A 33-year-old man from The Netherlands took the brand-new Audi R8 for a test drive near the town of Woerdense Verlaat. According to some reports, he was doing 130 km/h or 80 mph on a 50 mph limit road, though other reports say that he might have been going as fast as 200 km/h or 125 mph. The fact is that he suddenly lost control of the 420HP mid-engined supercar and ditched it into a river bank.

Luckily, no one got hurt but the Audi R8 that costs a staggering €157,630 or $232,500 in The Netherlands is considered a total loss. According to the Dutch police, the accident may have been caused by a bump on the road at the point where the driver of the R8 lost control of the vehicle.

Say what, the accident was caused by an incompetent driver exceeding the speed limit on an unfamiliar road.
