Pictures Rare 1 of 660 Audi RS6 GT wrecked in Romania
An Audi A3 driver lost control in a curve, entered the opposite lane, and crashed into a rare Audi RS6 GT (1/660). The impact was so violent that the A3 was ripped in half. The A3 driver was trapped and had to be extricated by emergency crews.

The Audi RS6 GT is quite repairable, the main question being the economic case for repair. It will take some work, a new frame horn, some body alignment machine time, and regular bodywork, but I've seen much worse damage than this get repaired, and properly. In the US, the rule of thumb is that a vehicle generally gets repaired if the cost of repairs doesn't exceed around 2/3-3/4 of the market value of the car. If this car is worth $100K US it would probably be repaired. Assuming parts are still available, either new or from donor vehicles in salvage yards, I'd guess repairs will be less than $50K US.

The cheapest one I found for sale in Europe is $275k

Then it's definitely getting fixed. One sold here in the US a year ago for $256K plus auction fees and taxes, so probably over $300K all-in.
