Audi R8 test drive ends crashing in a river

The 33-year-old Dutch man from the town of Woerden in the Netherlands went by his local Audi dealership to check out a brand spankin' new R8 supercar... and then proceeded to drive it into the nearest river. The driver was reportedly speeding – 80 mph according to police, but closer to 125 if you ask some of the bystanders – in a 50 zone when he hit a bump, lost control and skidded into a dyke. Although local law enforcement authorities are reportedly investigating the incident, nobody was hurt. The same cannot be said, sadly, for the car, which is reportedly in a repair shop where the dealer's insurance company will surely declare it a write-off.


Porsche GT3 vs Porsche Turbo both awesome cars.

Ellen Degeneres was in the Netherlands ?

dukes of hazard?

I have a customer with an R8, he is an ex rally driver who used to compete in Asia and took me for a nice little ride, that car did things I didnt think a car could do.

He asked if I wanted to drive and I politely declined, as much as I would have liked to drive it I would hate to have to give my house keys to him if I crashed it.

Why do I have a feeling in 2 weeks we are going to see a cheap 'new' R8 on ebay with strange carpet stains.

Looks like a new CarFax ad in the making...

"Less than 50 miles, freshly detailed..."

At least he didn't hit anyone else.

Local high end consignment dealership has a white one on the lot.

I need to go try one out.

Or skip it across the pond like a stone.

just left audi scottsdale and was dealing with audi tt timing belt class action lawsuit b.s. and was looking at an r-8 they had just sold..............same color!

i think this qualifies fur der unterseebooten herr kapitain es KAPUT award!

or der "das ist da ge****zen" getrophy!
