Test driver crashes Aventador into Snow Bank
 

Test driver crashes Lamborghini Aventador, accosts spy shooter

Quote:

Being a spy shooter is tough work. It's all about being in the right place at the right time, hoping to train one's lens on a glimpse of verboten sheetmetal. We know from our colleagues that it's hard enough to just catch a blurry glimpse of a distant mule when the quarry doesn't want to be photographed, making this series of photos from our friends at CarPix that much more remarkable.

Not only have they captured a Lamborghini Aventador cold weather testing in the frigid Arctic Circle, their shutters were snapping as the test driver lost control and went sailing through an intersection and into a snowbank, documenting the crash frame-by-frame. Fortunately for all those involved, the snow wasn't packed too hard and both driver and Lamborghini emerged miraculously unscathed.

Apparently not happy with his good fortune, CarPix reports that "the driver then leaped out of the car, nearly falling down in the process, and came at our photographer in a fairly aggressive manner."

Thankfully, the embarrassment and anger was short-lived, as a winch-equipped Audi A6 Allroad came to the rescue. Seeing that his nearly $400,000 test subject was unharmed, the driver apparently cooled off enough to give our man a thumbs up before going on his way.

Pretty much all the modern supercars get winter testing. Don't you watch Top Gear?

-glad to see that the Aventador wasn't damaged.

If the snow wasn't there to slow him down, he could have crashed it into the bank and it would have been worse

Expresso 03-01-2012 07:25 PM

They make winter tires that wide?!

black 997 turbo? I see that thing on the top of Cypress mountain very often!

corollagtSr5 03-02-2012 12:11 AM

^ Thats just his winter beater, I wonder what else he drives.

FANtabulous 03-02-2012 12:21 AM

so no damage right? imagine what the guy was probably thinking as it happened hahahah

Pirelli makes winter tires for Lambos yea, they grip really well in the snow, I remember reading a Lambo owner from Utah on 6speed forums saying his winter tire equipped Murci was better in the snow than his F150 super duty, he actually daily drove it in winter

Iceman-19 03-02-2012 01:02 AM

No such thing as an F-150 Super Duty.

^ well, whatever the fck it is, some kind of Ford pickup I'm not familiar with their terminology, and also the post I'm talkin about is from a few years ago, surprised I remember anything about it at all

Gridlock 03-02-2012 04:21 PM

That's not surprising...trucks are shit in the snow.
