Supercars are priced far out the reach of the average consumer. But in recent years, various businesses have emerged that enable customers to sample these fast, powerful machines, if only for a few laps or hours.
In some cases, customers can take relatively sedate drives on private roads. In others, professional driving instructors on closed tracks will assist customers in managing the unique demands of high-performance cars. The Lamborghini reportedly involved in the tragic crash was capable of hitting a top speed of approximately 200 mph.
No reason was given for the Orlando crash - other than that the driver lost control - but AP reported that the crash would be investigated.
