Davvemannen Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Seriously scary onboard footage from the 200mph Huracan crash in september. Crazy that both driver and passenger survived. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts640 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Miracle that they survived. Did he just hit a bad bump and lose control? Looks it. But at 200 mph (and I know you know this) once those wheels are off the road.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinnsella Report post Posted January 19, 2015 GTSpirit says the driver managed to get out and dragged the passenger out aswell before it went up in flames. Even a small bump (christ, a wind gust can) at that speed can upset the car, especially if the driver over corrects to try and catch the car. Zero margin for error. Closing speeds in that video are insane, those guys were idiots to drive that fast on such a busy road. Very lucky nobody was killed.

key03 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 That guy had the death grip on the wheel the whole time. When I see stuff like this I imagine my teenage daughter in the slow lane and getting rear ended by an asshole like this at 200 mph. This is just so screwed up on so many levels and obviously this was not the Autobahn. That was no gentle rise or bump he encountered that sent the car flying.

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Driver was a big boy. His knees were practically at the paddles. No clue HOW he managed to get out. His friend was pretty banged up though if I remember right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmtn Report post Posted January 19, 2015 I think they hit few bumps and then car contacts side railing on left side before heading onto field. Any other theories? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
key03 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 uh, let's see too fast for conditions, maybe? I think they literally became airborne enough to get the front end off the ground and metahead panicked and tried to steer a non-steering car. When the steering came back he was pointed 20 degrees off course and just sailed right off the road. Things happen very fast at 150-200 mph and he simply got pointed in the wrong direction. My opinion. They could have easily rolled this thing and the outcome my have been death. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
szabo_martin Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Seeing as they are in Hungary and I would stake my life on it the guys a gangster, he won't ever be in custody. It is a reality check, Its always fun to blast up to 120-140mph but cruising over 200 on the main highway is nuts. The M7 is a decent road and they drive like most Euros where they stay out of the left lane, its still a miracle no one else was killed... especially the chick in the passenger seat. I say it all the time... these cars are getting faster and faster, roads are getting busier and busier..... drivers are not getting any better.... I remember when my Corrado VR6 was a fast car with 180hp and 0-60 in 6.8 seconds..... now the new Plastic mess-06 is under 3 seconds.....

dyvatvol15 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 It used to be this car: - Car from car rental - crashed month after purchase - there were bump which car hit - Driver and passenger both survived - driver paid 10 % of price of the car because of insurance deductible - police got the video and posted it online Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilipinoStig Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Death grip on wheel. 10 and 2 instead of 9 and 3. WAY too fast for that road and conditions. I have been on stretches of German Autobahn where one could easily do 250 - early morning on a Sunday when no one is out. But this road/conditions were not for that. It's a shame cars are so safe now, Darwin really keeps missing his take. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Only an asshole who has no regard for others lives and is only concerned with his own thrill drives at that speed on a road like that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxeous Report post Posted January 19, 2015 My brother sent me this video earlier today. My stomach dropped when he started to lose control, can't even imagine what that was like. Glad they are ok and didn't hurt anyone else. Are we sure this isn't an autobahn style road with no speed limits to begin with? I can't see someone driving like that on a normal highway, that's just absurd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
12097 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 The driver probably felt bulletproof prior loosing control. I suspect that's no longer the case. 330km/h converts to about 205 mph. To put this into perspective the driver is traveling the length of a (NFL) football field EVERY SECOND. At these speeds, a small driver error is magnified ten fold. Fortunately, both occupants survived and no innocents were hurt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see someone driving like that on a normal highway, that's just absurd. Even on the autobahn there are plenty of rules and restrictions. This guy had no business driving with those kinds of closing speeds to the other cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
szabo_martin Report post Posted January 20, 2015 M7 is 130kph.... Usually middle lane is 130 you pull out to pass 150 then back cops don't care, but not 330. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
