402 KM/H Lamborghini Fire Onboard Footage

Ever wondered what it’s like to drive a 2,005 hp twin-turbo Lamborghini Gallardo while crossing the finish line on fire at 400 km/h?
No problem, we have just the video for that. During the recent Unlim 500+ class event at the Moscow Mile, were all the big boys gather, a 2005 horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo brought the house down with the fastest ever time at the event.

As impressive as reaching the Bugatti Veyron’s top speed in just one mile is, the video is most impressive because it shows what the driver went through as he realized he was in danger.

Lamborghini and supercars in general are notorious for their tendency to burst into flames, and the Russian driver is panicking to get his multi-point seatbelt off even as the car is still rolling. His cabin is rapidly filling with smoke, but fortunately the fire isn’t as serious as it initially seemed.

Winning in a blaze of glory, that's what this is!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
