Italian car spotter Marchettino recently uploaded this video of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo spinning out in an high speed corner and crashing at around 240km/h (149 mph).
The video starts of kind of ominously with a shot of another Gallardo which had just spun out into the gravel traps, but the driver presses on and in high-speed right-hander loses grip on the right side of his car, spinning straight into the barrier.

Heavy damage is sustained both at front and back as the Super Trofeo is spinning, but the driver does not sustain any injuries. He's able to drive the car straight away and gingerly gets it to the pits where the damage is revealed by the camera.

Car number 33 is driven by Roberto Sorti (ITA) Davide Stancheris (ITA). Most of the damage looks cosmetic, but the mechanics still have a hard job ahead of them.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
