What happened to that E92 that got bent in half?

I'm looking for pictures of that silver/grey e92 carbon top that got into a wreck and the car was quite literally bent in half the tail lights still worked and everything and apparently the guy walked away with scratches? Something about attempting a top speed run and lost control. Can't find pics or the forum post for the life of me.

I think he deleted it after the swift roasting he received for admittedly going 100+ on a 35mph road.

I feared this day would come. Can't imagine when the Hellcat's get into the under $20k price point.

Well back in 2011 there was an infamous post of a guy in his Jerez E92 that did the same only his car ripped in two pieces and he didn't survive.

Pictures are gone but still on google if you search E92 accident ripped in half

Just wait until EV's hit the enthusiast crowd. Not to mention EV trucks that will be able to hurl 5,000lbs of mass from 0-60 mph in mid 3's?

I just think it's interesting that the splitters are still (relatively) intact, where as mine crack if you look at them wrong, or go over a speed bump, or up a steep incline, or down a steep incline.
