Apparently almost completely uninjured....wonder what speed he hit that tree at? One place in the car is completely intact, the drivers seat. Surely any passengers would have died...incredible,

There have been plenty of commnets about this crash on other forums, but I am amazed at how the relatively puny looking tree could have inflicted so much damage, while looking so unscathed (apart from a small bandage!) itself.

Look like Luxembourg plates.

I am very doubtful about the caption ("no cutting") - I am sure that car was cut apart (unless Audis just break into pieces on impact).

I am with you on this one Aprilia.

Likewise though the drivers compartment is very much intact which would suggest that cutting was not required, I wonder whether the photos have been doctored?

He was really lucky, looking at the pictures again, how the whole car all around the drivers seat simply disintegrated , thus leaving him various options as to how to get out - thru the door, out the passenger side, out the roof...................

I don't know - why would separate the car front to back? Normally (well at least in the UK) the roof would be removed by cutting the A, B and C posts, but that hasn't happened.

It is difficult to imagine that an Audi (which we're led to believe is strong 'safe' manufacturer) could have suffered that much damage without seriously injuring the driver (or breaking the tree!). Maybe it was a cut n' shut!

I wonder if the properties of aluminium have anything to do with it? It does look odd; most cars I've seen that have split in half like that, had much more deformation of the surrounding shell; broken glass; twisted doorframes etc.

The links don't work but do a Google for "RS6 crash luxembourg" and you'll see some photos.

This man's car was sandwiched by two trucks and, apart from the obvious damage to the car, all that happened to him was that he broke his sungalsses - allegedly!

Could the car be a cut and shut ? Well at least the airbags went off !

This is the stuff that Deepwidth was talking about in her post.
Man Crashes RS6...8 lives used.. - Pugugly
Links not working - trouble is Deepwidth's photos are on a Powerpoint - I've got no clue how to link them to the site.
Man Crashes RS6...8 lives used.. - rtj70
Unless the Powerpoint is stored/hosted somewhere then we cannot link to it.

Is it the same accident as here? Or can references be found?
Man Crashes RS6...8 lives used.. - Pugugly
Yes - RS6 chopped in half.

So my comment (above) on doing a google on RS6 + crash + luxembourg finds lots of links.

e.g. this tiny URL link works (for now):

mabey he just wanted to see if his brake lights were working? it's a bit easier now, even sat in the driving seat.

Just as well it was a left hand drive car, the left cockpit is just about ok, whereas the right side cockpit (UK side) was destroyed.
