Two VERY lucky people, though how hes going to explain this to the insurers should be interesting.

The one positive is the fact they both got out of the car relatively unscathed.

Police are currently investigating if excessive speed caused the crash... The road has a 50mph limit.

What are the odds?

A 20 year old driving Daddy's supercar with a 19 year old babe in the passenger seat? Seems most unlikely he took it much over 52 or 53...

I wonder what kind of parents would allow their son to drive a 600+bhp supercar.

I'd certainly let my son drive it....but I would say that seeing as how I don't own one

being 20 myself, raised in an income state that demanded the beater first car, I'd gladly fly to germany to punch this kid in the face.

The Gumpert Apollo is quite nearly the closest thing you can get to a purpose built race car. how you lose control over a turn, driving quickly in a car with downforce...sickening.

even I've had some track time. If daddy-o could afford that much, he should have afforded to go on the nurburgring and teach his kid how to drive the car fast. if he could have done that much the kid woulda kept it on the track. A gumpert Apollo is enough to get a girl, theres no reason to push the point further by showing off how fast it goes without knowing how to do it right.

Dad is eagerly awaiting insurance check- so he can buy a real car.
