Dangerous sports cars

“Otherwise the racers would all be nose pickers”

They are beautiful, they are fast - and often too fast for their drivers. Last week, drivers in Upper Austria scrapped two Lamborghinis. ÖAMTC instructor Daniel Fessl explains why such sports cars are dangerous for "normal people". And he has a good tip that all fans of Ferrari, Lambo & Co. should take to heart.

Anyone who likes "Lambo" had to suffer last week. On Friday, a driver wrecked his Lamborghini in Bad Ischl. He hit a crash barrier on a wet road. The car was badly damaged.

On Saturday, the next "Lambo" was hit: a 51-year-old from Pucking accelerated too hard on the exit of a left-hand bend in Schleißheim, causing the car to drift. The speedster hit a guard rail on the left and crashed into a tree after flying around 45 meters. The driver and his co-driver (50) were taken to hospital, while the iconic speedster went to car heaven.

A Mercedes AMG was also involved
A man from Wels (21) also caused a stir when he wrecked a borrowed 476 hp Mercedes C63 AMG out of sheer recklessness. But why are there always such spectacular accidents involving sports cars?
