The Green Hell has claimed yet another victim, this time a new generation Audi R8 V10 Plus which bit the dust after an altercation with the laws of physics. The super car ended up headbutting the guardrails at considerable speed after the driver lost control of the car due to loss of grip which sent the car into a spin.
One thing Audi R8 V10, and any other Audi for that matter, always boast about is the sophisticated Quattro all-wheel-drive system they feature, how it’s super clever and get you out of man tricky situations. Well, it clearly didn’t work here, or the owner of this pretty R8 would have smashed the face of this brand-new car.
