Lamborghini Hits 219 MPH On Phoenix Freeway
    #7692965 - 11/28/07 10:15 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

PHOENIX -- A Lamborghini Murcielago seen in a YouTube video allegedly going 219 mph on the Red Mountain Freeway in east Mesa is owned by a former Phoenix dentist.

Arizona Department of Public Safety called the incident an "extreme violation of the posted speed 65 mph speed limit" and said it has opened a criminal investigation.

The video, which has been yanked from site, showed the vehicle attempting to break the car’s previous top speed – 171 mph – on a freeway traveled by hundreds of thousands of motorists every day.

"To do it in the middle of the city at 220 mile an hour -- that's crazy in my opinion," said Brian Kern, a Phoenix resident.


The driver’s face is never seen in the video. But he describes how he could have gone faster if there hadn’t been other cars in the way.

“I travel this very stretch of freeway daily and many times late at night just at the times this clown is racing and what if it was me that he didn’t see?” said a KPHO-TV viewer E-mail. “I don’t really want to die.”

Near the end of the clip, the man challenges someone to top his record, a statement that produces chills for one Phoenix motorist.

“I take my son to day care and we have to drive over that way," said Kimberly Green.

CBS 5 News tried tracking down the Lamborghini owner at his Phoenix mountain home without any luck. E-mails and phone calls went unanswered.

CBS 5 did locate one the people associated with the video --an Arizona State University student named Aaron, who didn't give his last name. He also refused to talk about the video.

After letting him know the incident was under investigation, the video disappeared from YouTube.

Pretty crazy. That reminds me a a film that was made showing someone pulling a similar stunt.


C'était un rendez-vous is a short film made in 1976 by Claude Lelouch, showing a nine-minute drive through Paris at 5:30 AM.

Despite (or due to) the limited availability of video tapes, it gained cult status over the years among motoring enthusiasts who admired the experience of speed and the reckless style of driving.

Due to the increasing popularity and the lack of original tapes, the film has recently been re-mastered from the 35 mm negative and released on DVD, as well as being published on the Internet.

This example of a cinéma vérité film was made in a single take with no editing, using a camera attached to the bumper of a car. The length of the film thus was limited by the capacity of the camera reel which lasted under 10 minutes.

If you follow the link there is the news clip, apparently the original you tube video has been removed.

He deserves to get caught if he was dumb enough to allow the vid on youtube. That being said, fuck the 55mph limit and the nanny state called USA, we should embrace the autobahn

people will just never learn to not put their faces on video doing something illegal..

looks like they were as safe as possible.. late at night, very little traffic, two people in the car plus people ahead... but, still illegal and likely to get charged with something now that it's made the news.

dumb, dumb, dumb.

yos-

I would do it everyday if I had a Lamborghini. Just get a bunch of lawyers and tell the pigs and the rest of you to fuck off...
