There is nothing in any of the news websites that said he died, they just say he cheated death

Didnt this oompa loompa rekt his bike a couple months ago?

>>17350316

>>17350325
Rimac Concept One, it's an all electric hypercar.

>>17350301
That's actually him, wew lad.
First time I've seen a "RIP" person and they were actually involved (he ain't dead tho)

He was apparently conscious when they airlifted him to hospital though.

Here's your investigation. He went into that curve too fast and started sawing on the wheel like a goddam chimpanzee on meth. Case closed.

>The 47-year-old, who sustained brain injuries after a 288mph rocket car accident in 2006, is being treated in hospital after flipping a £2million electric supercar which then burst into flames as he filmed his new Amazon show The Grand Tour.
But he has miraculously escaped the fireball horror with little more than a fractured knee and was 'conscious and talking' after freeing himself from the vehicle.

Why the fuck is Hammond such a bad driver?

>Ran a Ferrari into a bollard in Spain
>Drove into a ditch in Africa
>Ran straight into the back of a vehicle instead of swiping it in the cars for teens challenge
>Flipped a van on its side going around a corner
>Crashed driving a dragster in a straight line

And now he crashed an electric car on a mountain road.

I'm sure there are several more that I missed, too.

That's what happens when you sell your soul to reality TV

>>17350640
Are you daft? They're giving some context so people still aren't asking a million questions. If the statement just said "Hammond was in a crash today but he's alright" twitter, Reddit, etc would all be questioning "OMG Why are they saying so little!? What are they hiding!?"

He's getting older, probably thinks his reactions are as good as they were 5 years ago.

Combine that with instant torque of an electric car with no engine braking and you're rolling around with laughter.

Are you stupid, anon? The dragster's front tire blew up which made him flip.

No one will buy these cars now. Unpredictable at high speed.

???
i enjoy a good meme or two, but what makes you say that

>>17350829
The Veyron is also much bigger in size
This car is almost the same size as a Lotus

>>17350911
A celebrity crashed it and it burst into flames.
It's like the Carrera GT being forever tied to Paul Walker's death (even though that was mainly because of shit old tires, not necessarily the car) and that Zenvo which caught fire on Top Gear.

>>17350848
He took way too much speed into the corner that's all, you can see it in the video.

Not the car's fault but his

>>17350504

WHERE ARE HIS LEGS?!

>>17350923
>Carrera GT
>Zenvo
and that made a dent in the sales how?

>>17350931
I assume you havent seen more photos of richard hammond

>>17350936
All Carrera GTs were already sold and Zenvo sold hardly anything at all in the first place, so I'm guessing not much.
Still, that Rimac will forever be "that electric supercar that Richard Hammond crashed and burst into flames".

It was his own mistake, going into a corner like a retard.

If anything, people who never heard about this car will definitely know about it now.

Holy fuck my heart just dropped after I read the news headline. Dude must has 9 lives...well now down to 7.

Electric cars have stronger engine brakes than IC engines the higher the RPM.

doesn't matter, brakes in any car are only as good as the rubber you buy for the wheels. energy recovery using the motor as a generator will only allow designers to use smaller disks.
