OMG, they hit the wall with the Maserati MC12. images/smilies/eek.gif

It didn't seem to be that fast of an impact.

So ??? What do you expect to get, taking a car like that out on icy pavement and snow covered grass. images/smilies/bangin.gif

ChaoZ · April 12th, 2005, 5:24 AM

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

astondg · April 12th, 2005, 6:40 AM

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...

MercedesAMG · April 15th, 2005, 10:51 PM

Very true...sort of like last summer when I was in the middle of the lake with my gf in a canoe...and she slid to one side...and the canoe tipped... images/smilies/eek.gif

She's lucky she had a life jacket on...she was laughing so hard she couldn't do anything.

andyhui01 · April 16th, 2005, 5:05 AM

but honestly, I won't be laughing if someone crashed my 0.5million pound car...

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

So....when does Clarkson get to test the XR6 Turbo?

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.
