I don't think it's photoshopped, it looks too real.

Did the article say where this happened? It looks like Florida. Those palm trees definitely look like ours.

says something about how rigid they made the chasis.

You had me nervous... that guy who lost his life out in Cali seemed like a stand-up kinda guy

With how much those cost I am just surprised owners are actually driving them.

If I had one, no way would I let it share a roadway with all the lunatics out there.

holy crap.... that thing is pretty frickin strong. At least the driver probably escaped in pretty good condition assuming he was restrained.

I'm really not feelin that car with the top on though. Doesn't flow nearly as well as the F50 or other targas/roadsters out there.

a few feet from disaster... they got out lucky! Cars not too damaged...

Looks like they had too much speed. Possibly jumped a curb coming around a corner a flew into the ditch...
