Considering Mr. Lamborghini Test Driver himself (Balboni) crashed this one, I find it hard to believe its somehow Car and Driver's fault.

Maybe they should change the magazine to Crash and Driver!



















Yeah. I know. That was pretty lame.

Hum, this car seems difficult to handle at the limit ... They should take care of US issues, when you see what happen after the CGT crash

"The car doesn't handle very well..."

Well, DON'T release the 500bhp under the bonnet a bit too early before you have exited a bend correctly otherwise you're gonna end up in a ditch or mountin wall....

Maybe they've toned down the driving aids on the 640 versus the Murci/Gallardo, or it could just be set-up more aggresively all-around, which would make sense. 640hp is not something to be taken lightly...
