Video Footage from the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Crash in Italy

It's a real pain in the you-know-what if you crash someone else's car let alone if you're a freelance writer that just ditched a $530k Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 that had been given to you for a test drive.

And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Glavinic, a writer that was helping out Austrian car magazine Autorevue with their annual supercar test.

We’ve already covered the incident extensively in previous posts, but today, Carscoop reader Raphael from Vienna pointed us to a new video from Autorevue that includes the scene of the Aventador crash that took place in Italy in late August.

Rare RHD 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV Hits the Auction Block

Enzo Ferrari might have not known it at the time, but when he famously dismissed Feruccio Lamborghini as a “tractor manufacturer”, he planted the seed for the creation of not just a single beautiful vehicle, but a whole class of supercars.

The Lamborghini Miura was launched in 1966 and stunned everyone not only with its design, but also with its specifications. It featured independent suspension and disc brakes all around and more importantly, it was propelled by a mid-engined V12 that enabled the Miura to reach a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).

Video: Swedish Man Jumps Over a Speeding Lamborghini Gallardo

Jumping over speeding cars seems to have become something of a sport lately – albeit an extremely dangerous one at that.

After recent footage of a man performing a flip over an Acura NSX at the 2nd Street Certified Car Show in Milwaukee, we now have a video showing a Swedish man jumping over a Lamborghini Gallardo going around 80km/h [~50mph].

We don’t have to tell you that for every successful stunt of this kind, there are many more that go horribly wrong (i.e. the Lada stunt seen in the third clip). So yeah, kids, don't try this at home…

Tuned Nissan GT-R Embarrasses Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 on the Drag Strip

As they say, more equals less, or to put it into context, the more horsepower a car has, the less time it will need to cover a defined distance.

And while the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 with its 6.5-liter V12 engine pushing out a hefty 700-horses for a factory 0 to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 2.9 seconds is by no means a slouch, 700HP is significantly less than around 1000HP.

That was the case with the R35 that went up against the white Aventador in the drag strip race you're about to watch after the break. According to the YouTube poster, this wasn't your run-of-the-mill Nissan GT-R but a heavily tuned R35 packing close to 1,000-horses under its hood.

Video: Lamborghini Gallardo "Ditched" to Avoid Oncoming Car

After a great trackday at the Modena circuit in Italy, the owner of this Lamborghini Gallardo took the road towards home. Little did he know just how much (deep) trouble he would get into…

According to supercar enthusiasts Marchettino who filmed his friend in the Italian supercar doing the rounds on the track and during the aftermath of the incident you're about to watch in the video below, at some point the owner of the Gallardo tried to pull to the side of the narrow road to avoid coming in contact with another vehicle.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated the width of the road and ended up half-way into the ditch.
