Lamborghini Murcielago street races Ford GT

The two titans of super car power, Lamborghini Murcielago and the Ford GT battle it out on this interstate in a "wangan" style high speed race. Starting out at a 40-60 mph roll, the two sports cars rip into the throttle launching up to 160 mph almost instantly. Swerving in and out of traffic, speeding up and slowing down, these two manage to successfully street race their expensive exotics down the road.

The Lamborghini hangs on to the Ford GT for a little while, but eventually the larger displacement and rich racing heritage of the Ford GT shines true leading it to victory. The Ford GT has always been known as the American car that victors over imports. Originally racing the circuits in the 1960's, the Ford GT back then just as now schooled the world on how a sports car should perform! Let's check out the specifications before enjoying the video.

    The larger displacement and the rich racing heritage of the Ford GT brought it to victory? The GT has a 5.4 liter V8, the Murcielago has a 6.2 liter V12. As for racing heritage, Lamborghini's got plenty to spare. The result of this race was determined by the fact that the Ford GT isn't naturally aspirated and was modified to make up for the difference in horsepower and, due to its significantly lesser weight, overcame the big and burly Lambo.
