Everyone dreams of buying a supercar in India, especially the young automotive enthusiasts of the country. However, one thing we forget is that the quality of roads is still not that good in India. Recently, showing how this is true, a video of an Aston Martin Vantage supercar being stuck on a poor service road has been shared online. In this viral clip, a black Aston Martin can be seen struggling to cross the massive potholes created on a bumpy service road.

Aston Martin Vantage Gets Stuck on Bumpy Road
This video of the Aston Martin spinning its rear while being stuck on a bumpy service road has been shared on Instagram. It comes courtesy of Car Crazy India. It starts off with the car going sideways on top of a massive pothole. We can note that the supercar driver, along with a person assisting him, was trying to maneuver his Aston Martin across the massive potholes.
Unfortunately, at one point, the rear wheels of the Aston Martin were losing contact with the road. Due to this, the rear wheels of the supercar were rotating in the same spot. Now, as the Aston Martin Vantage is a rear-wheel-drive car, it could not move ahead as its front wheels do not get any power.
Where Did This Happen?
As per the post, this Aston Martin Vantage got stuck on the bumpy side road while leaving the popular Shere Punjab restaurant in Kolaghat, West Bengal. This is a popular spot for automotive enthusiasts to stop while going on Sunday joy rides. In this video, as well, we can note a BMW M3, which was most likely with the Aston Martin.

As stated, the car that you see in the video which got stuck is a previous generation Aston Martin Vantage. This supercar comes equipped with a 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8, which has been sourced from Mercedes-Benz. It makes 502 bhp and 675 Nm of torque. It came with both a dual-clutch automatic transmission as well as a manual gearbox.
Not The First Time Supercars Have Struggled
This is not the first occasion in which we have seen a supercar struggling in India. Over the years, we have seen numerous similar videos. One of them was recently shared online, and it was recorded in Mysore. In this video, not one but a few different supercars were seen struggling to cross a very rough patch of road.
It was noted that there was a patch of road with huge potholes. In this clip, we first saw an Audi R8 trying to maneuver its way around the potholes. Next, we saw a Ferrari 812 Superfast doing the same. Lastly, we saw a Mini Cooper luxury hatchback also finding it difficult to cross this road.
Bugatti Veyron Stuck On A Speed Breaker
A few years ago, back in 2011 to be precise, Bugatti, the ultra-luxury hypercar manufacturer, brought its Veyron Grand Sport to India. This Rs 12 crore hypercar was brought by the company as a test drive model to provide the ultra-wealthy clients of India a chance to own it.
Unfortunately, Bugatti could not find a single buyer in the country at the time. However, during the visit, this car became famous on the internet. This was because it was first seen refueling at a local petrol station. Following this, it was recorded struggling to cross a massive speed breaker on the road.
The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport that was brought to India came powered by an 8.0-liter engine that produced a maximum power of 1001 bhp and 1,250 Nm of torque. It could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds and achieve a top speed of 407 km/h.
