It did in the sense that the 400 cost 47k, and the murcialago cost 160k....it was pushing it through all the corners, and not losing it on the straights.

and bearing in mind the lambo was driven by a touring car driver and the evo was driven by....well.....jeremy clarkson

(sigh) Jeremy isnt a bad driver, he has spent countless hours driving that course, yes the lambo was driven by a BTCC driver, but I doubt he had time to get used to the car or the track.

It was a good comparison of the two cars....I suspect in actual life on a road the FQ would be way behind....you saw what happen when it was off-boost in the hammerhead.

I really like the evo and it think its great that a 4 door family saloon can go that quick,heck I'm going to buy an RS

oh and while I admire for making the FQ400 I think they should of approached it another way.

yeah...the FQ500 which they were originally going to build ...I think on a typical a road (not straight motorways), as long as you knew how to drive on boost, the 400 would walk a murcielago

HOST THE GOD DAMN VIDEO GOD DAMNIT. DAMNIT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BTW i'd still take the lambo, too pimp and I doubt the FQ could crack the 200MPH mark like that lambo that hits 212....



The Lambo is not a 0-60 car, its a 160++++ car....
