Looks like 100Kph at 2000rpm?? Looks like a diesel as the red area is around 5000Rpm
Have I missed something?

iirc it was real, it was posted about a year back maybe a little longer. I didnt watch it all but there was photos with bodys that were partially covered in the other photos. im sure if you searched you would find the original thread.

If memory serves, I recall Audi tried to sue the local police force that organised the crash.
Audi were citing that an Audi would not be destoried like that, and that their cars are much safer then depicted.
I seem to remember Audi saying that the set up would effect their sales by thousands of pounds, hence the ad companige was pulled.

Might be the poor quality, or might be my eyes, but are all the tyres not slicks??

I first saw the stills in 2001...definately a genuine accident...front airbags didn't deploy as it was a sideways impact....after that I doubt anything was working!
