This is the first wrecked GT I have seen, and they are built about 1 mile from my home in Detroit, USA. Real shame, one of the few good cars to come out of Detroit...

Lucky its a left hand drive by the looks of it, did everyone survive? I remeber seeing on the news a ferrari F40 that crashed in a road event in the Northern Territory killing driver/navigator + 2 checkpoint officials, very sad but the ferrari did n't any more damaged than that GT40! I guess 'super cars' have very rigid chassis etc minimal crumple zone etc therefore not as survivable?
Mats the question i was asking is are these 'super cars' less surviveable in accidents because they're so rigid, while other 'every day cars have crumple zones air bags + side air bags etc etc.
The F40 crashed while braking for the check point, the speed it was doing???
Last year i was involved in an accident. I was driving Honda Integra (girlfriends car) stopped at the end of traffic jam and a jeep renegade ran clean up the back of us (heard the brakes skid only for split second then bang!) It pushed us into the front of the car in front too . The honda was written off, front & rear plus side panels over wheels crushed. and yes it DID hurt!
Maybe it would have been worse if the honda didn't absorb the 4WD's energy/momentum?
The 4WD was hardly damaged at all, i guess they're rigid too without crumple zones etc.
Whats the point after an accident having a car thats 'less' bent you don't get out of? or a car totally bent/written off that you can walk away from?
Maybe some of these "super car owners" need to think about this before thinking they're "super car drivers"
otherwise you crash it
its bye bye

Supercars must pass the same tests as a normal car. They focus on other stuff though, maybe not so much pedestrians and seat belt reminders.

What where the results? other than one dead lambo did it pass to standard or exceed set standard with flying colours?
Here's some more supercar owner mishaps

Wow MALDI, there's even a lambo driver in there with his own web site claiming his 230,000 Euro Lambo had a mechanical "defect" while on a long straight strech of autobahn causing him to lose control at 220-240kmh !
