Can't see the pics, but it reminds me that one of the dentists in our office park has a RS6 he dropped off at the dealer to have the tires balanced and they had someone that works there just take it to a local tire place - On the way the guy wraps the RS6 around a telephone pole- bent it at the B-pillar. The guys insurance company took the hit and fixed the car- the Audi dealer got off scott free. The guy didn't even want the car back, but his insurance company gave him no choice

the pics again
"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!"

That crash is unbelievable.. Can't say I've ever seen anything like that.
Furthermore the driver is obviously one lucky individual!

Horrible RS6 Crash
What you see in the 1st pic is not 2 cars, but one... The Audi ABT RS6;
Somewhere in Luxemburg, driver drove at 170 km/h and said the road was dry, but the feeling was like he was on ice, lost control and hit the tree... Few minor injuries and went home. You can buy what's left of the car at eBay

Holly crap
This is one extremely lucky man. It just shows people even with 4WD, fat tyres and the latest traction and electronic controls, you can still have a serious crash.

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles
headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the
Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th
century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded
by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW
and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932.
The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto
Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
