Someone Put A Brand New Audi R8 In A Ditch While Leaving A Car Meet

This R8 V10 Plus - which is so new it's not even wearing proper number plates - ended up in a ditch seconds after leaving a cars and coffee event in Caserta, Italy

While this embarrassing crash serves as a welcome piece of evidence that shows it’s not just Mustangs that wreck outside cars and coffee-style events, there is a more pressing matter here: why is this R8 wearing generic model name numberplates, with what looks like a temporary trade plate hanging off the spoiler?

A few other outlets have speculated that the owner had only just taken delivery of this R8 at the time of the crash, but with those temporary plates you can’t help but wonder if a dealership employee with a heavy right foot had taken the keys for the weekend.

What do you think?

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Shame it was a gR8 ride.

I bet some of us are crying Audi-bly for the sake of it

I bet he’s feeling pretty IR8

That’s called trying too hard to tailgate a Ferrari.

Don’t you mean tailg8

Seems not too bad damage.

Every slightly damaged or scratched part will have to be replaced / fixed. Damage so small, this video wont be enough to say! :) i would think this turned out to be an expensive weekend! ;)
