I bet his claim gets denied ...
They both survived.

PeterUbers

I mean... I hope they are ok and not sure they will ever NOT drink out of a straw against or need a ventilator to breathe... But what a couple idiots to be driving like that ... The Lord giveth and then He taketh away

QWKSNKE

They survived? Obviously they were thrown from the car

chrisridebike8

Nah. The article i read said the driver crawled from the wreckage and then pulled the passenger out. Shortly after, the car burst into flames.

jcfay

they are phenomenally lucky to have lived. morons. I'm sorry, I love to drive my car and speed a bit, and I guess an argument can be made for driving faster on the autobahn (no idea where this was), but I guess you've got to figure the risk is significant. ridiculously lucky.

solekeeper

that was pretty ballsy to go that long, that fast.


that said, dam the huracan is safe.

jcfay

I doubt the Huracan is safe. Nothing will keep you alive if you bail at 200+, but luck. That's it. Blind, stupid luck.

fark

abcut973

That is just plain stupid! Some lucky *****
I hope they'll think twice before doing anything similar again .. if they still can...

AMGPower88

What exactly happened? Just too fast and couldnt control the speed? Or did they hit a bump or something on the road ?

wow nothing is left

*195mph crash.

That aside, I wish we could see what happened. The passenger starts bouncing, but the wheel/driver's hands are steady as a rock till the last second.

PeterUbers

They may have understood the risks of driving at that speed and perhaps accepted the consequences, but I clearly saw other people on that road that were not racing (i.e. "regular folk") and it's not fair to them to potentially get caught up in that accident, let alone be injured or die because of it.

Something must have happened to the car.
Damn it's a hand build Italian, anything can break or come lose at any time.

I personally drove several times over 190mph but only for 30sec tops.
It can be save if you do it with almost no traffic and in perfect conditions (autobahn).
used to drive to work every day going 100 to 120mph and nothing ever happened.

At least it's safer than going 70mph eating a burger and texting at the same time behind the wheel (US interstate).

chrisridebike8

The road surface changed, causing the car to lose control. It hit the guard rail and then slid into the ditch and flipped. I'll look for the article I read...

chrisridebike8

Here ya go.

if they air-lifted the passenger out, then he is JACKED. Not surprising considering the speed and massive boneheadedness...

Incredible demonstration of the safety of the Huracan if you ask me, since both survived a 300+kmh crash :O.

And yeah I drove twice at 240km/h on the autobahn and it was scary as ****. All it takes is one driver not checking his mirrors when changing lanes and you're ****ed.

AMG6.3

that is plain stupid. I can't believe they kept that speed up for so long doesn't make any sense.

ToXicXxX

Yikes... I hit 302 on the road in my C63 and it scared the heck out of me. Didn't hold it for long, that's for sure.

snowmuch

It looks gay when he uses his pinky to change gear.

PeterUbers

Lol..... Anyone surviving at 200mph is plain lucky in the way the car crashed, sorry it says nothing about the lambo's safety

How about a head on collision at 200mph... Can the lambo protect against that?

AMGPower88

They are so damn lucky to be alive.... Look at how Paul Walker died, similar scenario but his Porsche wasnt even going as fast as this Huracan...

kimeran

On a side note....that car was accelerating like crazy even after 300!

sventastic82

It's the same with everything like base jumping or sking down a hill.
It just takes getting used to.
I drove up to 200km/h for 30min commuting daily for over 3years before I moved to the US
Never had an issue with someone not checking there mirrors before changing lanes.
The key is, left lane for passing cars only, rear view mirror check every 3sec to see upcoming cars and to be aware of your surroundings.
Driving fast make pay more attention and being on high alert. That alone reduces the risk of an accident.

Everytime I take coworkers to germany for a business trip I get a fast rental car.
As soon as the signs show no speed limit I punch it to 250km/h.
Most of the guys I took holding on for their life at fist but then get used to it.
Nothing to it.

I'm more afraid that semi trucks here in the US drive up to 85mph and pass cars.
They need to be slowed down to at most 60.
