A shocking incident unfolded in Ontario, Canada, as a prospective buyer made off with a black Lamborghini Aventador sports car valued at $600,000 during a test drive.
The owner of the coveted Lamborghini Aventador, still reeling from the brazen theft, had advertised the high-performance vehicle for sale on Auto Trader. An agreement was made to meet on Tuesday in a parking lot for the test drive.
According to reports from the Waterloo Regional Police, the male suspect arrived at the designated location in a white Mercedes-Maybach, accompanied by other passengers.
Once granted permission to test-drive the Lamborghini, the suspect swiftly took advantage, closing the door and accelerating away with the luxurious sports car. The Mercedes-Maybach gave chase as the stolen Lamborghini sped towards Waterloo.

Describing the sequence of events, the Waterloo Regional Police Service’s ‘Break, Enter, and Vehicle Theft Team’ stated, “The male suspect arrived in the parking lot in a white Mercedes-Maybach with other individuals inside.
The suspect requested to take the Lamborghini for a test drive and was permitted to sit in the vehicle with the keys inside. The male suspect then closed the door and fled east towards Waterloo at a high rate of speed, followed by the Mercedes.”
The stolen car is believed to be the SVJ version of the Aventador, a model known for its staggering price tag of over $580,000 when it was in production. With its exceptional performance capabilities, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.8 seconds and achieve a top speed of 350 km/h (218 mph).
