Watch a 2,000-horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo crash into a lake at full speed
However capable the V-10 Lamborghini Gallardo is as a supercar, we’re willing to bet it can’t be used as a boat. In this insane video, one unlucky driver finds out the hard way that it may not be the best idea to host a full speed run next to standing water.

We learned last week that the Lamborghini Gallardo’s replacement, the Huracan, can do well over 200-mph before crashing, so how would a 2,000-horsepower Gallardo fare on a top speed run in Florida?
As it turns out, things got equally crashy, but this time water was involved. Captured on video for the world to see, the 2,000-horsepower custom Italian supercar makes a top speed run on an airstrip next to a small pond.
The driver loses control about half way down the 1/2-mile stretch, and veers off to the right into a small standing pond. As a result of having almost 4 times as much power as stock and almost zero extra down force, the car likely lost traction somewhere above 100-mph. Just goes to show that even in a supercar, all-wheel-drive is useless unless you know how to use it.
