  • drive it damn it, and shut up!

  • lol his asian

  • thumbs up if youd rather have a gallardo than a murcielago

  • @GrabbinSomeHAX I would rather have an AVENTADOR. Thanks!

    

  • @nyjatt911 nah i wouldnt be able to have fun in a car that costs that much

  • @GrabbinSomeHAX When you are talking about hundreds of thousands worth of cars, a hundred thousand here and there hardly makes a difference to the rich millionaires/billionaires who buy these toys...just my $0.02

  • May i ask...

    how do this car's gear function?

    as in normal cars, they have gears right? as in manual transmission and so on...

    how bout this car? how does it operates?

    sorry...i really dunno bout sports car...

  • @no1joey what the fuck is your problem douche, if you don't want see how to work the damn car then dont watch the video.

  • vaya salida mas mala... acelera mas a fondo chinoo!! que casi se te cala.. jajaj

  • check out that funny looking gook with shades.

  • <------------ DO NOT CLICK HERE

  • For everyone saying that the launch control sucks, it's actually working fine.

    The launch control is actually much faster than a manual box. Both Car and Driver and R&T tested the launch control, and it did 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, 0-100 in 6.9!!! In comparison, a rwd manual Gallardo Balboni took 3.5 and 7.5 seconds. Oddly, Lambo says it takes like 3.7 sec to 60. Paddleshift>manual in speed.

  • i thought max speed reached in 5th gear?

  • lol kicked in the butt, VERY nice lol

  • Do you know the name of the song in this clip?

  • Guys he had no control over the launch. The LP560 does not have a clutch pedal it is an E Gear car and this was a demonstration of the automatic launch. It bogged down on launch because the car sensed loss of traction and cut the power and or there was clutch slip. Probably from Journos launching it all the time....;)

  • name of the song in the begining???

  • pussy launch...

  • what does it mean bogged... srry but i dont know much about cars

  • bogged means, uhm. It's hard to explain, but If you know what pop the clutch means, then that's what he DIDN'T do. Even with what he did the tires should has squaked a little bit. It seems when he did it, the car dropped to it's idling RPM, and then went. If that makes any sense.

  • It seems he didn't use the clutch at all...

    It seemed like it did a launch with no clutch, so it went indeed back to idle rpm, and then it went to accelerate.

  • Yeah, I think he bogged it a bit at the start

  • looked like it bogged a bit on launch

  • or the clutcht were smoked?

  • Well it's e-gear so it's not him

  • it is more tire-friendly than the lp640

  • its fuckin fast that car iv sat in 1 and fuckin hell its amazin

  • was it me or the car didnt have a REALY fast launch :S seemed like it haulted to change to 2nd gear :S

  • i'd like to see a comparo where cars accel times are compared between launch control with a regular stomp on the loud pedal, with and without ESP. that will give us an idea of how it'll perform at a regular stop light when ur gonna show off to onlookers.

  • the gallardo is between 200,000 and 270,000 and the murcielago is between 300,000 and 370,000

  • No lamborghini cost nearly a million dollars. Except for the Reventon and maybe the Estoque

  • lll

  • i just got one last year, it goes 234 mph max speed, it is purple and has black and purple leather interior

  • the murcielago doesnt even go that fast, neither does the zonda

  • What are you stupid? I have an LP640 roadster which can hit just over 200 MPH... Considering a car that costs nearly a Million dollars more can go about 50 miles per hour more I'd say it's fast. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

  • Your telling me that the GALLARDO which is cheaper is going to be faster than a murcielago. Obviously you dont have a murcielago

  • What are you mental? I made no mention of a Gallardo. I said a car that costs nearly a million dollars more than an LP (which is the Veyron) only goes about 50 mph faster than the LP and Zonda. And yes, I have an '08 roadster in Arancio Borealis

  • looks like it shifts pretty hard. is that one of those auto clutch manuals?

  • it has different settings in which the car would autoshift or manual shifting to reach its top speed faster, you'd get used to it.

  • i have one of this... x)

  • Comment removed

  • if i had one of these i wouldn't give a shit about speed limits

  • Speeding fines doubled when workers present. HAHAHA

  • verga! eso es un auto!

  • VERY cool! I've never liked the lime green colour before, but in this it looks quite nice. Looks happy, like a Lamborghini should!

  • you spelt philosophy wrong

  • You just cannot compare a Lambo to a Ferrari...diff. type of cars even though they are street racecars.

    That will be like comparing a marathon runner to a sprinter and saying that the marathon runner is slow...

  • The exterior is perfect. All they need to fix is the interior and the driving feel: new, more crisp and exotic interior (less audi) and more similar handling to a ferrari.

  • Never say again to make a Lambo like a Ferrari

  • thats funny you say that because the lp 560-4 is faster than the f430 scuderia

  • what does the CORSA button do?

    and the SPORT button?

    and the ESP?

