That is impressive.

Good to know, I think.

There isn't that much front end damage tbh. I'm sure engine is intact, and if isn't then that is impressive

Hmm… not sure I'd trust a Lithuanian concrete barrier construction based on this - I know I came off worst again a UK barrier some years ago, but that was head-on at about 55mph

Either way, the car is a write-off, and based on these pictures, it looks like at least one of the occupants was injured, unfortunately..

Default A8 vs pole

Hello everyone!

I saw this post here and thought it would be a good idea to add this link:

http://www.delfi.ee/news/paevauudise....d?id=66403932

According to police the driver was asleep.

The amazing fact is that the driver and the passenger was not injured.They walked around the scene and were probably happy faces that did not get injured and survived.

What an amazing car is the A8.
