(btw it is a very smexy car
)A speeding motorist who killed a teenage cyclist is suing the boy's parents over damage to his luxury car, the Spanish government says.
Enaitz Iriondo, 17, died instantly in August 2004 when businessman Tomas Delgado's Audi A8 crashed into him at 160 km/h near Haro in northern Spain, an Interior Ministry traffic report said. The speed limit was 90 km/h.
Iriondo was not wearing reflective clothing or a helmet. As the sun had set when he crossed the path of Delgado's car from a side road, a regional court found both parties at fault and closed the case.
Delgado, whose insurance company paid Iriondo's parents 33,000 euros ($A55,415) in compensation for their son's life, filed a suit to recover 20,000 euros ($A33,585) in damages to his car and car rental costs, the ministry traffic report said.
"It's the only way I have to claim my money back," Delgado was quoted as saying by the newspaper El Pais.
Iriondo's parents were shocked.
"It's the final straw, a stab in the back," Iriondo's mother Rosa Trinidad said, according to El Pais. "Before the lawsuit we thought the poor guy would find it hard to live the rest of his life with the thought of having caused our son's death.
