- The heavily modified supercar came within inches of slamming into a wall.
- Spectators who witnessed the close call cheered as the driver pulled off the remarkable save.
- While it’s unclear how many horses the Huracan had, these tuned models often push 1,500 hp or more.
The driver of a twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Huracan has pulled off a stunning save at a rolling drag race event in Australia, narrowly avoiding a wall that would have destroyed the Italian exotic.
The close call happened last week at Sydney Motorsport Park while the Huracan lined up against a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII for a run down the circuit’s long straight. Footage shows that not long after the driver of the Lamborghini pinned the throttle, the car started to lose traction and initially speared towards the concrete wall.

However, with cat-like reflexes, the driver was able to jump on the brakes and countersteer to the left, avoiding disaster. The Huracan then spins around and its front fascia comes within inches of slamming into the wall. The driver then looks to have complete control of the car but before long, the Huracan swerves back to the right before its tail kicks out. Once again, it missed the wall, but only just.
Immediately after the close call, spectators at the event can be heard loudly cheering at the save. Footage of the crash has gone viral across social media in Australia.
This wouldn’t have been the first Lamborghini Huracan wrecked during a rolling drag race event at Sydney Motorsport Park. In October 2022, another white Huracan that had been twin-turbocharged and was pushing out 2,000 hp, crashed at a similar event. Fortunately, the driver of this Lambo was able to avoid a similar crash. They also had plenty of luck on their side to avoid slamming into the barrier.
It’s unclear how much power this Huracan is pumping out, but it could easily have over 1,500 hp. While the car is all-wheel drive, putting that much power to the ground is never easy, even with sticky drag radial tires.
