Here is what google translation says:

The driver of the R8 GT Heilbronner mark was short after 13 clock at high speed between the junction and thought Altmühltal village in Munich on the road and came on the damp but not wet road for reasons still unknown reasons into a skid. In the course of 400 meters, it bounced several times against the median barrier and right before the car totally damaged on the hard shoulder came to a halt.

was not much left of the Audi R8 GT.
The man jumped from his car, the R8 GT immediately went up in flames. The arriving firefighters Denkendorf, Kipfenberg Lenting and cleared from the car. Several emergency services and an ambulance were there, a rescue helicopter was able to turn back - the driver got out of his car was almost undamaged.

The damage to the sports cars amounted to 200,000 €, which demolished the barriers and road damage amounts to around 10,000 €.

In the night to 8 September this year was at a gas station in Eichstätt also an Audi R8 caught fire and burnt out. At that time the police suspected a technical defect, the damage amounted to 215,000 €.
