With much spectacle and shots was last night in the world famous 1000 horsepower strong Audi RS6 DTM gejackt. Just a few hours later he was completely burned out found. What was the motive behind this action?
History
The DTM began its life in 2013 as a ‘regular’ RS6 Avant with 560 hp, which freesyle-skieer, Betsafe brand, and petrolhead Jon Olsson bought. After his souped-up R8, he found the time for a new Gumball project, and here came this radical RS6 DTM. After the Gumball bought the Dutchman Douwe Leitner him for his car company, and last night was the car in the East of Amsterdam on location for filming, where Leitner himself was present.
The owner was sitting at gas station Kriterion on the IJburglaan with running engine, on the driver’s seat to wait on some cameras that amazed were, when an unknown number of men in a white VW Transporter came up several times in the air shot, and the car plus keys crucifixion. Although the RS6 keyless go has told Leitner that the keys are there-standing, and polished himself in agony the plate, as he says towards the camera AT5.
The thieves tore then full throttle the Zeeburgertunel by with the RS6, only 3 to 4 hours after the car was burnt out in a car park at the Nachtwachtlaan in 020-Gaza found. It was such a rush job that the thieves do not even bother with names yet just the rims. Estimated damage: about 400,000 euros. The RS6 only, of course.
Getaway Car
Your first impression on the question, ‘why?’ is probably ‘as a getaway car for a crime’. However, to get there you take a relatively anonymous car, the unique Audi RS6 is even harder in the streets than a KKK pointed hat on Kwakoe or Opel on the Wörthersee-treffen.
In addition, not only was a stolen VW Transporter (if aanrijvervoer) are offered – for the risk to steal had to be entered into – but eventually the thieves ran off with a quick, but furthermore for the daily practice totally unusable car without a key. This means that you, as soon as you turn off the ignition, an appeal must do on creative methods to the car to get it.
Moreover, it was the fuel tank as good as empty, and of course lust as a car or a sip of peut. May saw the thieves shortly after their jack-move also in how stupid their action was, in fact, because the same night was Jon Olssons ex in a parking lot in New-West burnt out on found, like I said. Oddly enough there was a tracking device on the car. May be trusted the owner on the onderscheidendheid of the car as a theft protection.
The theft has all the hallmarks of a planned action, which the question does arise as to whether the robbers the theft really no further thought had than the moment at which the car owned got. If there are arrests to follow, then we hear this, probably.
If they well even directly searching all day for Brink’s for a large public TRANSPORT than I could even imagine, but now it comes down to is that an expensive car is gejackt for a joyride of a few kilometres and then in the fire to be put. It seems to me a lot of trouble for a few minutes ride in a 1000 hp cannon. Unfortunately, the cannon only a burnt out piece of scrap (photo credit: AT5)
Possible scenario
With the help of our hard-camera-Talibanstrijder Martijn we turned a possible scenario in each: group kansenpareltjes steals Tansporter van and comes with straps on the path to a pump to come in. Once arrived there, or en route to their actual target, mentioned gems the RS6 that they are all of autoblog know, and decide, then bring it to the next pump… You should, after all, do have fun with your work. Played = fire in it, for thus do they do that always with evidence.
No viral
Douwe Leitner recommended to us late last night is already on the heart that is here not there is a promotiestunt, something that, given the politiemeldingen all was not likely, and after the burn out of the car only but unlikely to become.
Also drove the car during the shooting last night on green plates, which is not formally allowed. A speed is only for test drives. Let’s hope for Leitner that his insurer it is going to do. (Small update, according to the RDW: The use of commercial number plates must be directly related to your company’s specified business activities. So not for uitleendoeleinden. Red: strictly speaking, not only for test drives, but everything with the possible sale may have. Movies can belong to.)
Meanwhile at autojunk a kind of book of condolence for the RS6 DTM arise, with spotlights, and videos of when he was still in. At this: RIP RS6 DTM.
