Yikes, Lamborghini just dropped the worst car ad we've seen

Look, I get it. Car adverts are supposed to be a little bit ridiculous. They're supposed to sell a ludicrously luxurious, adventurous lifestyle, to ooze money from the screen in a series of slow-motion action shots of vehicles cruising across beautiful landscapes or cities. But this. This is too much. 

Lamborghini has just dropped the launch video for its new rally-inspired sports car, the catchily titled Huracán Sterrato. And it's everything you might expect from a car advert – until you turn the sound on. Copywriters, you might want to look away now. (Looking for advertising inspiration?
