Idiot wreaks Lamborghini Gallardo in illegal street race





You would be forgiven for thinking someone who owned a €180,000 Lamborghini would know how to drive it. This video proves that that's not always the case.

Racing a Lamborghini on a track can be a hairy experience and one not for the faint of heart. However, you can take solace in the fact that if you slip off the track you’re more than likely just going to end up in the gravel. That’s not the case if you’re racing on an open public motorway.

These goons decided an illegal street race on the public roads of somewhere in Asia, was a great idea to show how massive their… wallets were. Sadly, the driver of the green Gallardo forgot to bring his driving skills with him on the day and sent his car into the motorway’s concrete wall.

The green Gallardo overtakes the camera car but is then stuck behind another ‘civilian’ car travelling in the fast lane. It then attempts to undertake this civilian car at the same time that the orange Gallardo overtakes a car in the slow lane.

The two supercars come within inches of crashing into each other but the orange one manages to keep his cool and stay on the road, unlike the green one.

The €180,000 green machine is sent out of control and into the wall by the driver who stupidly overcorrected the spin.
It’s just another fail from an overzealous supercar driver, and a win for everyone else.

$4 Million Car Crash Involving Eight Ferraris, One Lamborghini And One Nissan GT-R

The involvement of eight Ferraris, one Lamborghini and a Nissan GT-R in a recent accident at Japan earned it a top position in the list of most expensive automobile accidents. The loss is estimated at over $4 million.


The damage caused was so severe that most of the luxury cars were to be written off by the owners, leaving them with the nightmare scenario of seeing their prized possessions turned into expensive scrap metal.


It was a group of narcissists, supposedly heading towards a supercar owner's gathering in Hiroshima some 100 kilometers from the site of accident. The drivers involved were aged between 37 and 60 years.



The accident was caused by a 60 year old self-employed man, owner of one of the Ferrari's. Eye-witnesses say that the lead car lost control in the rain-soaked expressway and hit the central barrier when the driver of the Ferrari switched lanes in an attempt to overtake a car up in front. As a chain reaction, the other cars in the convoy of supercars, reported to have been travelling much above the allowed speed limits, crashed into the lead car further magnifying the accident.
Even though no fatalities were reported, 10 people were treated in a nearby hospital for bruising and other minor injuries. The expressway was closed down for over 6 hours, for the authorities to clear up the pile-up and debris scattered over 500 meters on the expressway.


Police have informed that the driver of the lead car that initiated this chain reaction could be jailed for upto three months or a heavy fine of $1300.
TV footage showed a Ferrari that had plowed into the outer guard rail, while another one had its engine bonnet almost ripped off.


Some of the cars involved included two Ferrari F430s, two Ferrari 360 Modenas, two Ferrari F355s, a Lamborghini Diablo, a Nissan GT-R, a Mercedes CL600 and a Toyota Prius hybrid.


Here's a video of the so called "Ferrari Graveyard":
