BMW i8 Crashes on German Highway
BIMMERPOST NEWS BMW i8 Crashes on German Highway This preproduction BMW i8 was just spotted crashed on the A92 in Germany. Driving the BMW hybrid halo sports car was a 30 year old BMW test driver and excessive speed was cited by the police as a factor in the accident. The car was traveling "a little bit too fast," Police Chief Commissioner Nicholas Bishop suspects. The i8 first crashed into the median barrier and was then flung across the roadway, coming to a stop in the right lane. Fortunately, the test driver was unharmed. But, this i8 may have seen its last days of testing. via Uberto (@ Mietwagon-talk.de) via merkur-online.de |

Crashing is better than catching fire on the side of the road............

Publicity stunt. "See, you crash and you will still be safe! Buy our car!"
In all seriousness, glad all are ok...except for the beautiful car.

I doubt he has to look for a new job. This is what they pay these guys for - testing cars to their limits.
