Yes, like Quattro can magically overcome the law of physics. Still, it looks like a photochop. Like others have mentioned, there are few skid marks, if any. Plus, I believe if you drove onto gravel/sand at any kind of speed, there would be sand or dirt stuck on the car and on the tires.

BMW should respond with an RS4 that's smashed head-on into a pole. "This is what happens when you drive a nose-heavy AWD vehicle."

As a former BMW and Audi owner I did some unintentional "off-roading" with both cars. With the Audis I was able to drive back onto the pavement-with my BMW I needed a towtruck.

Those will never happen to a Lexus.



Because they don't have enough power in the first place
