This is from an Rs6 Forum...

The driver/owner is my brother-in-law
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!

The car WAS a pristine RS6 ABT, I was supposed to pick it up that very day to borrow it from him for a week as I've always wanted to try out the ABT version. He really should have simply told me that he didn't want me to drive his car I'm so happy he is alive and all in one piece.

I have referred him to this forum.

Wow, just wow

Exactly what I was thinking... happy the guy survived (I hope he bought a lotto ticket after that), but poor car

Tree - 1
RS6 - 0

**dentrecords** · 03-02-2007, 08:42 PM

Yep, that's crazy alright.

JUST LIKE YOU!!!

**truflip** · 03-02-2007, 09:14 PM

uhmm.. damn! note to self: say no to Rs6

Sli(ks · 03-02-2007, 09:16 PM

I'm pretty sure that car is from the UK, and I've never seen a british car that wasn't right hand drive. The passenger seat doesn't seem to exist anymore lol, so it's a good thing it wasn't.

**truflip** · 03-02-2007, 09:19 PM

yeaa.......... n look at those cop cars

**Yodums** · 03-02-2007, 09:22 PM

Write off anyone?

That's pretty crazy. The road surface look pretty dry to me, so I don't completely buy the story of him sliding on ice. He had to be doing something pretty extreme to break traction or lose control of the vehicle under those conditions.

jdecker · 03-02-2007, 09:26 PM

thats worse than the Ferrari Enzo's that got split the front and rear of the car

I hope this works I am not to familiar with posting pictures or linking them

How does that happen. the back end of the car facing the opposite way of the front but it's not wrapped around a tree.
Atleast he is okay

**Nomar06** · 03-02-2007, 09:31 PM

I like how the drivers seat looks like nothing happened to it.

SiRyan · 03-02-2007, 09:38 PM

He is sooooo LUCKY not even the windsheild, roof, or any scrap metal touched him!!!

06CivEXJon · 03-02-2007, 10:00 PM

Shows you that VW's and Audis are not safe.

xmx250 · 03-02-2007, 10:38 PM

I believe windshields are designed to crack the way it did (as you can see in the picture) into small little pieces so as not to affect the passengers. I took another look at the pics, it's strange, it's as if the driver's side of the vehicle was constructed in a much more reinforced way...

Definitely a good thing he was on a solo mission

Coop · 03-02-2007, 11:33 PM

someone was looking out for his ass.

***holy EFFING cow*** · 03-02-2007, 11:35 PM

Someone just linked me to a thread like this on another forum.

Damn.

That said, the car came out better than that Enzo crash in Italy about a year & a half ago. The only thing recognisable as a car left was a wheel.

The reg plate looks like Luxembourg to me and note that the traffic in the picture is driving on the European continent/North American side of the road so I think thats where it took place. But like you say, anyone in that right front seat
