crazy

How could that thin piece of metal barrier went straight thru the firewall of the car? Or there isn't a firewall anymore since the engine is in the back? Still that area should be one of the toughest part of the car in order to protect the people inside....

Notice how the speedo is stuck...they weren't going that fast...

see this is exactally what pisses me off, the way people think they xxx features means they're automatically better drivers than others out there. i have a turbo!!!111!! i am the fatestzzzzzz!!!!!!!@$# i have quattro!!! i am invincible!!Q~!@#!@ knowing they have better features, now they go and drive like a dumbass.

i know this isnt u, im just saying.

ouchhhhhhhhh i'd hate to imagine the pain the driver was in right after the crash, probably sliced his legs clean off n fucked up his body good enough

i think the speedo dropped significantly like 0.1 seconds into the crash and probably stopped there...


wait actually it reads about 90-100km/h so sounds about right... add 20-30km/h for impact speed n thats the result

shitty sucks to be the driver.

Damn, with the best colour combination too.

The car was crashed at 110kph?

woot one less retard with an R8, or rather one less rich retard that can't drive.

Sorry, my bad. Totally missed. :p

ouch,

I think it's higher than 110kph. I think the rev meter and speedometer dropped a lot before the computer system crashed. I'll guess somewhere around 160-180kph.

no more like, cept he still has his arms as far as I know.

Holy shit - surprised the driver actually survived!

Holy crap thats just reckless driving
but both the passenger and driver were able to survive....wow god must have been on their side

That thin piece of guardrail is thicker than any firewall you're going to see out there, and being formed the way it is is incredibly strong, remember, it's designed to keep cars and trucks from falling off the roadway. Firewalls aren't armour plating, just relatively thin sheet to keep heat and fumes out of the cabin, and to provide some torsional rigidity to the car.

A few years back, 2 Hongers had the same thing happen to their A4 (another Audi, how ironic) @ 57 + Heather, except it was the top "rail" of a chain-link fence, and it went through the crotch of the driver and the stomach of the guy directly behind him or was it the other way around. Took them 2h to cut them out. Imagine you're sitting there with a bar through you and your buddy like a skewer, waiting for the cops to show up, and one of you knows your bloodline just ended.

They showed pics of the bar entering through the grille and going out the rear bumper through the plastic. Must've been going pretty fast to be able to penetrate the engine area, firewall, both passengers, both seats, and rear bumper. Man I wish I cut out the pics.

Go watch Forrest Gump.

sounds intense
