Pfffff. Call me stupid but that thing looks like it's made of plastic. Nice looking car though.
Built Aventador tough
Both idiots, Lambo driver was going too fast but still had right of way.
...and they just so happened to ahve a handheld camera pointed [I]at[/I] the point of impact? Sorry but why were they originally filming?

It's a shame they are mostly driven by rich adolescents with no appreciation of the amount of engineering and thought put into designing such an iconic machine.
[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;44419497]you're right they should build super fast sportscars out of iron[/QUOTE] Oh yes because plastic is the only light-weight alternative
[QUOTE=whatthe;44419510]Oh yes because plastic is the only light-weight alternative[/QUOTE] It isn't plastic, it's carbon-fiber IIRC.

[/QUOTE] That would be plausible if the camera tracked the lambo from the start, but the camera was dead center on the exact spot the cars collided. Its an extreme coincidence I guess.

Not even close.
[QUOTE=Falubii;44419569]lol most Lamborghinis are not driven by adolescents. Not even close.[/QUOTE] Right. They're mostly driven by teenage adults that have no appreciation for money, because they get an unlimited income from their parent(s). Their parent(s) usually drive a nice car like a BMW, or Mazda, or a SUV. Nothing much that says; "WE HAVE LOTS OF MONEY, ROB US"
why the first videos thumbnail makes me think its CGI
[QUOTE=Covalency;44419755]They're mostly driven by teenage adults that have no appreciation for money, because they get an unlimited income from their parent(s).[/QUOTE] i'm pretty sure, barring celebrities n stuff, most sports cars are owned by middle-aged people. there's very few people younger than 35+ with the money for a lambo, let alone people who are in families rich (and stupid) enough to give one to their teenage son tbh it sounds like you're unnecessarily bitter about something for some reason so you've tried to attribute sports car ownership to having a correlation with young assholes without any proof for it
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;44419537]That would be plausible if the camera tracked the lambo from the start, but the camera was dead center on the exact spot the cars collided. Its an extreme coincidence I guess.[/QUOTE] More than likely the car was doing a pass by, the guy who was filming it goes around filming at events and shit to film a ton of cool cars mostly on the streets so you know the do they whole rev the engine and go fast kinda things to show off. here's an example: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY0nF3DLxIw[/media] so no it was not a coincidence that he was standing there, but it definitely wasn't staged either.
[QUOTE=whatthe;44419406]Pfffff. Call me stupid but that thing looks like it's made of plastic. Nice looking car though.[/QUOTE] Because the whole point of a car's bodywork is to break and shed in a crash. That dissipates the energy from the crash, keeping the occupants safe.
Idiot like that doesn't deserve a car like that.
I'm sure whoever was driving that car has enough money to repair it

i dont get why people are saying its the dude in the lambos fault, the guy obviously pulled out in front of him???
[QUOTE=poopiecrap;44421797]i dont get why people are saying its the dude in the lambos fault, the guy obviously pulled out in front of him???[/QUOTE] To be fair if the other car didn't expect the lambo to go so fast he probably thought he could easily make it.
I feel like the only person who thinks that Lamborghinis look like shit

I personally go out of my way to park at the back of the parking lot so that i don't get door dinged, and it still happens because people are inconsiderate. So this is what causes people to take up multiple spots.

I had one time where someone i guess forget to hit their brakes when they pulled in behind my truck, rolled their vehicle into my back bumper completely crushing the one side, and then drove off. After that i purposely park in the far back corner any where i go, and my vehicle isn't anywhere near $300,000+ like a lambo. If i had a lambo i'd be double parked in the far corner with landmines surrounding it
To reinforce, I'd rather you be a little but hurt over the fact I double parked my nearly half million dollar car than get door dinged by a piece of shit 1990 dodge caravan.
snapback and worn-jeans wearing douche, who'd have fucking guessed.
[QUOTE=cdr248;44422339]I feel like the only person who thinks that Lamborghinis look like shit[/QUOTE] I think it's silly when people judge cars based on looks. All cars are marvels to behold, knowing that each vehicle is the culmination of so much effort by so many people, designers and engineers, mechanics and workers, from different parts of the globe. All the trinkets and screws, each serving their own intended purpose in order to ultimately come together to provide you with a large metal box that takes you places. You turn on the engine, and witchcraft ensues. Maybe it's just me, but I love that sort of thing. Doesn't even matter if it's a Lamborghini or a Prius.
