R8 Audi R8 GT wrecked

[Guibo]

It was bound to happen.



"A driver has got on the A9 with Ingolstadt in the skidding and banged with his brand new Audi R8 several times into the guardrails on the left and to the right of the highway. Then the car rose in flames.
The 63-year-old driver was on Tuesday on the way to Audi in Ingolstadt. According to the police he had apparently gone at very much high speed in the direction of Munich. The sports-car to the value of 200,000 euros got in the skidding and banged afterwards several times into the guardrails on the left and to the right of the highway, before he remained lying totally damaged on the right lane.
The driver could get out absolutely uninjured, however, barely he had left the car, the wreck caught fire. Because of the fire-fighting work and the recovery it came for considerable impediments and about five kilometers of traffic jam."

Moved to Garbage Bin since this is where we usually have the news & pictures of wrecked cars.

Where was Mr. Quattro in this instance?

The car is has been reduced to ashes. An accident like this one should serve as a wake-up call to those who downplay the dangers of a collision comforting themselves in air bags. When a car is set alight by the petrol it carries, air bags are of no help.

For me it is funny. Not in the way some might think. I am talking about "blah blah blah AWD...", and at the end, the end is the same for all, whether FWD, RWD or AWD.
