yeah saw that... Lambo in there too :-\
The lead car must've been that Yaris, probably an R model. [cheeky]

ouchhhh
I was out yesterday and something like this basically happened right in front of me... not supercars though, just a whole long line of beemers/wrx's/sti's.
I was coming down a curvy mtn road behind another car and in front of that, a guy on a bicycle. Coming up the hill was this huge line of those cars, and then I noticed the first couple of beemers drifting the corner so I slow down and move more to the side... when all of a sudden one of the beemers just drifts... right off the edge of the corner. All you see is this car sliding off the road, a huge bang sound, and then leaves get thrown up everywhere.
Basically, it looked exactly like that c5 c6 vid that was posted a couple of days ago. My first thought was... g'dammit, I knew I should have gotten that gopro!
Maybe the guy in front saw a pelican.
Maybe a turkey? [laugh]
Goodness. That looks real expensive. Probably caused by texting. ;)
I nearly cried.
most seem to have mainly front end damage therefore great donor drivetrains. Be great in the back of a minivan [cheeky]
Doesnt surprise me.
In Japan they drive on the correct side of the road [thumbsup]
Yet the steering wheels on every one of the wrecked exotica are all in front of the passenger's seat.
No bloody wonder they crashed [roll].
Maybe they were all just cruising down the road when out of no where they get passed by the guy in the Pruis with a stuck accelerator. The sight of getting blown off the road by a hybrid caused them all to loose control.
I'm going with the Prius excuse. [thumbsup]
total damage of the accident $3.8 million according to Wired Magazine - http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/12/japan-ferrari-crash/?intcid=story_ribbon (http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/12/japan-ferrari-crash/?intcid=story_ribbon)
the really funny part will be if they are all insured by the same company....
