Hey, am I correct to conclude that the S65 eats the Gallardo for lunch and spits it out from a stop *and* a rolling start?

Nice going

The Gallardo seems to be no match for the S65 AMG!

My friend's E55 Evosport Stage 1 killed a Gallardo. I was even able to run against the Gallardo. I didn't beat it, but he really didn't beat me either (I wasn't using NOS). Suprising that a Lamborghini is so slow

Awesome video, you have a beautiful car. I consider it the greatest sedan in the world.

Damn your car is fast. Is it stock or did you tune it? It put that lambo to shame and was that an e55 or e63 you were racing too? Great car enjoy!

of course the 2007 or any v12 biturbo S65 is going to kill a stock Gallardo. The horsepower difference is just too much. What is amazing is how the S65 killed it in every respect....off the line, mid range, top end.....unless the Gallardo had 4 big fat people in it.

Your car is amazing, drive it in good health. BTW were you racing in Dubai or Abu Dhabi? Coul'dn't tell from the plate number.

One more thing, just curious, could you tell us more about your race with the E63?

Isn't the Gallardo "only" a low 13 second car?

I raced in Abu Dhabi the E63 was interesting i don't know how to explain it is quicker than the E55 but no one seems to believe so, we will only know more about the E63 on the 15/9 thats when MBWORLD-TEAM meetup on the drag strip best of luck to all of them wish was there to take my car LOL

The S65 runs 13.3 0-200KM or 0-124.27MPH whichever not the quarter mile maybe the S65 will run mid 12s in the quarter i think

No offense but that Gallardo appeared to be shifting at really low RPM.

I don't own a Gallardo but have driven my share (both e-gear and 6-speed)... while I don't doubt the 65 is faster than the G... this video was not an accurate depiction. The guy driving the Gallardo was sandbagging most of the time.

65's are awesome! I drove my friend's Sl65 tuned by brabus IT'S QUICK AS HELL!

I wish I could afford one. It's a car that can be driven anyday anytime anywhere without being FLASHY.

HAHA

Yes its true my friend didn't give it all the way, it is clear in the vid he backed of the gas when i start pulling away he isn't much of a race guy we just were having a blast it's obvious he wouldn't have stood a chance LOL although he kind of cheated in the second run and it is clear how the S65 blew him away i'am sure you know how it would go anyways
