ivan Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Aquaplaned on a long right-hand bend during a heavy rainstorm. Went into the central reservation and then bounced across to the barrier. And no, he didn't survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 it may be the slowest car Audi have ever built but it soon gets demolished, Thats nasty. Must have been some serious speed involved. And no, he didn't survive. Was going to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 nightmare. All the traction control, handling, 4wd... makes no difference if you car weight nothing and your running massive tyres. Makes you think; trusting your life to all the engineering, allwoing to push a bit harder than a sup, but when it goes it's gone... bigtime.

Better than the Porsce. What the hell is he doing without a belt. With all the safety built into that car he would've survived with belt on.

My mate John gets his R8 tomorrow, hope he keeps a steady head. Hopefully I'll get a jaunt in it tomrrow night, see how it hangs out lol. Personally I am anti mid engine, all back to my "pendulum" comments, great cars on a "Billiard table" flat track, but in the real world just damm dangerous. They ought to stay on poster in kids bedroom walls IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 What did the rev counter max out then, did tehy show you? Yeah, you get to see it quite a few times. Its the same as an RS4, so has a nice high rev limit. Shame to see that car in such a mess.... great shame he didnt survive. What a waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
