Zonda destroyed, driver lives...

Poor, Poor, Zonda F...

Quote:

Driver miraculously survives 199 mph supercar crashA $1.5 million Pagani Zonda registered in Monaco spun out of control at 199 mph earlier this week on Italy's A10 autostrada. Miraculously, the young Italian-Argentine-German driver survived, but sadly, the black Zonda F gave its life so he might hoon catastrophically another day.

Full size
According to reports, forensics have revealed that the driver — a German citizen — lost control at approximately 320 km/h (198.8 mph), sending the $1.5 million supercar into a spin. It hit a guardrail on its right side, lost a wheel, overturned and shot across the roadway, where it collided with a Mercedes — with whom the driver was apparently racing — and came to rest on the opposite guardrail. Both the 28-year-old driver and his 21-year-old Lithuanian passenger were unhurt.

An Italian-Argentine citizen of Germany in a Monaco-registered Pagani Zonda F? Again, thanks to a carbon-composite safety cell, Darwin ignores the baller rich.

damn!

There really isn't anything money can't buy. :heartsmile:

wow well i guess his life was worth over 1 mil.

It's as much the design of the highway than the engineering of the car that allowed the driver to live. The guard rails on both sides of the highway keep the car sliding along after the collision long enough to dissipitate the energy.

yeah those look like some serious guard rails

but my god 200mph and he's fine? :crazy2:

Poor zonda f

some people,can't keep them self's control with the adrenaline rushing going 320 km,bet he made one small mistake and turned the wheel too far.

f1 driver wouldn't have made the mistake.

he's lucky the guard rail didnt go through the car can't believe the passenger survived.

likely an SLR or SLS or SL65. im assuming this based on the speeds that they can achieve.

now are we gonna feel the same remorse for the new pagani haauraaryurre?

me? no.

wow can't even recognize the wreck as a zonda :(

you can't tell me that none of you would try and test a zonda to 200mph if you had the chance?

His insurance company must be pissed.

NOOOOOOOOO! :( I couldn't even tell that was a zonda

damn =.=
320kph..and they walked away?
it was amazing that they lived...but to "not get hurt" is on a new lvl

Least the driver lives

On a racetrack with no other cars, sure. On a highway with other cars, no thanks.

The guy who miraculously survived the 199 mph Zonda F crash is none other than Steffen Korbach who invested heavily in the company after founder Uwe Gemballa was murdered. You think he'd be smarter than to tempt fate.
