    The door release is needed if the car has flipped over. The scissor action would prevent the door from opening if it was upside down.

      The fact that its not street legal is not an excuse because I can transport it myself by hiring a truck to move it. What would happen to your car if Lmaborghini as a company went under? Or if it came under new leadership and the new leader decides you are no longer allowed to drive your own car but instead they will hire a professional race driver to race the car on your behalf while you sit on the passenger side?

      @@binarysic The thing is, it's not really about whatever is in front of the leaflet. It's about Doug fabricating a reason that simply isn't correct. Most likely someone said it helped with transportation, and Doug assumed without further question that this must be the main reason for that feature.
      And this is just an annoying trend that he has shown lately, where he will go out of his way to mention features and then list things that are literally wrong/lacking a ton of context. It kinda defeats the purpose of basing a channel on "quirks and features", when he then misinforms about half of them. Same goes with "these vents are to feed air to the engine", when in fact most of them are just for cooling, not to feed the engine.
      He kinda comes off as someone who is in the middle ground between car salesman, and car enthusiast. He likes all the quirks and funky details and stories, but he presents most of them like a car salesman presents a car: aka, by telling half stories and making up the rest on the fly. All in all it just lowers his credibility, because you can no longer trust that what he says about a specific feature is actually correct.

Most notably F1 cars have a similar button marked with the E within a circle, it is not in the cockpit but near the right sidepod so track marshals can easily reach the button and disable the car after a crash.

      @@AP13P no he didn’t, in the beginning they kept the car and offered track days. Ferrari was the first to keep their car and only allowed you to use it when they were there as well. After a number of years Ferrari decided it was to costly and had more faith with the design of the car. So eventually Lamborghini did the same.

      Research and development, tons of custom parts with high cost due to low volume of production, other overheads due to this being some kind of a racing program etc etc, I don't think you realize how quickly the costs add up. Sure, there is probably some margin for profit, but it's nowhere near as 2-3 million per car.
