Getting Scared in a $2.5M Lamborghini - One Take 

That was wild-kudos to Lamborghini for making these things and even more for making them available for review.

I love watching a "normal" person drive a full-blown racecar like this. Matt, you have more track experience than an average person, but you don't race professionally. People don't really appreciate the amount of skill it takes to fully control one of these incredible machines. Not just the skill, but they are also very physical. Great video and holy shit this car sounds and looks incredible.

Give yourself some more credit Matt LMAO that thing sounds like it’s trying to kill you

The problem is that little infield is way too slow to get any real downforce working. Couple that with tires that are heavily heat cycled to death and that car is going to be a handful. Great sound though and you handled it well.

Boy Matt is not taking it easy here. As much as I'm over million dollar unobtainium, I do love seeing them spanked round a track like this.

Just imagine having a terrible car accident, all of a sudden you wake up and see the bright light and all you hear is:"And remember, alway's fight your tickets!"

I love that Lamborghini still makes cars like this

These thumbnails from the last month are really off-putting and have been making me think your videos are some of the low-end "Voice over press B-roll and other people's content" videos that RU-vid throws up some times. More power to you if it's actually increasing your clickthroughs, but I'd guess they're at least part of the reason ACGTH3 has been underperforming.

Good honest review. I think viewers appreciate seeing a mistake and even the great Matt Farah getting flustered. Gives a good appreciation for the car. Well done 🤘

Matt, did you get any more information on why the steering column is so strange? Once you got used to it, was it easier than a linear twisting steering column? It's such a weird design. I'd love to know more.

Mad props to Matt for keeping his woopsie in the video, I’m sure most RU-vidrs would’ve cut it out to protect their egos. Respect 👏

Wow, I get adrenaline just watching this! What a wild ride! Thanks for fighting this bull, Matt!

I feel like this car is a COMPLETE sensory overload! 😯 I’ll add this to my dream garage 😍

Props for keeping the Moment in, keeping it real always appreciated.

This is one of those "why does this thing exist" cars, in pretty much every aspect, but damn it looks fun lol

At first I was thinking it was totally the wrong track for the car, but ultimately I think it was probably a smart move for Lamborghini to pick such a tight (i.e., slow) track to hold a press event for a machine that is this fast and demanding of the driver. This thing is like a concept car from Gran Turismo, but in real life.

What an outstanding video Matt! A truly savage and very analog race car built by Lamborghini for customers for track use only, how cool 😎 and Matt I think you did a very good job considering and props for not cutting out your mistake and owning it. Anyone would be intimidated by that car and not having much drive time. What an experience!! 🙌🏁

You definitely need lots of training to drive this thing and some talent, too.

Could you provide some more feedback regarding the steering wheel? That adapter is interesting.

Batman looked at this and was like “na that’s too wild”

Are you kiddin me, habibi? What a great adventure and what a treat (a) for you to drive it and (b) for us to watch it. Cheers a bunch, Mr. Farah!

To drive that car that fast and still be talking to the camera is super impressive. Most of us would've had more than one oopsie without even speaking to an audience. Awesome video, what a ride!

That track is way too small for such a high performance vehicle

makes the STO and SVJ very tame

I actually got to see this testing at the track the next day! Absolutely insane, but I think it probably needs 5-6 laps just to get the tires warm. Great job keeping the car on track despite how much oversteer and understeer it has without proper grip. Idk I think they need to soften the suspension and put you on tire warmers

What track would you have preferred to drive this one on?

A rollecoaster of emotions! Exactly how a Lambo on a track should make one feel.

I wanna be so rich, someone else can keep my 2.5 million dollar car and I have to work around their schedule to drive it.

I see why they ran it on that track. Runoff

The DreamRacing circuit. They have some fun cars out there

Dang! Now that is an invite to aspire to! Don’t worry about blowing the corner. We’ve all been there in 2.5+ milly cars. It happens to us all. That steering…yoke? Is dumb.

