The 33-year-old Dutch man from the town of Woerden in the Netherlands went by his local Audi dealership to check out a brand spankin' new R8 supercar... and then proceeded to drive it into the nearest river. The driver was reportedly speeding – 80 mph according to police, but closer to 125 if you ask some of the bystanders – in a 50 zone when he hit a bump, lost control and skidded into a dyke. Although local law enforcement authorities are reportedly investigating the incident, nobody was hurt. The same cannot be said, sadly, for the car, which is reportedly in a repair shop where the dealer's insurance company will surely declare it a write-off.

 

what a waste =(

 

Smooth..

 

they let him test drive it alone?

 

Wow. thats special. yea, im curious too, do they let people test them alone over there ?

 

dibs on the motor and tranny. can you say 400hp awd dune buggy? stuff that in a VW thing and call it a day.

 

damn that sucks...not everywhere does someone go with you for a test drive. But, ****, in that car i would def. have someone go with.

 

That sucks but talk about getting your hands on a cheap r8

 

Serious lol anyone want to pitch in :-P jk

 

Ha, that was my first thought.

Wonder what it'd cost to buy it back from the insurance company...
