I just went by the crash site, and the guard rail is really unsafe - if you imagine a motorbike going under - will be the same effect - there should be a second guard rail underside. The test driver was on track for porsche doing a long term test on the Autobahn. I live in that area and the A5 has 4 lanes and no speed limit - you can imagine why they run tests there at 2:45 in the morning. Sad scene - people at the scene reported that the speedo needle stuck at 200 km/h after the accident but there will be an official investigation. The car was a prototype cabrio followed by a Panamera to perform 8 hour tests for new parts build in that car. Until today, nobody knows exactly what happed, except for the tragic loss of life.
