We’d heard “Old Luxury” was pretty pissed over that whole turf war with Audi over luxury buyers since the Super Bowl. You remember, right? Yeah you do — that was when the Audi R8 dropped the faux Bentley grille into “Old Luxury’s” bed. Well, anyway, it looks like that hit they’ve had out there on the Audi brand has finally taken down one of their made men in Portugal. Yup, scratch one R8, paisan! Sure — it looks like an innocent traffic accident, but that’s just what “Old Luxury” wants you to believe. All we know is Audi better watch themselves and their Le Mans R8 TDI next week at the New York Auto Show. Or at least get Iron Man in as a hired goombah to protect it. All we know is, we haven’t been this upset since that R8 went up in flames a while back.
The United Arab Emirates suffered its worst car crash ever Tuesday, according to press accounts.
The massive multi-car accident killed four people and injured at least 250, according to media reports.
More than 150 vehicles, including 12 big buses, were involved in the chain-reaction collision that happened on the highway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Authorities blamed the crash on reckless driving as well as “heavy fog.”
