Lamborghini Reventon speed record 356 km/h (222 mph)

OBI_agent · 04-16-2009, 09:23 PM

Damn....but kind of look like it's fake

......someone commented on the streetlights moving really slow.....kind of makes sense.

Anyway, If this guy can own a $1.4mil car then I'm sure he can get away with that outrageous speed too.

I dunno... something tells me its not fake.

Then again, wouldn't Lambo have made the top speed public prior to its release?

lib · 04-16-2009, 10:38 PM

Eh, maybe.

Look at the perspective when he passes under the exit sign and the bridge. If those lights are as tall as they seem then you might as well say all planes travel slow because the ground looks like it's barely moving.

I call

The "speed" of the lightposts don't seem to change at all

adrian1480 · 04-17-2009, 12:33 AM

dunno how you fake that. but I agree that the speed of passing street light poles does not increase appropriately. we should have seen a 60%-80% increase in the number of street lights passed/second. we do not.

but I don't know how you fake that.

d3l0n · 04-17-2009, 01:11 AM

street lights could be very far away from each other? lol
i dont wanna say fake

jhv · 04-17-2009, 01:31 AM

how / why would they fake it though? i say its legit

lucky bastard..who cares if its fake speed,when car is original and in his garage!

M2002 · 04-17-2009, 09:39 AM

Guys this video is not fake, i live in dubai and on certain highways the street lamps are high and spaced quite far from each other. You could easily be doing 220kmh(160mph) nd it would seem ur only going 130kmh(80mph).

OBI_agent I think the guy is on Al-Khail road, what do u think?

lib · 04-17-2009, 09:48 AM

^ I'm with you on the height of the street lamps.

Though, the youtube comment claims it was filmed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

footie · 04-17-2009, 10:57 AM

It doesn't look fake to me, the lights are definitely set a lot higher than we have in Europe and that would make a world of difference to how the actual speed was. Plus on reflection when you view the lights at about 250km/h and then again at about 350km/h you can see a difference.

I honestly can't understand why someone who owns a Lamborghini that in the normal LP640 form is capable of 212mph would want or need the fake it.

vAnt826 · 04-17-2009, 11:02 AM

Not fake at all. The lights do get faster.

+1 if you actually time the period you can see a big increase

and the LP640 has hit 219mph before

FStop7 · 04-17-2009, 12:52 PM

Faaaaake. C&D couldn't get the LP640 to break 200mph even after removing the side mirrors and taping the gaps between body panels

fourtailpipes · 04-17-2009, 01:23 PM

i dont think the video's a fake... i also dont think the light poles are evenly spaced... in periods of time when his speed increases slowly, the frequency of light poles varies wildly.

there's also no way that the speedo is truly accurate at that speed. i'm sure it's in the right realm, but it's probably accurate to something like 10-15kph at best. GPS would be much more accurate.

Salam dude.....lol....that road does look like Al-Khail Road but it aint. I understand why you thought that because if you see closely, most of the roads in Gulf countries match each other

......the design language is too similar.
