A friend of my sisters in Germany lost control of his Mustang and didn't make it. Just haven't seen a car come apart like this , I'm sure speeding was certainly a factor along with poor road conditions. Just a reminder how fast things can happen. Below is a web link to news article with pictures.

Cars generally only come apart like that at a high rate of speed...

Triple figure speeds. Scary.

unfortunately these kinds of accidents are happening at, imo, frequently here in Germany. There are many stories in the German press of people totalling (wrecking) GT Mustangs during the test drive. My ford dealer showed me some pics of a Mustang a customer wrecked during a test drive. It seems that some Germans don't understand the power of the GT Mustang and they floor the gas or some other stupid maneuver in the rain or wet ground or whatever. I haven't seen any reports of people wrecking the EB models doing stupid shit. :doh:

Good lord that's insane looking. 100+ in the wet is just asking for trouble. Sorry for your sister's loss OP but this was completely preventable.

Be careful out there.

Holy shit, I was expecting to see a crumpled up, but still in one piece car, not what might as well be a mustang themed wheel barrow :eyebulge:

The interesting picture in this part, at-least to me is how the catback appears mostly intact.
