Guy trashed his Audi RS6 and walked away from it.

Was behind one of these on Constallation Drive the other day (80 kmh zone) stopped at the lights behind him, he floored it, I floored it - by the time I hit the speed limit, he must have been a good 100 meters ahead of me. Very impressive. Good in an accident too apparently! |

Yeah, it's a bit of a beast.
330kw & 560nm in a 1840kg car. Bloody heavy. |

If it's camera flash, why aren't the indicators, reverse lights, the red lights near the license plate, and the stop lights not lit up? |

My guess would be not at the right angle - just speculation though. |

Tail lights are designed to be reflective. The others aren't. |

That is amazing. Kudos to the safety engineers at Audi.
Either that or the guy is just the luckiest man alive. |
