really is quite sobering .... especially when you look at how badly the A8 comes out in a 100mph crash ... it splits in two

Default Phew!...

Makes me realise how lucky I was that I only hit the M61 concrete bridge support at 55mph...

And - at the risk of boring everyone with more A8/Tesla Model S comparisons - here's what happened when a Tesla MS was stolen and crashed at 100mph…much the same result as an A8...
