Lambretta Verses Ferrari F40 drag race

[djleesamuel]

I've seen that Lammy beat a Fireblade on a sprint....but the Fireblade caught him on the last 75 metres......that Lammy can seriously move!

[exilemike]

Fake,the F40 slowed down to let the Lambretta win.Let him come to the states and race some people I run with.He will get spanked hard.

I used to ride Lambrettas, they are great its really cool that he`s got it going so fast. But lets be realistic, it is BLOODY silly to say its a superbike beater though. It`s best ever time is a 13.5 sec 1/4 mile, most litre superbikes run low 10`s, ie an R1 will do it in 10.3, consistently, straight out of the box in roadgoing trim with no mods. Even mid sized commuter bikes will do a quicker 1/4 mile.

That's very true for today's modern sports bikes, I have a GSXR 600 which does sub 12 second runs, tongue and cheek spring to mind :)

[ifantwentythree]

I know what a tuned 2 stroke is capable of and this is most likely not rigged at all. Lambrettas can move, and they held world speed records for years

[420gdub]

wow that race was def rigged. u see the ferrari catch up and then all of a sudden the scooter get the fast and the furious nitrous gear and wins lol fake

[zakdamod]

[m0ogy]

I own Superbikes and also a roadgoing Charlie Edmonds race tuned Read Valve 186 Lambretta GP and this leaves Scoobys at lights.........You should see there faces........it realy angers them........Lambretta the best shopping bike ever!!

[monzav8]

Its all about the weight ;)

[redrock1965]

i think the lambretta was toying with the ferrari,just goes to show that big powerful engines are not the be al end all ,,,it's the way you ride them ,i know with my lambretta not many so called bikers would be able to ride my lambretta ,but i could ride most bikes ,,no problem !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rapidtightgroup]

PMSL.sure its fast but a superbike beater?me thinks not,keep dreaming mate

[redrock1965]

they have bought out an even faster scooter in italy ,,the new kits they are putting on them now are so fast ,infact they leave a lot of the bikes standing on the track in italy ,,sorry to disappoint you !!

[chucksterrr]

@redrock1965 the f40 has a pretty small engine given the performance it can deliver

[Pininfarina777]

How was the camera man keeping up with them on that lateral veiw? In a jet? ...If you actually think they were neck and neck at full throttle, get your head checked... The F40 was TOYING w/the bike.

[edenffs]

As I was there when this was filmed I know the real storey.

The lateral view was done at slow speed because the camera car was a people carrier and obviously would not have kept up with either the scooter or the ferrari.

the views that tell the real story are the ones from behind, you will see that the scooter leaves the car well behind over the first 1/8 but although the cars top speed is higher than the scooter it could not catch and over take the scooter before the 1/4 miles finish line.

[tpvalley]

@edenffs

The ferarri is no doubt geared for top speed so 1st is probably like 2nd, u find on competition car gearboxes thats often the case.

[chucksterrr]

=))))) it`s all i can say

[cogordoo]

fake race

[shambolene]

Right at the end 4.32 they set off by 4.34 the ferrari is passed! clear as day! More importantly what car was the camera doimd the side shots in?As that seemed to be keeping up with both of them in! (also at 3.42 why was he changing down gear when he was still in a race in a straight line?)

[Sullysoulboy]

"The car's not built to do that"! It's a fucking Ferrari, what is it built for then? The Lambretta was built for Italian ladies to go shopping on, and it still blew the doors off the Ferrari!!

[tonym650]

Good yarn, and can well believe it. lol

[jonnieboz]

pk with a zirri 135 kit can over 100mph

[RyanliciousGTI]

never ever, but im courious to see

[GS160Mk2]

No it cant, no fucking way. Falc..maybe. Zirri, no chance.

[AddersZXR4]

lol the ferrari slowed down it was pretty clear lol. fast ped

[paolov73]

Very funny. Never seen something like this before but I'm sure people saw the Ferrari brake to let the bike win.??

[snowdon20]

yeah looks like the Ferrari slowed down

[Czechmate1967]

Looks like the Ferrari missed a gear change.

[badal1965]

Lambretta still the worlds finest scooter!
