Default Gumball 3000 NewsFlash: Torquenstein WRECKS!

Here is what is said on the TS website:
(BTW...if you don't know who Torquenstein is, I suggest you watch the video below and check out the website!)http://www.torquenstein.net

The Viper was driving down an old two lane Moroccan highway. Tork was going about 140mph until he came upon two rather large and unsuspecting dips in the road. They were not visible until the first impact which caused the rear end of the Viper to shoot off the ground and bottom out.... the second dip caused the Viper to go airborne and upon landing it catapulted into the ditch.
Here is a 6mb "intro" video done by IMV:
Torquenstein Video


Here are some pics...
