wow, bummer, i wonder what may have caused him to die on the spot. Safety of the car? G's? Hate how the front end of the LFA looks like paper shreds while the bimmer looks like it was in an accident vs a paper shredder

That's how it's supposed to look, it's called a crumple zone for a reason. Not to mention the ripples in the CF roof, all of it is energy that hasn't been transferred to me as far as I'm concerned.

The car was a test version and either didn't have airbags, or they were disabled at the time (due to him just being on the track previously, or on his way there).

Hiromu had a part in producing most of Toyota's sports cars including the Celica's, Supra's, MR2's,, Altezza, etc.
