Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport crashes on autobahn

[camshafted]

I think it's the first Grand Sport crash - hit a lorry at 125mph.

Although, considering the Veyron's braking ability, I wouldn't be surprised if he was going a bit quicker.

Still, very lucky escape.

Looks to me like he WAS doing 125mph before the crash. Must have scrubbed off a lot of speed before the impact.
That picture looks more like a parking bump.

that looks very good for something that's hit a truck at 125mph!

[camshafted]

Oops, I think I meant it was going at 125mph when it started to brake.

The Veyron Grand Sport can brake from 62mph-0mph in just 31 metres - so I think he may have been going faster than 125mph when he saw what was about to occur

Obligatory "it'll t-cut out" comment .... but it'll have to be a Bugatti special version of t-cut.

"Two mechanics took boss’ car for a test drive after an oil change and totalled it."

I'm sure there is quite a large percentage of people who have had their cars massively broken by people left in charge of them, but don't own them.

That's a big one on the SV - wouldn't want to be the one who told the boss afterwards!

[Jasandjules]

A shame to see such a work of art damaged.

[goffahsez]

Not In critical conditions?

Pretty sure they will be once the boss gets hold of them!

A quick google of "Lamborghini crash" really does churn out some results.

Maybe it's about time you had a special license to drive a car over a certain BHP or at least go on a course

No way did that Veyron hit the lorry at 125mph and only suffer that amount of damage!.

Why do they always always always mention the price of tyres whenever talking about a Veyron???!?

Because you can buy a lot of cars for the price of the tyres on a veyron.

My fave part of that article:

article said:

What exactly did they expect to learn from the test drive after an oil change... "Jim I hear tapping from the engine, might need to top up the oil a little more", clearly it should say joy ride.
