What It Takes To Turn A Lamborghini Into A Rally Car-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:47

There are all kind of cool bits to this car that Matt Brandenburg and crew are doing. I love that they're actually going for smaller brakes, saving huge amounts of unsprung weight and being able to clear little 15" gravel tire-ready wheels.

This car is already will be running at the Empire State Performance Rally next year, just an hour and a half from New York City. I'll be there. Will you?

The bull is naked.
