Jeremy Clarkson on fragile supercars...

"There is, however, an exception to this rule. There is one car that never gets hot, or throws a hissy fit. It's even kind to its tyres. Weirdly, it's the Lamborghini Gallardo."

well they would be far less happy to discover it themselves by overheating on the track.lol.

clarkson is great because he doesn't care and speaks the truth, where most magazines are just happy to be given a chance to drive these cars that they simply kiss their butts.

Probably why he bought one himself. Which makes me wonder why he was selling it or sold it.
I was surprised about the GT-R. Thought it would be a bulletproof car

he bought one simply because he loved it... he says he sold it because everyone was trying to race him... he also misses the car a lot, though. i actually never paid attention to the gallardos at the track because i'm not a huge fan, but after reading this, i have to say i never saw any overheating at the track. the GT3 RS is a car i did pay attention to and it was flawless on track, but that isn't surprising as that is its purpose.
