Yes, it’s another set of videos of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, but we're not complaining. This time, the Raging Bull supercar was caught at the Autodromo Vallelunga Piero Taruffi racing circuit just outside of Rome, Italy. Unfortunately, the three clips are quite short – up to 12 seconds each, but at least we get a taste of the 700-horsepower V12 engine’s sounds. Watch them after the jump.
A 51-year old man from Bloomfield Township lost his classic 1974 Lamborghini Espada as well as half of his home, which he had just sold to a new owner a week ago, when the vintage car exploded in his garage on Friday. According to officials, the man was trying to start up the classic four-seater Lamborghini in the garage when it exploded and erupted to flames, which quickly spread to the rest of the house. The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined.
Luckily, the 51-year old man as well as his mother and a dog that were in the house at the time of the accident escaped unhurt. Not surprisingly, neither the owner of the Lamborghini or the home's new owner were in the mood to comment on the incident. Watch the video report after the jump.

If you haven’t heard, March 15 is World Consumer Rights Day. So what a better way to celebrate the day if not by expressing discontent with poor customer service? At least that's what a Lamborghini Gallardo owner from China chose to do, with his shocking protest having every chance to cause reactions as far away as Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.
We all have our unfortunate experiences as consumers, but I think none of us would have the heart to do what this man did. After his Lamborghini Gallardo failed to function following a service at an official Lamborghini workshop, he decided to protest in public.
And what was his idea of a protest, we hear you ask? Brace yourselves - he hired people to destroy the sports car with hammers right in front of a large audience in the city of Qingdao, China, in an attempt to provoke public support and to determine the manufacturer to respect his consumer rights!
Don't watch the following video if you are an exotic car fan or if you are a Lamborghini employee. It really hurts...

For those of you that still haven't had enough of the Lamborghini's newest dream car, here's a comprehensive photo gallery and a video presentation of the Aventador LP700-4 straight from the Geneva Motor Show floors.
Named after a bull that entered into battle in October 1993 at the Saragossa Arena, earning the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" for its courage, the Aventador is the latest in a long line of Lamborghini V12-powered supercars that span back to the 1970s Miura. It comes equipped with a brand-new 6.5-liter V12 engine pushing out 700HP and 509 lb-ft of torque for a 0-100 km/h (62mph) sprint time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350km/h (218mph).
