ABT RS6-R Performance in Camden with collapsed rear axle

[MikeFish]

Anybody seen this or know who it is?

Ouch. Good luck with the warranty claim on that!

I saw that car two weeks ago. Hard to tell by the picture what has happen, but it looks repairable at least

Better pictures of it :

I wonder if it was running on spacers...

[MikeFish]

Des anyone know what happened to it (other than kevs spacer theory )?

It reminds me of one of Golf's posts:

First of all, best ABT i have seen! Like that they have kept the exterior standard as i've seen one in the flesh and the bodykit looks silly and the propellor style wheels they do are horrific!

I do wonder if, say, a van has reversed into the wheel which has caused the issue. All ABT do is fit lowering springs after all. You' have to question what they could get wrong, other than put the damper back on badly. The RHS looks fine to me.

That's a broken axel 100% mechanical failure, no way that's accident damage

[doodlebug]

Agreed, look at the way the panel has been pushed out by the tyre. The alloy itself looks OK.

Lol, I love how it's the best looking abt because all they did was leave it looking standard (other than a badge).

Ha Ha, yeah. They must have be desperate to sell them to effectively sell that as a ABT-R when effectively it has a map, exhaust and a few interior bits (an assumption, given we can't see the interior). Or of course, somehow he has simply obtained an ABT badge.
