A £330,000 Lamborghini and British Rolls-Royce have been destroyed after arsonists torched a building used by a leasing company to store its fleet of luxury cars.

The valuable vehicles were enveloped in flames inside a car storage facility in Digbeth, Birmingham England just after midnight on 21 August.

The £330,000 Lamborghini Aventador was in heat so intense it carbon fiber parts melted into the chassis. A  Silver Ghost Rolls, worth about £260,000 turned black from the thick smoke.  The arson attack was at VIP Limousines in Digbeth, Birmingham.

It was not a huge building, but it took more than 40 firemen with water jets and foam to get the blaze under control.

Thankfully nobody, including any firefighters were injured in the conflagration.
