Funny Lambo Crash.

Lamborghini crash more amazing than horrifying

Induced throttle oversteer at its best

Go to :40 for the impatient

I suspect the Lambo driver is insured. His rates will go way up. What a moron.

That is the guy the really NEEDS to go to a autocross to learn to drive his car. And get a car with traction control.

One might think that the more expensive the car the more intelligent the driver. This disproves that. He should save his antics for the racetrack.

Gallardos have stability controls. But it only takes a split-second to lose grip, and once that happened nothing can save you until the tires regain grip. That didn't happen here.

I have done it in a car with which I was unfamiliar in its power level and worn rear tires. I now own that car and have a judicious respect for its right pedal.

I think the funniest thing about it is its one of the worlds slowest crashes with one of the worlds fastest cars.

Well, Lamborghini's electronics must really be teh suck, then, because that should never happen with electronics turned on. Now, I can understand not recovering from a sideways slide, but it should have never happened in the first place. I'm guessing he had the aids turned off.

Really makes me think of Top Gear where Paul Tracy at the line gets stuck then starts complaining about malfunctioning features of the car....

I can't see how he did that. Freak accident. Oil in the road could have caused it.

But, no counter steer? Did the guy have a heart attack or something? Maybe that was not one to laugh at.

Can't find more info on the Lambo driver but the guy laughing and recording may get violation tickets for making a couple of illegal uturns. Talk about double karma!

From the position he ended up in, it looks like he countersteered about 2 seconds too late putting him perfectly between those two cars. Would of been better off just driving across the lane of stopped traffic.
