When An Aston Martin Rapide Takes On A Guardrail There's Only One Winner

Even the lightest of car crashes can be a stressful experience. The fear for your safety to the fear for the contents of your wallet can leave drivers a quivering mess. Not these two, though. These blokes are taking their Aston Martin Rapide for a spin, testing out the acceleration and top speed of their luxury motor.

Just smashed an Aston. Epic lolz.

Their road test rapidly becomes a crash test, however, when the driver decides to turn off the traction control. At high speed on the highway, the driver enters a corner far too quickly, and suddenly finds the brakes aren't quite enough to get him through the bend.

What little remains of the front corner

A hefty collision occurs, with glass and debris showering the driver. Cut to black, and we find ourselves outside with the passenger, standing beside £150,000 worth of wrecked Aston laughing at "one of my best crashes." The driver is in similarly high spirits, as fellow drivers begin to approach the accident scene.

The wheel was ripped off and landed in a field beside the road

Quite how anyone can be so relaxed after such a smash, especially in such an exotic motor, is beyond us. The phrase 'more money than sense' seems appropriate.
