Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo Crashes At 200+MPH

submitted by mintbbb

1 decade 3 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

YouTube: Underground Racing built this Twin Turbo Gallardo to go one mile racing. It was making just shy of 2000rwhp. At the Texas Mile, on October 23rd, 2010, they were attempting to set a new record. The driver went through the traps at just under 240mph. When he pulled the chute, the back of the car got loose causing the car to exit the track to the right. The car then went over a berm, causing it to go air born. Due to the extensive safety equipment, and a lot of luck, the driver walked away from this crash.

Of course the back of the car was loose, the parachute practically lifted the rear end in the air.

WTF were they thinking.

It's Lamborghini :-)

...and what gearbox could handle 2000 bhp? :-O

none. hence the parachute.

In hindsight, probably would have been better had he coasted to a stop. =]

Foolish mortals.

He prolly floored the brake pedal too. Thats just not working. Plus I wouldnt never pull such stunts with a Lamborghini because they are fragile and extremely dangerous.

I love the Gallardo. Partly because to me, it's the coolest looking car ever. And partly because it's truly pronounced "Gay-ardo" and I love to watch people flinch when I say it.

How much do you think that little stunt cost them? Maybe $200,000?

Why the hell was there only one very shaky camera filming this? Come on, at least use a tripod...
