Who would have thought that a modern day's supercar like the Lamborghini Gallardo can easily start spinning even in moderate speeds when the ESP is switched off, given the sophisticated suspension setup, the high-performance tyres and all the testing it has gone under.
In the above video, Steve Sutcliff attempts to steer violently a Gallardo, while traveling at a speed of 70 mph, simulating a rapid lane change, with and without the ESP turned on. The difference is, well, huge, as without the ESP a Gallardo travelling with a normal freeway speed, would end up out of the road with a massive spin. Things are quite different with the electronic nannies on, as the car corrects itself by individually braking whatever wheel it finds necessary.
It's quite an interesting video that we suggest you don't miss. Then you can discuss the various Gallardo road tests with us, in our dedicated forum thread (link).
