A woman treated herself to her dream car by renting a blue Lamborghini Huracán from SIXT for her birthday, only to return it around 2 a.m. with severe damage that has sparked widespread discussion online. Viral surveillance footage, shared on X just after Christmas 2025, captures the supercar being driven into the rental lot overnight, followed by a morning inspection revealing extensive underbody gouges, deflated tires, and fluid leaks dripping onto the ground. During the rental period, she had contacted the agency to report a flat tire and leaking fluids, but chose an after-hours key drop-off instead of waiting for staff.
The video shows the car elevated on a lift, exposing deep scrapes across the chassis and components, typical of repeated bottoming out on steep inclines, speed bumps, or curbs. Lamborghini Huracáns have notoriously low ground clearance—around 5.3 inches in standard setup—making them vulnerable to such issues when driven without caution on everyday roads. Exotic rental companies like SIXT perform detailed pre-rental inspections on high-value vehicles, and the fresh nature of the damage points directly to it occurring while in her possession.
She is almost certainly liable for the repairs under standard exotic rental terms. Contracts from agencies like SIXT hold renters responsible for underbody damage, tire problems, and any misuse, even if optional coverage is purchased—such exclusions are common for negligent handling. Returning the vehicle after hours while aware of issues does not absolve responsibility; it simply delays discovery. Potential costs could easily surpass $40,000, factoring in specialized parts, labor, and possible suspension or fluid system fixes.
This incident serves as a stark reminder for anyone renting supercars: these machines demand respect for their design limits. Always photograph or video the vehicle’s condition at pickup, drive conservatively on unfamiliar roads, and report any concerns immediately during business hours. For more on protections, check SIXT’s damage and waiver policies. Lamborghini’s official Huracán specifications highlight the low profile that contributes to these risks. Discussions on supercars and speed bumps and real-world Huracán damage cases underscore why agencies emphasize experience and caution with exotics.
