| Re: Brand new Audi S8 in a crash Well, the little alarm inside the car when the door is open is still working It seems that the car automatically shuts off the engine or did the person shut it off? I would assume that Audi has a system just like BMW in which gas, in a severe crash, stops going from the gas tanks to the engine? Meaning, I think there is a cut in the fuel line? What a monster. What was this guy doing? The S8 is a Quattro, what did he do? Dry on top of a patch of ice while cornering at top speed? Is this a civilian model or an Audi test bed model?

| Re: Brand new Audi S8 in a crash It looks like he took the S8 on a track, but it seems to be his own car. The guy taking the video is bordering on being hysterical, IMO.

| Re: Brand new Audi S8 in a crash "thats my ride" was....was  lol bad luck for the guy, the S8 is my dream car its absolutelky amazing inside and out. Good to see him taking it with good humour, or thats how he appears on the outside. Maybe hes still in shock? Bet he will be kicking himself when he gets home though.
