Classic Car News: Clamping Down On Flashy Supercars

The sight of two stunning supercars clamped with those hideous bright yellow metal triangular plates is enough to bring tears to your eyes – then again it could be the gaudy bright blue paintjob that should be blamed for making them water. The Top Gear website has reported that the two super-exclusive exotics were clamped right outside Harrods in central London, with a collective value of around £1.8 million.

Needless to say the cost of getting the clamps removed was nothing for the owners of these supercars, considering they own the high-profile department store they were parked outside. The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is one of 350 models ever built, but the Koenigsegg CCXR is extremely rare with only six in existence. This would have been a spectacular photo moment had it not been for the clash of yellow and blue.

Crowds of tourists watched in disbelief as a traffic warden wrote out the tickets and clamped both vehicles, which were custom made in the “Al Thani royal family’s distinctive baby blue colour”, according to the Telegraph website.

It’s not just the colour that makes these cars so distinguishing, with the Koenigsegg capable of reaching speeds of up to 249mph and managing 0-60 in 2.9 seconds – that’s a staggering 1,064bhp. The Lamborghini also has an impressive top speed of 213mph and is capable of 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds. Not even these two supercars were a match for a traffic warden, when they came face to bumper with what Top Gear describes as “a creature which feels no pain, fear or pity”.

Although these delicious modern cars aren’t quite as delicate as their classic counterparts, the thought of a clamp damaging any part of these superbly sculptured vehicles is depressing  - and I doubt these brightly coloured wheel ‘accessories’ are going to catch on anytime soon.
