Did you guys notice how close he came to hitting that pole when he first drove into the track at about 1:10?? Crap. My heart almost stopped.

The Lambo looked so lumbering in front of it. WOW!

Insane car. But shouldn't you refrain from revving it all the way up for the first 5k km or something like that?

Driving that car looks akin to playing a video game.

Nice video indeed.
I have to say it was pretty cold in Monza in these last weeks.
The temperature was often under 0° C and never above 7° C, therefore I'm impressed by the roadholding in those conditions.
It seems tyres work pretty well and the car seems really easy to drive (even if the guy is not pushing too much).

It seems this car is positively a scalpel compared to the larger, heavier, 4wd Murcie. I am sure it is going to be a track day menace.
