It's rare to see a R12 million supercar parked on your street, but that's exactly what happened in Soshanguve, Pretoria. A video of an orange Lamborghini sitting on a regular road in the township went viral on 5 November 2025, and people couldn't believe their eyes.
The video showed a crowd gathered around the bright orange Lamborghini, with some people using their phones to capture the moment. The owner got into the car, reversed out onto the road, and revved the engine to get some reactions from the crowd. Then, just like that, the supercar drove off down the street. It was a moment that had everyone talking, and the video ended up going viral.

Why supercars are so expensive
According to car experts at J.D. Power, there are several reasons why Lamborghinis cost so much. One of the main reasons is limited production. Lamborghini doesn't mass-produce vehicles, and some models are only made when a customer specifically requests them. This keeps the cars rare and exclusive, which drives up the price.
Another reason for the high cost is the specific materials used. Lamborghinis are made with expensive materials like carbon fibre, natural leather, and aluminium. Even the smallest bolt is designed to be as light as possible, which means using costly materials like magnesium.
The performance of the car also adds to the price. Lamborghinis can go from 0 to over 100 km per hour in seconds, and building that kind of power requires top-quality materials and engineering. Lastly, Lamborghinis are a status symbol and anything that adds to status screams money.
