Like the viper it has no safety features, rear wheel drives and over 600 horsepower. Driven by an inexperienced driver.

The only difference is the viper wasn’t driving as fast and it didn’t catch on fire.

it was the new carrera i believe it had plenty of safety features not their fault it spun out and they crashed into a tree :manny:

The carerra 918 spider is notoriously the most difficult modern car to drive, Leno & the top gear boys have gone on record saying the same. No driver aids on it, and too fast for being unruly as it is.

The driver was considered experienced as well and still killed everybody. The only upside to that is that the death was limited to 2 passengers. That car like most other super cars are designed to separate the chassis into 2 to prevent death by fire and when that happens the half of the car that holds the engine can take out another innocent bystander/car in the process

Yeah, those Vipers are known to produce way too much horsepower and torque. Looks like he punched it off the line and tried to get over to the other lane...NOPE!!!

In those cars, you open the throttle only with your wheels straight! Turning your wheels and trying to accelerate will almost always lead to this.

Not a car expert ..what generally makes vipers more difficult to drive than others?
so you have a very like sports car making 400 ft lbs or torque. The tires they were on were the widest available but it wouldnt make a difference if you didnt regulate the throttle properly.


In the video you notice he did just fine in first gear but its always that 1-2 shift that catches people. If you already got momentum and with that enough torque you dont need to be on the gas like that once you shift to second . So once he got on the gas the ass end spins cuz he gave it too much gas when he could have just eased into it.
