Funny take -
Well on St. Patrick's day in uptown Charlotte just outside the crowded area there was an Aston Martin that passed me whike driving around 45 mph in a speed that made me feel I was not moving!! At least 90 mph and for at least a mile or more and probably passed 100 mph because he was gone in a few seconds !!

Must be connected or ?

[Jay-K]

this is pure awesomeness.

I very much doubt they were obeying the speed limit...In addition...if there is slow moving traffic at 10mph Im willing to put my neck out and say that even going at 30 mpg is not appropriate in those conditions...

The traffic on a typical night in Knightbridge rarely reaches 30 mph..

Dont get me wrong...I am no saint when it comes to driving, however I drive fast where in my mind as a driver, it is safe to do so...Looking at that video............

If you drive an M6 it must be broken if you think they were within the speed limit mate.

Bit of a narrow minded response there yungdro... I'm all for speed but right place, right time. Not really for a busy pedestrianised city street... Clearly that was more than 30mph, so not sure where your 'to the SPEED LIMIT' comes from...?
Nice sounds tho!

Let's for the sake of argument say that they drove within the speed limits. Do you think it's safe to accelerate hard up to the speed limit while approaching a cross walk or intersection? Do you drive at 30MPH all the time, everywhere, while driving around in a busy city centre? Don't you slow down approaching congested areas, pedestrians etc?

And, they clearly didn't obey the speed limit... Why do you think that the speedo is blurred in one of the shots?

That aside. Great sounds and that shift crack at 0:16 reminded me of a 2013 F1 engine during shifts

[boots]

I bet who ever was behind the wheels had fun upshifting and letting folks hear the bangs.

Fuds

Personally I like the sound, just not where they drove to make it, thats all.

I just dont think it was dangerous at all compared to what ive seen with other cars in knightsbridge. Worst one i saw was a GTR drifiting and nearly losing control.

Im not here to argue or anything was just saying what I thought lol but yes the exhaust is insane

I used to do this kind of shit when I was 19 or 20. To be honest mate most of the folk on the street will probably think your all a bunch of complete fannies as they probably don't get the car/noise thing

[boots]

Too bad about the innocent cars. Put them out for no reason. Now they have a claim loss their for awhile and value. Lambo took flight. Guess he thought he had wings

How can you class the Lambo driver an idiot and dangerous driving while the M5 isn't

The Lambo doesn't have a lot of speed, certainly no more than the M5 does in similarly congested areas. The only real difference is that the Lambo crashes with a car that doesn't obey the traffic code (he has to yield to the traffic, but decides to drive out in front of the Lambo. Misjudging the Lambo's speed probably. The same could easily have happened in several places the M5 drives fast as well...

BTW, it seems the Lambo manages to come to a complete stop in a distance of around 20-30m after the impact (judging distance by using the length of the parked cars). In a full on emergency brake situation that distance equates to around 50-60km/h speed at the point of impact (assuming full emergency braking from the moment of impact).

The only real difference between the two videos as far as I can see is that the Lambo has someone pull out in front of him, and the M5's don't...

AGREED.

I was not going to comment further on this BUT I will.
My Nephew was 20 years old and was out for the night in London with his mates, it was about 9 pm and he stepped out between two cars in the west end, the car that killed him was doing about 70 MPH (make withheld) in a 30 Zone.
The car failed to stop and was chased and stopped further down the road.
It turns out the driver was an off duty policeman Pissed.

End of sad story.
Thats why speeding in those areas to me is F**king madness.

Uhm, no. But exceeding the posted limit is SPEEDING and you expressly stated that they were not speeding. Look at the speedo closely in the video: he routinely exceeds 60 and often comes close to 80. So, based on your definition of speeding - 90mph - I guess he was not speeding.

Besides having the reaction time of a senior citizen, the chevy or whatever that POS is is the true moron and turned into the aventador's lane.

Both people are pathetic, but can't say the aventador did anything wrong besides not driving defensively.
