When "taking it to the track" goes wrong.
 
Warning - A bit graphic.

Apparently, the Lambo flipped and caught fire.

Man, that sucks. I wonder if it had been "regular"opening doors they would have survived.

Chrisbert Aug 22, 2006 09:46 AM

Yeah. Too bad he also took a passenger with him.

TALAN7 Aug 22, 2006 11:36 AM

Yeah, sounds like a safety concern that the doors won't open if the car flips over.

Looks like he hit so not only did he lose a wheel but flipped and landed face down and caught fire. They might have died on impact. Seen a bad lambo wreck years back. I posted the story and pix on here. That one caught fire too. Thank fully no one died in the wreck I witnessed.

Chrisbert Aug 22, 2006 03:17 PM

I hope they died on impact, but the theory is they tried to climb out.

Sorry to hear this........

Keep it on the track with instructors.

Moostafa29 Aug 22, 2006 11:25 PM

Geeez, that sad.

BoosTED Aug 23, 2006 01:13 AM

The first few pics I didn't realize the car was upside down. :sad:

Sobering to say the least.

Reminds me of drivers education class in high school. :eyetwitch

Gross pics at the end. Unfortunate. Can spend 200k on a lambo, but can't live to enjoy it.

From a subsequent thread in the Lounge, the article posted there says he was on a public road and was an experienced professional driver. I don't know about the public road part because it looks like a tractor trailer paddok behind the car in the first pics.

Seems there is a conspiracy theory going around that Lambo may have serious safety issues. Simple things that may not ever surface on our cars running normal (well, almost normal) speeds.

This site features one guys story about his lambo.

Sorry if its a repost, didn't see anything on it.

lourx8 Aug 24, 2006 03:47 PM

Holy crap, maybe I dont want a Murcielago after all.

RazzyBRX-8 Aug 24, 2006 06:39 PM

After reading that one site about the guy, I only have one thing to say.

And some people say MNAO is shifty.

Well, two things to say. It's a real shame the two lost their lives..
