    My brother used to work near a ferrari dealer and was constantly seeing people nearly wreck them pulling into & out of the lot. One day he's at the light- sees a Ferrari next to him. Light changes, the car in front of the Ferrari starts to pull off; Ferrari guy comes off the clutch a little to fast, nearly stalls it, punches the gas and drills it right under the car in front.

    'bro described it looking just like that pic.

    My cousin worked at a motorcycle dealership, nearly identical experiences. The dealership was on a busy road and he said they would take bets when some 19-year old came in and bought a rice rocket, whether he would dump it pulling out of the parking lot. Said it happened all the time.

    I'm guessing the driver sucked more than the brakes. Plus, it's a Lambo, the guy was probalby doing 130 when he noticed an SUV stopped in front of him.... too late....

    I wonder how fast the Lambo was going? It doesn't look like the Santa Fe hit the car ahead of it (I am assuming the Santa Fe stopped behind a vehicle). Perhaps the Santa Fe has really good brakes?

    That would be my guess too, maybe he was texting or something similarly stupid! There is no way that car could possibly not have the stopping distance to beat the Hyundai. I'm wondering if it may even be totalled ... look at the damage to the rear pillars.

    The Hyundai does look sexy though! They will have to put warning stickers on those Lamborghinis in future:
    Please note: due to their extremely advanced and convenient design, the doors to the vehicle may sustain damage, or fail to function normally, in the event of an accident whereby another vehicle is caused to remain stationary on top of your vehicle. In this case, it may be necessary to exit via one of the side windows, if you can do so. We suggest that you read the "Driving Safely Tips" section very carefully (see index) in order to avoid such an incident from occuring since such damage will not be covered under the terms of the new vehicle warranty as described in your owner's manual (see index).
    Alea jacta est!

    I can't tell from the pics if it's a regular Murcielago with a body kit, or if it's an LP640.

    Looks to me, though, like the Lambo sustained minimal damage.

    Nope not mine thankfully! I don't want to be stuck in that traffic. It sure looks like the 520 bridge, but I can't tell for sure. If it was those people stuck were hating life.

    Nah, those are suppose to look like that, they are air intakes. That car isn't even close to being totaled.
