Video: Idiot smashes €138,000 Audi RS6 into a tram while on a test drive

Petrol-heads, look away now

What was the driver thinking?

When you take a brand spanking new car out for a test drive you’re being trusted with an expensive piece of kit that’s not your own, regardless of whether it costs €10,000 or €100,000.

So it’s best practise not to act like a d*ck while on said test drive, especially if it’s a powerful car you’re not used to.

Unfortunately, this test driver from Poznań didn’t heed our little pro-tip above and ended up smashing the 4.0L V8 RS6 Avant into a tram.

Petrol heads, look away now…

The RS6 in question pumps out 412hp and in Ireland it costs a whopping €138,800 – but to be fair it’s one of the best performance cars on the market.
