Crash Supras on Public Roads

high powered, balanced RWD car.

unless it understeers like a pig (mist manufacturers tune to this, because safer for the average idiot)... people are going to bend these.

My guess also. New platform and not enough driver experience.

My guess: cold tires, traction/stability control off and going full throttle
As the road is not wet, the car has grip with warm tires to go in a straight line.

Tested my Supra in minor wet with 520HP/775NM (engine) and traction control on at 75km/h in third gear, going 1/2 throttle... the car still goes in a straight line, traction/stability control saving your ass

So this is how the guy crashed.

Yeah it doesn’t take much to lose control of a powerful RWD like that.

Yeah, if you don’t know how to drive.

Gives new meaning to the tree hugger term, “eco boost”.

You want dibs?

That’s embarrassing. Ooof.

Still even had the tag on the glove box door.

That’s a really bad driver. Didn’t even try to correct it. Reminds me of that one video from when the M4 had just come out.

Seriously what a rookie driver. Boost hits and he just let's the car swing around, these damn people are going to make our insurance go up when they start seeing a lot of wrecks with the car. Stop the madness!

I like how the driver just keeps going like nothing ever happened.

They are lucky they didn't hurt or kill someone else. Morons shouldn't be doing that on a public road.

Definitely shouldn’t be doing on a public road. But let’s make this educational. You are the driver in that situation - what do you do to correct?