  • LOL nice bottom out @ 0:10

    What ever happened to sports cars being stick shift?

  • Stick shift is low tech, and way slower. It's just more fun....sometimes

  • Stick shift brings back the joy of driving...

  • Ithaca Green is beautiful!

  • I know this is a 640, but this is how you use launch control watch?v=Sv_Ey6meR2I

  • its a 560

  • he likes it in the butt.

  • watch?v=KxeOt_pFLdE

  • The car is AWD...your not going to get tire smoke with launch control..the car has to begin to roll of start before it takes off ...the HP with the v10 would tear the gears out of it..

  • they said da new LP is smooter n more comfortable ( fuck ! lambos supposed to b aggressive like bulls , da new LP sux ! )

  • lol! after the launch, he's constantly trying to hide his fear and excitement!

  • He totally messed up that launch control, totally!!! This car rips from the start without launch control. You don't really need launch control. Either his clutch slipped or he had traction control on. This is the problem with review cars, they are driven by to many people that have no idea and clutch and other parts are worn out or damaged.

  • He didn't mess it up. That car has the E-gear transmission which handles everything, including shifting and clutch., There's no clutch to modulate, so if it had a bad launch, it was the car's fault.

  • You got a point iceman...

    As you can see, there is no tiresmoke, and you can hear that the revs are going low.

    I think that the fail, was that he didn't floor the throttle at once! He waited until he's foot was of the brake, but he should have done it while he took it of....

  • dat means da new LP fuck ?

  • Comment removed

  • k toro

  • im getting 1 in white

  • Comment removed

  • nazi

    are you 80 yrs old ?

  • Dude think´s he got the cure 4 cancer :)

  • id miss my clutch :[

  • Haha he scraped it at 0:11 lol!!!

  • lol good one

  • looks stunning in verde ithaca

  • really boring dude jus talk about the car i really don't want to see it drivin in a str8 line waste of time

  • did he fuck up? the car kinda shook and slowed a little after the initial thrust. I dunno if it's supposed to do that.

  • The car's launch control is probably not going to take off hard enough to damage its own transmission. They just took the feature off another car, I'm not sure which one, I think the GT-R, because people were taking advantage of the warranty.

  • Comment removed

  • in launch control mode the car handles all the upshifts for you, this is common among cars with launch control

  • the car shifts gears automatically?

  • yea, but you can shift them yourself too obviously

  • Wow, technology has come full circle. The old 1960's and 1970's automatic muscle cars were launched the same way, without having to remember which buttons to turn off. This seems like a waste of a cool car--how sad that Germans run this once proud Italian company!

  • The Cars under german ownership actually work now, and are the best they have ever made.

  • They aren't really a true company anymore--just another VW division.

  • Impressive, most impressive

  • lmao if i'm paying that much for a car paying for a tank of gas probably isnt going to hurt the bank account

  • i want this car!!!!

  • launch didn't sound or looked that impressive and everytime its shifts a BIG jerk. Love the car though

  • Agreed, the Superleggera launch is much more dramatic. I love this car though!

  • The fastest way to accelerate is to optimize traction. Meaning, if the rear wheels smoke even a little, it's losing traction which = loss of time. Smooth = fast

  • theres no car on the planet that doesnt do that... talking about sports cars, i mean this does it even though its AWD

  • HAHA!!!! you call that a piece of trash cause you cant afford it haha!!!! and that car aint trash

  • if your rich enough to buy it you can pay for gas.

  • You win.

  • I know you love this car too, but you cant afford it either...

  • I love the LP560 out of all the gallardos. Supperleggera is not bad too but this one is better.

    And quit putting hate on the asian driver.

    for those who hates on the asian dude, if you think you can do better why dont you go post a video of you driving that lambo? instead of sitting on ur fat ass talking crap and hating like a little girl! I swear your haters are so pathetic!

  • lol so true

  • just becuz you guys cant afford to drive a lambo

    doesnt mean u can talk shit about this azn dude

    get off ur ass and drive ur go car

  • I believe this car may have been destroyed over the weekend. The driver was killed. There aren't too many Verde Ithaca 560s stateside.

  • Really weird guy

  • haha for reall the dudes just talkin about the car like its just an average sports car.

  • i just wonder what the lp560-2 is gonna be like...

    i mean, probs faster than this

    ...but then isnt everyone just used to lambo being a awd car?

  • men hi suck if a real driver would of done it it would of looked way better

  • That was absolutley awesome!!, but the presenter seems almost bored? it kind of lessens the greatness of the Gallardo, but still AWESOME!!! :D

  • hah hah nah man i don't think he looked bored i reckon he was shitting himself! He looked terrified! Awesome car tho...

