We’ve been seeing a lot of Wrecked Exotics recently, but here’s a Lamborghini Diablo crash actually caught on video.
The damage done to the truck looks to be light, but the damage to the front of the Diablo, and the driver’s ego, is gonna be a whole lot more expensive and time consuming to fix.

Those lucky Italian state police have just received a factory customized Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 capable of a staggering 203 MPH to catch your ass anywhere you go. BUT, this Lambo isn’t only about speed; it’s also full of all kinds of high-tech police gadgets. An automatic number plate recognition system can track and send plate data in real-time to central control rooms, while a forward-looking camera is capable of data-logging GPS information to the video information and transmitting the live feed in real-time. That tiny trunk up front actually has a purpose as a first-response medical platform and refrigerated box for high-speed organ transport.

Here’s something to get your blood flowing. A wealthy Arab, everyone’s guessing a Sheik, sent his black and gold Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 a whopping 6,500 miles from an airport in Qatar to Heathrow to have the car’s oil changed.

Look! Up in the sky!!! It’s a bird!!! No, it’s a plane!!! Wait, what is it?
It might not be the man of steel himself, but its sure got the power of a locomotive! But actually, its the extremely rare and expensive supercar known as the Lamborghini Reventón being suspended hundreds of feet off the ground by an Italian military helicopter! That’s right, Lamborghini got the idea to bring its halo supercar, the Reventón, to a conference in Turin, Italy by way of military helicopter and placed atop the roof the Lingotto building.

Now add the Lamborghini badge into that equation, and we’ve wondering what the the marketing department has left to do? Well, apparently, they go around making videos like this.
I guess the lesson we’re taking away from this is the people that actually buy six-figure exotic cars aren’t usually the hardcore driving enthusiasts. Instead, they’re just rich guys looking for something loud and flashy to show off to the ladies.
