Watch A Second-Gen Audi R8 Meet Its Doom At The Nurburgring
A weekend of touristenfahrten at the Nordschleife can't possibly pass without incident, and sure enough, a nearly new R8 was filmed having an intimate encounter with some Armco last Saturday
Skip to about 4min 45sec for the R8 carnage
If this poor R8 can be repaired economically, it’s going to need a hell of a lot of work. The front end has been completely demolished, it’s had a full complement of airbag detonations, and that front right wheel doesn’t look like it had a particularly nice time while the car was loaded onto the recovery vehicle. And to add insult to injury, that Armco looks pretty gouged too, which will result in another hefty bill. Ouch.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I r8 that r8 8/8 m8, gr8 crash

M8 you can’t negoti8 with this. End of deb8.
Well isn’t that gr8
I see what you did there
Too bad it wasn’t a v8
It wasnt. The new R8 only comes with the V10
A combination of the Nurburgring and the driver keeping Audi Distance
This time it wasn’t the FWD, play on focus!
Wich anime+ chapter m8?
can anyone tell me why the rope is tied to the wheel? I thought that there is a place to tie the rope to.
The tow hook in an R8 normally is placed in the frunk. Maybe it fell out during the crash or the frunk couldn’t be opened because of the damage.
That is the reason I’d always install the tow hook before going on a track.
And also that removable tow hook doesnt last to pull 4wd car, it will break if u do it, or may do more damage,
Honestly the damage dosent look horrible, but it is still bad.
Goddamn, R8 drivers. Please.
