‘This Is Going on YouTube’: See How This Lamborghini Ends Up Crashing

It’s not every day you see a $250,000 car in front of you at a stop light. Can you blame the driver and friends sitting behind the bright yellow Lamborghini Gallardo for switching on a smartphone to record some footage of it taking off when the green light flashes?
(Image: YouTube screenshot)
They sure are glad they did. Although initially disappointing to the car doing the filming, the Lamborghini doesn’t gun it and go straight through the intersection as expected when the light changes. He does gun it but turns left instead. That’s when the disappointment of missing out on getting to see the car really open up turns into something those filming never expected.
We won’t describe what happened any further. Watch it for yourself and form your own judgements (Note: If you can’t stand the anticipation of waiting for the light to turn green, jump to 0:48):
Toward the end of the video, one of the passengers says “That is getting some good views.” So far, it has more than 400,000 hits within a day of posting.
Jalopnik, an automotive blog, considers the crash “stereotypical.” Is it what you were expecting?

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 2:35pmServes that driver right.
I see people in sporty cars all the time on my state roads drive like the road is their own personal race track.
To the driver and anybody who knows the driver of the over priced foreign piece of nonsense….THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING COCKY.

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 8:10amI’m pretty sure this was one of those “Mayhem” Allstate commercials they were filming.
“You just bought a $300,000 Lamborghini and want to show off to your girlfriend what a bad ass driver you are, to make up for your lack of penis size…when…CRASH”!!!!!

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 7:44amUnless you live near the salt flats, buying a Lamborghini to drive around in the US makes about as much sense as flying from Philadelphia to Atlantic City on the Concorde. If you have the insatiable desire for speed, go to Germany and rent a Lamborghini. At least on the autobahn, you can drive in the left lane at 190mph if you’d like.

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 11:21pmI think it fitting that one of the two cars the Lambo ran into was a law enforcement officer. It was like the officer turned on a giant magnet and made the Lambo come to him.

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 11:38pmSorry, law enforcement officers rarely drive Mercury Grand Marquis. There is nothing about the car that looks like a civil service vehicle other than it’s platform mate is used as them. It’s just a guy in a big Mercury.

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 8:42pmUp in the hills where I live we had a Lamborghini club go through our county and one of the cars lost control, lept a gully and landed in a cow pasture and burst in flames. The woman driving was unhurt. We came upon it a short time after the accident and the woman was standing on the side of the road laughing her @$$ off. There were over a hundred feet of skid marks in line with where she landed.
