That's not the first one. They seem to get one of those every couple of years. Must be a donation from the mafia. :D

Who in their right mind would want to speed in Italy? Hell I walked everywhere.

It's a publicity stunt for Lambo. They do it all the time.

hmm.
that works great.. until you turn off of the nicer paved roads.


they have been great at their original purpose though... moving organs for transplant quickly across the country.

Apparently they don't crash nearly as well as an Enzo.

900+ hp? Where are you getting that number? The new one mentioned in Mike's link is only 560, the one that crashed is probably less than that.

they're like Ducatis..... everyone thinks they're super fast, and they look fast, but in reality, theres alot of vehicles that are faster and cheaper, and you're paying for a combination of performance and image.

it was funny to read that, outside of regular maint. the cars did not require any shop time (with 87k and 62k miles) i would hope not, i know vehicles that get beat on worse than that with nearly 300k and the department still refused to deadline it. so what if smokes enough that it doubles as mosquito abatement.

Just read that part. Only 87,000 miles in 4 years. They must be only using it for high speed pursuits.
