If the engine was up front it or its bracing and components may have stopped the guardrail from penetrating the cabin or deflected the guardrail away from the driver.

This is precisely my point about the incredibly high HP vehicles available today. Not that they shouldn't be offered, but so few have the track skills needed.

Sad and scary accident, probably wishes he was dead.

There was an A4 that crashed a few years ago and both the driver and the passenger behind the driver were impaled by a metal pole. Both survived but let's just say the driver won't be passing on his genes. You can probably guess how the pole is positioned inside the car.

A lot of the times in these situations of totalled exotics its the car that "overinspired" the driver and inflated confidence. The problem is the laws of physics will always prevail
