Post Why you want to be in a Carbon Fibre cell

Watch from about 17 mins:




Both occupants were ok, with very minor injuries. Walked away from it.

Amazing structural integrity.

Ignore the heading about it being abandoned - it wasn't. I know the driver/owner, from another forum. Poor driving by her though.

She loved her 720S. Just got too comfortable pushing a car with that level of performance. I hope she can recover mentally from that. Such accidents can stick with someone.

Christine (720s owner) lives here in Dallas and I’ve met her at several car meets. Her 720s had probably the best color options (charcoal gray style color) and it’s pretty sad to see it wrecked like that. Glad she’s ok though. She also owns a 675LT though so I doubt she’s going to be driving an insurance loaner or anything.

I think hers was a color called glacier white. It's a silvery white. Emphasis on was.

That's a 570s not a 720S. But you're right I looked at her car again it was a charcoal grey. Very nice color.
