A lot of manufacturers do that. VW and Audi are pretty well-known to undersell the 0-60 times on their cars. Considering that Lamborghini is owned by the VW Group, I guess it makes sense that Lambo might be underselling as well.

As far as why they may undersell the performance, I personally think it gives a more realistic figure to work with. Sure, a professional driver, on a prepped surface, with multiple attempts, may be able to squeeze off a perfect launch and achieve the best 0-60 time. But, the reality is, in the hands of most owners, on real streets (closed course of course :wink:), most are not going to achieve the best figures that you see. Launch control certainly helps, but the surface you're dealing with will still be a huge deciding factor. If you are dealing with a stick shift car, then it's even more of a gamble.
