Lamborghini Test Car Crashes right in front of our Teamspeed Spies!

Aventador Crashes Into Snow-Bank During Testing, No Injuries all around - Only Bruised Ego

This is not the typical set of spy photos we normally bring to you but our spy snapper happened to be right at the scene of the incident. The car in our photos is a Lamborghini Aventador on a test run in the Arctic circle. Even though the car has already launched, manufacturers often continue testing and fine tuning the car early on in the product life cycle.

As the car approached the intersection, at a speed that appeared faster than the posted speed limit, the driver lost control, skidded through the intersection and crashed into a large snow bank.

If that wasn't enough, the driver then leaped out of the car (nearly falling down in the process), and came at our photographer in a fairly aggressive manner.

By the time an Audi A6 all-road (equipped with a winch) came to pull the raging bull out of the snow, things had calmed down. The driver scooped the snow out of the car, gave us a large smile and a big thumbs up, then headed back to work. Not exactly the finger we were expecting to see!

Fortunately, both driver and car, emerged from the mishap totally unharmed.

^ same here. It's stupid, the driver shouldn't have exceeded the speed limit and wouldn't have crashed.

if he isn't driving at the limits, then he's not testing the car which is the sole reason he is out there.

He might have seen the photographer while driving, and that moment of "hey, who is that person with the camera" was all it took to miss something, and bam. It's not the photographers fault, but it might have made the guy a little angry.
