It's a wall of tires, not an actual wall. Still, I'm curious about the damage.

It's body is carbon fiber so it won't have that much flexibility (compared to steel anyway) to handle an impact like that (it wasn't a massive hit but there was still a bit of momentum there). But at the same time it is probably stronger than a normal steel body panel so maybe it will be ok. If it is too much for the carbon fiber then it won't just bend a little like a steel panel, I think it shatters, so might not be as easy to fix.

True, but still....watching an exclusive supercar like that take it on the hip is painful....

I mean, taking any car on the streets, it's not a super big deal when you get in a little fender-bender, but seeing the first Carrera GT in the US with a ding in the rear made everyone cry...

What about if you crashed your own 0.5million pound car? That is what actually happened. And he was on T.V. too.

Or better still the 360+ HP Typhoon, but I doubt it though. I'd say the Common-dore got on due to it's ties with Vauxhall.
