Doesn't look too dissimilar to my old Rover Coupe Turbo to which I caused implosion akin to that of an empty crisp packet thrown on to a bonfire. I'll post the pics up one day (from when it went from storage to the breakers), but trust me it wasn't far off this wrecked RS6. To say I'm lucky to be alive is the understatement of the eon. Like this guy, I walked away without a scratch (well, only cut my hand on broken glass when I crawled out the car). The metal post I hit backwards basically folded the car up just like a horse-shoe and I ended up with the rear-right wheel under my drivers seat. Brings back bad memories bigtime whenever I see badly trashed cars like in this post. :roll: The really mad thing about it was the guy behind that witnessed my crash was in a worse state than I was and he had to be taken to hospital with an asthma attack and shock. I ended up helping him!! That was a truly mad day...

Yeah, it's quite old. ISTR reading that it looks worse than it was because the fire brigade cut it open to get the guy out. So it didn't stop in two halves and without the roof like that. Try searching for RS6 crash on YouTube and you'll see some photo montages.
