A Lamborghini Aventador Roadster has been destroyed following a high-speed crash in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The accident happened on Saturday when the driver of the Italian exotic was taking part in a drag racing event at a local runway. Eyewitnesses saw the Aventador spear off the end of the runway, plummeting into a ravine and being engulfed in flames.
It is unclear if the brakes on the car failed or if the driver simply braked too late but local publication Globo reports that he escaped the crash with minor injuries.
As the images below show, only a burnt-out shell remains, a far cry from the heavily modified Aventador that accelerated down the 1.5 km runway.
It is thought that this Aventador Roadster was one of just four residing in the country.
