Somehow, someway, this man has put 300,000 miles on a Lamborghini Murcielago

  • This man clocked 300,000 miles on his Lamborghini Murcielago

Normal cars clocking in several thousand miles is nothing new for ‘everyday’ cars — but this Lamborghini Murcielago with 300,000 miles on it is absurd.

You don’t often see a Lamborghini — or any supercar, for that matter — with an odometer showing numbers as high as this.

Cars like these don’t exist to count miles but to go fast — for short distances.

Lamborghini Murcielago with 300,000 miles

So, who was adventurous enough to pull off something like this?

A YouTuber called Simon George, who owns a dual-tone black and orange Murcielago, set out to complete the milestone.

He has been at it for a while now and reportedly completed around 260,000 miles back in 2017.

Seven years is a long wait for 40,000 miles, but he got there anyhow.

If you’re wondering whether he himself drove the Lambo all the time, the answer is no.

He gave the orange-black Lamborghini Murcielago to a car rental company, so it’s safe to say he had help.

It’s the car clocking miles that matters — just like this Mercedes-Benz 240D cab with 4.35 million miles.

Regardless of who drove it, this Lamborghini’s 300,000-mile mileage is historic, to say the least.

What’s more, George hit the milestone while on a round trip from England to the Lamborghini factory in Bologna, Italy.

That’s certainly a great way to celebrate his and the Italian carmaker’s victories.

It takes a lot of money to drive a Lambo

Now, a Toyota with 300,000 miles wouldn’t be a surprise for anyone, but then again, it isn’t an Italian exotic with a V12 engine.

You see, Lamborghinis aren’t exactly low-maintenance cars that you can drive even if something feels odd.

For context, the maintenance costs for a ‘normal’ Murcielago are higher than those of most cars.

It requires around 14 sets of new tires every year, and the brake rotors, clutches, and other parts need replacement in periodic intervals.

Moreover, everyone knows that supercar parts aren’t cheap.

Plus, parts become harder to find as the car gets old — and this Lamborghini Murcielago is from 2004.

George’s ride most likely won’t hit the 1,000,000-mile mark, but this is remarkable enough.

It’s not anywhere near the world’s highest-mileage cars, but it’s (most likely) the world’s highest-mileage Lamborghini, and by some distance.
