Are Lamborghini Aventadors held by superglue??

damn it sure looks like it. being all carbon fiber I'm sure any little crash will shatter the chassis. Although the cockpit should be very strong. Hope the driver survived.

That car should did break apart after a minor wreck.
Crumpling and disintegrating are two different things.
Maybe cuz it's monday, but, it looked like it clipped the tree as well.
Ass end caught the tree...man that sucks
They are held together with glue, just like any other vehicle with a composite monocoque type structure. They had a show showing how they are made on one of the Discovery channels a couple weeks ago. They even showed how they repair damage to the monocoque, really interesting television there.
Does look like it hit the tree after the initial impact..
WTF was that driver thinking.. making a left when clearly there's a speeding car coming..
They are suppose to seperate like that at impact, its a safety feature. All I know is they were both at fault, but that guy can say good bye to 400k. Come to think of it, thats like the bank coming to take your house, oh the agony.
Yeah I saw the same episode lol. But rivets and glue make for a 350k buck super car. But it kinds did what it was supposed to. Instead of keeping all that energy contained and collapsing the cabin it split. Car is done and would make some nice furniture but the driver lived....hopefully.
This. The car did exactly what it was engineered to do. The aft section of the car breaks away from the safety cell in the front, dissociating forces to keep them away from the driver.
It's no different from seeing F1 cars purposely break apart during a crash.
In insurance speak, this crash likely has some comparable negligence to deal with. The driver that hit the Aventador did not yield right of way. however the Aventador appears to be traveling at a high rate of speed which may have contributed to creating the crash in the first place.
Even if the insurance companies ruled 50% liability on both ends, that really sucks for the driver of the mazda. Most people don't carry around liability policies large enough to take car of even half that car.
It's not the same show as what you (and I) saw, which is the "How It's Made" series, but here's a similar one from NatGeo:

Really people look at how formula one designs are they break away at the middle and the cockpit is the only thing that's standing looks like that lambo did what it was supposed to do still looks like he was going pretty good speeds.

Not sure if it matters. The vipers front end is held by some type of glue. Mainly the fenders. Part of the reason why they are totaled for minor front end damage. Part of design.
so, can we start bidding on the motor?
