Outrageously Dumb Mustang Vs A45 Street Race Has Crashy Consequences
It should be fairly obvious that racing another car at speeds of up to 110mph on any road - let alone a busy city street - is incredibly stupid, but just in case, here’s some proof.
The video above was shot in the Gangbuk District of Seoul, Korea. It’s dashcam footage from a Ford Mustang, which was raced against a Mercedes-AMG A45 that we only see a portion of at the 31sec mark and a brief flash of later on.
Both cars were said to be driving at speeds of up to 177kmh (110mph) in a 60kmh zone (37mph). The Mustang is seen aggressively manoeuvring around traffic, before getting stuck behind a scooter. The driver then accelerates and turns sharply, hitting a fence in the process. That’s when the car spins, smashes into a tree (with enough force to cut it down) and wipes out a parked motorbike.
Thankfully, no bystanders were hit when the car crashed, but this sorry story could have easily had a nastier ending.

Guys, since I am Korean, I can explain the situation.
The two drivers (A45 and Mustang GT) have made a bet to get to a place outside of town. The drivers DO indeed say that they will ignore lights and speeding cameras. As the race starts, the Mustang driver slips, hits cone and also collides with the A45 AMG which escapes the scene. The Mustang drivers decide to DITCH their cars (yes, for real) and say “Shit, the car won’t start.., it’s busted” (no Shit Sherlock) . The drivers were arrested the next day.
