I read somewhere else that it wasn't an accident, it caught on fire somehow. Mechanical fault? One says it crashed and another says it didn't so I'm confused now.

Who let the idiot test that car. That RS8 is pure sexy on wheels. Oh did you know it powered by a Lamboghini V10!!! Damn...feel sorry for the car!

This thread should be tittle RS8 otherwise people gonna think it another clubbie R8 smash again.
