[fullyhyperlite]

Just makes you think doesn't it. I was like "Wtf????" when i saw the photos.

Audi RS6...

5.2 Litre V10...Twin Turbo...426 Kilowatts

44 kilowatts more than a Lamborghini Gallardo.....

One of the worlds Safest Cars.

Unbelievable!!!!

Any thoughts?/Anyone seen it?

Just thought i'd share

Cheers.

i hope to god he didnt have passenger. either way he is one lucky mofO!!!!!1

OMFG!! I hope there was no passenger!!

i must say it has to be safe if you can crash like that and walk away....

My thoughts? Just desserts for driving like a wanker. That sort of chassis separation happens at much faster than any speed limit. He was probably driving on a freeway in europe that doesn't have a speed limit.

If i was him i wouldn't be buying a lotto ticket, he just used ALL his luck in that crash.

[Damo_R34]

What you see is what you get, i.e. there was no cutting of the vehicle prior to the pictures being taken.

It is my brother-in-law that you see holding the mobile phone, he honestly doesn't know the speed that he was going at but wasn't near as fast as he has done in the past on that particular part of the road.Although the road was completely dry he said that it felt he was on ice and the car just careened into the tree. He actually called the emergency services and climbed out of the car by himself, he spent only a couple of hours in hospital, apart from a few minor scratches he got a bandage around his little finger, I told him if he's not already religious he should take it up ASAP!

The car WAS a pristine RS6 ABT, I was supposed to pick it up that very day to borrow it from him for a week as I've always wanted to try out the ABT version. He really should have simply told me that he didn't want me to drive his car I'm so happy he is alive and all in one piece.

Shot-gun front half cut!! Wouldn't mind dropping that massive beast engine in the 34 lol.

Hmmm, roofing peeled away from pillars. No damage whatsoever to the rims. Looks to me like a poorly made chassis.

Normally the car "wraps" around the tree, or bends considerably before being ripped in half. There is no real visible "twist" in the chassis ... it just broke apart!
