OK, I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on tv.... charges that can be a misdemeanor or a felony are called "wobblers".. not hybrids.
Lambos are really fragile when it comes to accidents. I have seen a flat tire cause an incredible amount of damage to one. It doesn't take much of an impact to put cracks in parts that cost an absurd amount of money to replace.
I agree with the statements that the rental company should have their own insurance to cover under or uninsured rentals. It is not rare that people do dumb stuff in rentals.
Traction control doesn't prevent everything and does help control a car; however, high horsepower cars can create issues for a traction control system due to how quickly things can happen in a short amount of time (especially at high speeds/racing, etc). Electronic Stability Control is supposed to help with this but user input can mess that up.
If they shut off the driver aids (they automatically revert to being on whenever you shut off the vehicle) then they were definitely playing with fire.