  • it looked like he was trying to be serious but the smile just kept coming to his face...i love this car :)

  • great vid - in the article in motor trend magazine they describe the procedure - it was nice to see it happen - does the application of the footbrake act like a trans brake in a drag car?

  • Purple 09 gallardo hahahaha man with cutom paint fuck off!! snap out of it! -8

  • Wow, this guy was a knob.

  • Some how that was all for you, I got no pleasure from this video. Next time make it more relevant to the viewer

  • man the black or white color on this car look so sexy its sureal

  • That lime green is just so awesome

  • brutal shifting recoil!

  • I read your comment before I saw the video and I thought you were just exaggerating but that was mega brutal shifting recoil.

  • I have a purple 09 Gallardo. I am the coolest ever!

  • haha... i didn't even launch gallardo lp560-4 in purple how come you own it ...!!!

    CEO

    Lamborghini Automobile.

  • It's called custom paint

  • 430 Scuderia all the way...

  • the 430 scuderia is faster but personally, i think this looks and sounds better.

  • is that a custom paint on the lp? becuz i thought the lp560 only came in white and black...

  • To bad the car makes lift at high speeds. Taking away from stability, It is about 50 pounds on front and 115 on rear. Though the car does look great.

  • 170mph? On a public road?

    I'm all for spirited driving, but 100+mph driving should be done on a track. ESPECIALLY when you are Motor Trend and have access to those facilities.

    There are enough 'Nick Hogan" wanna-be race drivers out there making us look bad. We don't need Motor Trend validating those stereotypes.

    Track days will not only make you a better driver, they will make you slow down on public roads. There is no place else you can responsibly unleash 560 hp!

  • The only bad part is that everyone doesn't have a race track to run their car. I say that because I wish we had one where I live.

  • This is filmed on a Lamborghini press event held in Navada. The road that he's driving on was closed to public to accommodated the media.

  • if u go from a dead stop full throtle in a 4WD car u will just cook the clutch

  • You don't know what you're talking about. The LP560-4 has launch control which is tells you he is using.

  • Launches are slower for the 4wd lambo. Those who mod up the gallardo with turbo's and want a quick start usually make the car 2wd. Either way its faster than many other cars out there.

  • Lambo = win

  • Okay so he didn't launch it that well ...

    ... but oh how I want one of these!!!

  • 1:11 sounds and looks like he caught the nose

  • 0:11*

  • very true. audi stepped lambos game up. i mean the gallardo is whats keeping lamborghini alive and that is all AUDI!

  • Seems like the launch control is horrible, It bogs big time off the line?  Can't wait for someone to buy Lambo off of Audi's hand. Can't stand all those Audi buttons inside.. and the R8 is just a cheap version of this.. SO sad...

  • Audi made Lamborghini better. That's a fact!

  • terrible launch.

    I am a fan of clutch/throttle control.

    Oh and a real mans transmission.

  • Clutch and throttle control are good for launches, but the paddle gear box is much better for track racing. You can shift gears faster than any human can. So its a matter of preference.

  • 2 comments:

    1. that was a bad start...car jumps and "restarts"

    2. this color is sooooooooooooo pimp gay....black or white only

  • "very nice, very nice"

    what a moron, damn :/

  • Looks great in green.

  • What a sound!

  • Leave the guy alone.

  • that driver is a fucking dickhead. he looks like he is Not enjoying himsel =.=

  • The guy is getting paid to drive a Gallardo.

    He's my hero.

  • Well, if u are one of the editor in Motortrend or R&T or C&D, the reason they don't seems that impress is probably because they've seen and driven enough car already. Unlike an average joe who would start to wet his pants if they see an exotic pass by

  • Does anyone know when will this car be available for tests from Top Gear and so?

  • Most likely in their new season which is filming now...

  • Well, not in this season apparently... Was it just me or this season was absolute crap?

  • Yeah, I agree, hopefully the second half will be better. They are moving from a car show to an entertainment show with some cars in it from time to time.

  • first time to see different color from the LP...

  • haha, i knew he was gonna hit 6th anyways. no one can resist that

  • probably thought the car was gonna hit 280 in 5th. wishful thinking.

  • That green looks very sick on the LP

  • He likes a kik in tha but? lol

  • the colour is kinda weird

    but the car is just awesome :X:X:x

  • Great vid! Thanks!

    Drove a regular (E-gear) Gallardo on the track yesterday btw, "pretty nice" indeed :D.

    Great guy this Edward Loh imho. He said he was going to demonstrate the launch control on this car and that's EXACTLY what he did. No more, no less. You can bet he did take off like a rocket: no wheelspin, 4WD and 560 HP.

  • I wonder how many times you can launch like that before you burn out the E-gear.I would like to try it but not in the mood to spend another 10k to replace the E-gear system.

  • That lime green is hot... only for LP lambos
