There's no question its a mock-up. Opened it in Photoshop and enlarged it. Not even terribly well done at that. Patchy pixels all around the cars and a poor road surface restoration job. Also the little car appears to have brakes applied (left brake light is on), and judging by the lean to the left, suspension has come to grief. Broken ball-joints maybe??

To all you naysayers here. That pic is probably not a Photoshopped pic. It would simply be a Lambo driver whose going under the speed limit (Is that so hard to beleive!?). We've all experienced it! Car in front is going slow, we being impatient want to pass it! and there is no rule that we cant pass supercars is there! I don't find it so surprising.
Also, Lamborghini Dablo VT is around 3100mm wide, and that early model was never ridiculusly low to the ground, the guy over the road from me had one and I was surprised at its proportions. The little car is an old heap, probably with crap suspension that leans as soon as its out of its comfort zone of straight ahead, and that why it leans so. And as for the Brake light somone mentioned. Its the blinker!! Have a closer look. Its out of the ordinary yes, but it doen't mean that its a photoshop for crissakes! |

Yeah youre right its a blinker. But its pretty sus in the digital department as I say. Sure it could be so. My mate lawyer had a 924 and drove it 3 kms a day to work & back. But he hated country road driving so flew interstate etc. Fastest that 924 went was about 80kph I reckon. Car was just a pure pose.

Like I said, the Lambo's slowing down so it doesn't lose its bum on the level crossing - for the Trabant it probably doesn't matter. The joke is not just that its a small car overtaking, but its a Trabant. Be assured the Lambo will scorch him on the other side of the crossing. For a great shot of a communist era Skoda bumming it over a level crossing see the 1997 Oscar winning Czech film 'Kolya'. You have to have been there to appreciate these things.

Damn. And you think there was a photo taken when my little Honda overtook a Ferrari 550 on a racetrack?

Unless you state what the "blue car" is, that comment has no weight, for reference its a Skoda! Can't it just be a point of amusement rather than something to be torn apart and castigated by the masses? Take it at face value and laugh! Thanks RR, its a beauty!

This is quite amusing. Why is it that you all seem to assume that because it is a lambo it will be going fast?
FFS, there are a zillion reasons why this is bappening. Maybe that lambo driver is looking at some scenerty outside and just being a tourist. Maybe there is a pothole in front of him. Maybe he is just flopping along having a good time. Maybe the buzzbox owner is actually a fruitloop forum junky on hols in europe and is in the most expensive rent'a'scud he could afford, sees a lambo parked on the road while the owner is on a mobile phone and gets his dropkick mate to photograph him doing some dukes of hazzard routine so they both have something to troll the internet later and wind up all the gullible forum "experts"....... Oh and the moon landing never happened, it was filmed in a studio backlot on Mars..... |

I overtook a very original looking old red Lambo Countach a few weeks ago, no spoiler or body kit, driven by a middle-aged Asian guy. It was so low I reckon I couldn't see any of it from the driver's seat properly without looking over. From quarter angles it looked like a smashed up truck. Bizarre looking thing.

I actually thought it might be. I usually try to see if things like that are a kit or the real thing. I saw a Pontiac Fiero converted to a Ferrari in South Melbourne once.
