Mk4 Toyota Supra Violently Rolled, Reportedly During Test Drive

A classic Toyota Supra's brutal rollover was caught on camera in Colorado during what was rumored to be a test drive by a mechanic.

Apparently, A shop out of Colorado. The video is gut wrenching...

ouch... gonna be an expensive mistake for the mechanic

 

[affixrider]

Yeah local guy. Trying to get details of it now

Seen this doing the rounds.

Torsen strikes again. Looks identical to how I wrecked my first Supra.

Facebook people claim it had 17k miles and it’s from Colorado. Not sure if it’s true or not yet. Either way it sad to see a Supra like this.
Edit: 17,000 miles just read the article!

So absolutely gut wrenching for the owner

I dont think there is a single panel or part on it that is undamaged.

Ive never seen a flanged intercooler pipe like that before either

Built car like that, has to be on a standalone. Every modern standalone has traction control, either ignition cut, fuel cut, or both. You can integrate the DBW into it as well. It’s simple logic comparing drive wheel speed to driven wheel speed. Wouldn’t the traction control step in, and shut it down? Or was traction control disarmed above a certain speed?

This is a super old build, I doubt it had any kind of active TC.

Total nightmare. Careless shops are a big reason why I've always done my own work. I'm sure they treat a lot of their customer's cars like that, but they got caught this time.
If it weren't for the video capturing it all they probably would have insisted the owner had it towed it in like that.

Hopefully the shop's owner pays up.

 

[Mr Ree NZ]

Hopefully the shop's owner pays up.

I agree, but where would you even start on negotiating a value on something like that, in todays market?

I guess the shop can at least be relieved that it didnt happen a year ago at the peak of the covid market, as replacement cost would be to the moon

 

[Mr Ree NZ]

Just read in the comments on Reddit that the owner bought it brand new in 97, and it had never been driven in the rain

Talk about making an already horrible situation, almost unbearable

 

[HotSoup]

Sickening...

 

[Biologist]

power pulls on the cold street = recipe for disaster...

 

[S&W 500]

I wonder if the owner is registered here.

He must be ballistic to say the least.

 

[CosmicState]

And the Supra prices go up with every crash. Hurts to see this video. 😳

 

[TurboTurtle]

Every aspect of this story keeps getting more terrible

 

[signalpuke]

Bespoke Motorsports (insurance claims) in Colorado according to social media.

 

[Blakbird]

I can't imagine what the owner is going through.

 

[ArmoSup]

I'd be devastated. Damn. A lot of power and cold tires ... recipe.

I almost threw up watching that video ...
