Hi,
gleamed these pics from the net this morning,not sure how old they are or exactly where it is but I'm guessing someone will have some more info to add,
I don't know any other details
think the speedo reading says it all...........
cheers

Ouch, good to see the ROPS worked. If they were in a standard Troopy they'd be dead.

You can just see under the rear window when it's on the tray a V8 Turbo sticker.  Cant say I'd want to be doing that speed in one of those   ;D

I call fake on the instrument cluster photo.

I've heard of mechancial speedos jamming at the approximate speed, but every single gauge in an electronic dash?

Then again the digital odometer is not on, so is it a built in crash feature for post crash investigations?

Plus I would have expected more damage at 160km/h or the car to be further away...

I watched a car crash investigation show on Foxtel and they talked about this. If the g-force of the accident is high enough it will freeze the gauges.

Interesting to note an absence of skid marks in the last photo too  ???

Possible combination of speed and other "performance enhancing substances" perhaps???
