maybe the spring was in the car ?

Multi-link rears like to barf out springs pretty often in crashes. Now if it was from the front..that'd be pretty insane.

whoa, if the spring popped out, that strut would have destroyed the other side of the car.

Is it just me or is the fourth wheel missing/torn off? Hence the spring?

Suspension DIY gone wrong?

looks like it happened in Singapore....

Wow that sucks!

CPWINCH · 10-11-2012, 01:19 AM

do I spy Akra?

Terraforce1 · 10-11-2012, 03:12 AM

Can't believe the spring popped out. Damage doesn't look that bad for a car that has been rolled. Although it doesn't look like it rolled more than once, so perhaps it just landed on the roof

That would surprise me. Rollovers are nearly always totaled due to the extent of the damage and potential safety issues.

OMG, hope the driver is ok !

Damn it, I hope the driver is ok. But since its upside down, I call dibs on the exhaust if its not stock.

Airbags out
Needs both bumpers, probably both fenders, hood, passenger door
Both passenger side wheels...judging by the damage on the wheels and the spring on the ground

i'd say suspension damage.
New CF roof and both the quarter panels are crunched

I would have made that insurance company total that car! KW FTW!!

Damn! The damage doesn't look that bad. If the pillars are ok and the chassis is intact then it may be converted to a nice track car
