I also had the honour to meet him personally on different occations. As a mountaineer myself, he never failed to facinate me with his stories about conquering the highest peaks in the world. Terrific guy.

You're beyond privileged. It's like talking to Muhammad Ali.

Fun fact: his brother Dr. Hubert Messner happened to be my paediatrician. Fantastic doc according to my mom.

Ouch. Stelvio pass is one of the most phenomenal places to drive through, sad that it had to end this way for them.

Yep, that pretty much looks like my idea of paradise. And that castle at 2:30 looks exactly like the one in Hudson Hawk.

Too much speed around a hairpin mountain turn? Some of those switchbacks in the Alps are no joke.

it’s interesting with the way both cars are designed, neither is critically impacted and only hit dead space crumple zoned

u/BornFree2018 29d ago
Which car hit the other or were they both wrong?

u/TiLeddit 26d ago
The Lambo was almost pushed off the road. They were probably both going faster than they should have.

I hope they have insurance

u/domtheprophet 28d ago
If you’re driving around a super car without insurance, it’s natural selection and I don’t feel bad
2
u/darkbeerguy 28d ago
Yeah, basically two kinds of people drive cars like that: those that have insurance and those that don’t need insurance.

I have driven that road a few times. I have incredibly fond memories of Bormio!

Honestly, not a huge fan of the stelvio. The lower portion, yes, but once you get above the treeline its just hairpins and traffic. I preferred Salo or Pordoi.

As a flatlander, driving up and down the mountains around Tyrol just about made me poop my pants.
Doing it in a supermarket would've made it a certainty.

When calling the insurance company today: “Harro, Chinese food. I take your order please?”

And they aren't sold in Europe afaik, so just getting it there might add a bit to the cost...

The Stelvio Pass gets another victim.