This thing smacks of Zonda R... NA V12, carbon everything, complex cantilever suspension setup, transmission is a structural member, same crazy mental raw intensity, expensive as fuck... As soon as you showed the engine 'bay' with the suspension and coated exhaust, I was reminded of the Zonda R's Nürburgring record video. Then you started it and let it sing. Yep. Same brutal sound, too. Even the gear whine and shift clunk is reminiscent of the Pagani. Absolutely awesome car, and given the complete mismatch of a track you had to drive this beast on, you did a commendable job with the reigns. Most non-professional-racecar-driver individuals would've completely binned it after the first corner, including myself. Good on ya for leaving the 'whoopsie' moment in, too. One thing I might suggest: While I like and appreciate your 'stream-of-consciousness' type of content when you're out mobbing in the canyons in all manner of 'regular' (and not-so-regular) cars for One Takes, for this kind of car and setting, I really don't mind if you don't say much or anything at all while driving it. Then, like you mentioned here, dump your thoughts after it's over and you're back in the pits. I think for this level of automotive content, you should prioritize your focus on driving. Perhaps a compromise would be to do one full lap without trying to split your focus between the camera and the car so you can get more into the zone. Regardless, thoroughly enjoyable video. More of this type of content please! Cheers from frigid Canada :)

It’s a bonkers Italian stormtrooper spaceship. If Matt thinks it’s crazy, and he’s used to fast crazy cars, then it’s REALLY crazy

After hearing that exhaust, there's no way an electric future can be exciting. Unless we start making fake engine noises for everybody to hear. 😂

Who gives a shit? We know the car companies can build insane monsters if they don't have to meet regs for a racing series. Those forty people who bought them, whether they use it as a track toy or a sculpture, are all assholes who don't live in the same world as me. Lambo distilled

This car gives me aston Martin Vulcan vibe, seems like it would be a similar experience. Intense even just watching on youtube.

Wanna see this car completely opened up on a larger circuit

I've been up close to the 919 Evo, this somehow looks even more intimidating in the back...holy sh*t

Ah a Lamborghini of old, know what you’re doing or it’ll humiliate you.

The coolest thing is when this track-monsters get the on road legal conversion like it happened for the FXX or the track version of the P1

Bro. You did what I would expect from myself, but far better!!!

Okay that was INSANE. Now I want you to drive the Ultima RS on track and street

Wow that looked crazy just as a viewer and we had the benefit of being mounted up high in the windshield for better visibility compared to the driver. Completely nuts. Really enjoyed watching this. That steering wheel design seems weird but I guess race car.

Wow! All I can say is wow! What a beast. Thank you Lamborghini for making this happen so we can see and hear this price of history.

What an insane car! Love that this weeks vids were this insanely loud V12 and the silent Lucid. Both ends of the spectrum

You’re an amateur in a beast. It’s OK

It needs Nurburgring under the wheels.

Drive of a lifetime!

i wish alot of modern racecars were this wild. Great video Matt

That steering looks like it'd drive me nuts. It's strange.

Bet Matt wanted A cigarette after that! 😂

Just wow man! I gotta go change MY pants and I was just watching! All good on the corner. No harm no foul. Would challenge anybody to see if they could keep that on the track like you. Awesome job! Whew! I’m still sweaty like I was watchin’ COPS…

Of all the "insane" things about this car, in my mind, it's that strange steering wheel! Why would you do that?

Damn that looked intense! Great video!

You’re flying! Great driving!

Lucky sob! I bet you never thought back in the days of garage419 that you'd actually drive and experience something that special!

This car is a load of nonsense. Driving a GT3 is a MUCH more rewarding and enjoyable driving experience (around the track).

It doesn't seem like an ideal track for this car but great job Farah! Cmon Farah ;) finding that speed where you hand off from mechanical grip to aero grip would be a little hard to learn in those twistys but my guess faster would make it hunker down hard...

