Default What's faster: Lamborghini Gallardo or a golf ball?

Stunt marketing time! To help celebrate the debut of its new Diablo Octane Driver, Callaway pressed Stuart Appleby into service against a shiny 550-hp Lamborghini Gallardo. The challenge: Could Appleby's Octane-enhanced drive outdistance the Lamborghini over 275 yards? Let's find out...

Callaway and Lamborghini developed the Forged Composite used in the club's crown. Both car and club are on sale right now, though one is slightly cheaper than the other. Slightly.

Lambo should've started at a Standstill instead of Rolling. Interesting video nonetheless.

from standstil, the lambo would lose by some distance to the golfer because of reaction time and wheel spins.

Does the Gallardo get wheelspin with the AWD?

Never thought about it, (for good reason).

Thing is, is that the golf ball leaves the club at full speed while a car needs to accelerate up to speed. But no matter how you conduct this comparison, it's just silly anyway. It proves nothing.
