Unfortunately most of the video is focused on the speedometer which reaches 336 km/h and the video's a bit anticlimactic, but it still shows raw speed and an incredibly stupid driver...

"The first Lamborghini Huracan crash happened in Hungary last September. Now there's video showing how it went down, recorded by the passenger with a mobile phone and released by the police.

In short, the guy was doing 208+ miles per hour on public roads. On the M7 highway, to be exact. The 36-year-old driver and his lime green Huracan wearing Czech plates first climbed way above 200, then hit the guardrail on the inside, only to bounce off to the other, tearing it apart before ending up in the ditch.

Luckily, the driver not only survived, but then also managed to pull out his passenger from the wreck before the car turned into a fireball and melted to the ground.

Since his passenger suffered serious injuries, the driver is now facing reckless driving and endangerment charges but is not in custody yet."

As for the Lamborghini, well, it didn't fare as well...incidentally, this model starts at $238,000 USD.