Las Vegas Speedway! I drove the McLaren 570S at Dream Racing. I can't imagine driving this insane machine on this track.

holy fuck lol

"I don't think anything terrible has happened. Car seems fine afterwards, but uhh my bad." 🤣🤣🤣

Would be crazy to see this on ACH lol

Matt, there is already far too much advertising on RU-vid without you stuffing a 2 MINUTE paid promotion onto the front of your clips. You have over a million subscribers so you don't need to do this. Please stop the paid promotions - I am already watching your stuff less and less in frustration and I will just stop altogether if you carry on

May Sant'Agata Bolognese be with you Matt. That thing looks hairy on the limit. Lambo's private racing programme is nuts

It’s always good to know your limits. I scrubbed some gravel my last time at COTA. I has an off day. Matt’s a nice guy; hung with him for a bit one day.

With NA engines becoming an endangered species, I won't moan too much about these crazy last hurrahs, but this thing is more expensive than a Huracan GT3 and doesn't look nearly as fun unless you can put 40 hours a week into learning how to drive this thing.

Holy shit!!! Lol I’m glad you added subtitles. What an experience 👍 glad you can share it 🙏

I've seen this particular Essenza at Lamborghini Newport Beach, and it isn't small.

1200 kgs of down force, is over *2600 lbs* of down force! How was the car simply not crushed? 😂

720s GT3X from McLaren seems a much less intimidating car to drive. A bit more user friendly then this car this car. This is wild

The sound of that is worth 2.5 million! 👍

not a big fans of the look, kind of busy , too much angle and straight line, dont how to say, the word maybe numb, , kind of numb for these kind of design, yes because its lamborghini , just like look at the car, very lamborghini looking, make it wider, make it pointier, and its track machines, so everything make it little bit extreme, but the v12 engine is the best part , thats always work, v12 !fantastic!

Awesome but stupid gimmicky and impractical steering wheel.

Matthew, if you don't miss a corner while hot lapping are you really even pushing? Way to tame that thing. That track made Paul Ricard look tight, I can see why it was the choice for media day lol.

Just sitting in my chair, I am leaning left and right around those corners, especially the woopsi curve. Awesome video

I imagine I’d actually have more fun in Clio rs than that monster. For the very talented and obviously super wealthy.

That steering wheel design isn't great for short, tight corners. This thing would probably benefit from a full round wheel on such a short track.

It is nice of you to acknowledge why Lamborghini is letting you do this, you do not know.

WTF is with that steering wheel? I am SO very confused.

Loved the video. A dedicated track car like that should have the ability to adjust the steering ratio for the track while in the pits, and perhaps this car does support that. But clearly, the ratio wasn’t setup for this specific track. That’s why you were having issues with the steering wheel at the extreme end of rotations.

When it looks dangerous and hard on camera, it is damn fcking dangerous and really hard in real life!

The average person that watches this video could have a better time doing track days in a $5K Miata and still afford to eat. Change my mind.

I could not have spoken during that…Only scream

A 911 GT3 R cost about 500K...seems like a better deal.

This was the first time I ever felt bad for Matt driving a car. That thing sounded like it wanted to eat him! Awesome soundtrack!

Love the videos! Keep it up guys.

That looked awful. I wouldn’t want to do that. For 2.3 mil less you can get a gt3rs and not have to wear a diaper.

Triple clutching not granny shifting like you should… 😂

Congrats on getting to drive it. What a piece of doodoo though. Useless piece of equipment.

The guy in the pitlane should wear earplugs instead of a facemask.

Is it $2.5M or $2.6M, I gots to know!? lol

Hi Matt, do you think this would be a good car for my wife to take her boyfriend's son to school?

That’s one boring track to watch in car footage from. Plenty of run off which is good for the drivers.

Shouldve had the lambo guys take the mufflers off. Sounds better

Insane

If I could get to that level of people giving a fuck to trust me with $3M car to whip on a track lol

Hopping curbs is how I set all my fast laps in gran turismo. Is that not good?

Looks gnarly. Translates into video very well here.

No comfort or Eco mode then? 😂

It sounds symphonic
