Default RS6 vs Tree

















Aprrently there was only the driver in the car, and he got out and called the Police himself.

Sorry if a repost

That is quite scary when you think Audis are considered safe good cars i know he walked away but if it was rhd i don't reckon he would have been as lucky.

anyone know how fast he was going?

hate to think how a scooby estate or even focus estate would have coped!

Quote by Ian Ward on RS6.com

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.

on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=320088449961

4000 euros for what, maybe the sat nav if the screen aint cracked, i'd imagine as the exhaust has been ripped off the turbos will have cracked, and ill bet the engines bent in some shape!

tho, the drivers seat looks ok, maybe a bit of the wiring is easy to get at now if you need it

I'd assume it went sideways into the tree at some speed and the force of the impact simply wrapped it in two.?

dunno cos all the o/s/f suspension is all missing aswell.

Vorsprung durch a tree

Will never forget when I saw a Granada Cosworth that had hit a tree straight on. The engine was inside, between the seats.
