A rented Audi R8 Spyder hit no less than 13 parked vehicles in the western Paris suburb Nanterre this past Sunday, with the German supercar cut in half and the driver reportedly on the run.
Thankfully the crash didn’t claim any victims and the Audi R8, which was rented for marriage together with a Porsche 911 according to Parisien, had the entire rear end torn off completely by the time it stopped hitting other cars.

The V10 powertrain ended up several yards away from the destroyed supercar and went up in flames after the crash.
The weird part of the story is about one of the videos that were posted on social media, shot by a shirtless man with his face uncovered in what looks like moments after the incident saying: “We folded it but everything is fine,” among other things (French-speaking readers, feel free to chime in).
The unnamed man was not present when police arrived at the scene of the accident, with authorities launching an investigation to determine who was seating behind the wheel of the German supercar at the time of the accident.

One of the area’s residents said that they’ve been hearing loud engine noises for some time before the accident, adding that the R8 was driven by more than one driver during the night of the accident. A police source confirmed this, saying that “the car passed from hand to hand. We need to identify the driver.”
At least five owners of vehicles involved in the crash have filed a complaint and the search for the driver of the rented Audi R8 continues.
