TK-421 · 02-19-2010, 10:07 AM

lol "multimillion dollar"? they must have it confused with the veyron or something because the kuwaiti dinar is only 3.4 U.S. dollars

Garduna · 02-19-2010, 10:14 AM

Ender514 · 02-19-2010, 10:34 AM

BroDoze · 02-19-2010, 11:33 AM

Ouch - don't think he made it out of that one...

Scorpion · 02-19-2010, 11:46 AM

That's pretty bad, you really got to try to rip a car in two.

anthony @ eas · 02-19-2010, 12:27 PM

Daaaannng. This seems to always happen with the higher-end mid-engine sports cars.

Bimmerboy888 · 02-19-2010, 12:29 PM

Wow. That's scarey.

Autotuned M3 · 02-19-2010, 12:58 PM

wow...

BrokenVert · 02-19-2010, 01:12 PM

The front of the R8 is 50ft back still attached to the tree isnt it?

Multi million dollars

I guess each one you buy comes with 10 more in case this happens

ibeclueless · 02-19-2010, 02:49 PM

immiketoo · 02-19-2010, 03:26 PM

The force generated to do that was immense. Imagine the sound that made.

yeah. I wonder why it seems to happen like that. they almost always caught fire in accident too. I've seen ferrari, lambo, etc on fire all the time in accident pics.

ptack · 02-19-2010, 03:46 PM

I guess he wanted an R4.

BillLee · 02-19-2010, 03:58 PM

Well i belive it is a simple matter of the laws of physics.

An object in motion ( car ) will remain in motion, until stopped by outside force ( lets say tree ) now the greater weight of this car is in the rear therefore the amount of energy transfered must be so much it literaly splits the car?

STALKER · 02-19-2010, 06:25 PM

Thats crazy.

Regardless of this story, let me say that I wish I was some rich Abu Dhabi kid. They all roll around in Bentley's, AM's, Ferrari's, you name it. Must be nice to be sitting on such a huge supply of one of the most valuable resources on our planet...
