    Holy crap. Glad the driver is okay. Despite the roll cage, it never ceases to amaze me how safe these cars are, especially the Aventador. Every time I've seen one totaled, the carbon fiber monocoque is completely intact. Let's hope the driver needs minimal medical attention and makes a speedy recovery!

    That had a cage?

    Drivers side is completely compressed... Roofline is below the steering column...

    If the driver was unscathed, dumb luck may have had something to do with it...

    Looks like a driver standing next to the car (black fire suit) and it likely had a roll bar . . . or that was a hard hit to collapse the a-pillar and a cage that much.

    For mine,it looks like the driver looking at the camera whilst ignoring the man with the uniform next to him! :D

    Hard to mate a steel cage to a carbon fiber tub?
