Driver totals £120,000 Audi supercar after ‘racing off’ at roundabout

The driver of an Audi R8 supercar accelerated out of a roundabout – before spinning out of control and smashing into a lamp post.

The £120,000 car can do up to 197mph – but the driver can be heard hitting the accelerator as he leaves the roundabout.

The car ended up headfirst in a bush – with the back wheel knocked out of place, and the undercarriage mangled.

The accident happened as drivers in supercars left a show nearby – but no one is thought to have been injured.

The footage was uploaded to Facebook with the caption: ‘Footage of a Audi R8 losing rear control earlier today in Preston UK. It didn’t end too well.’
