I wonder if his car was built in a shed from two different wrecked cars. IMO it doesn't look like he was going THAT fast(maybe 70 instead of 130) as you can judge the distance from the tree to where the two halves of the car are in the wreck.

Not surprising, the car being that damaged means it took the brunt of the force.

They did import the first S8 based on the D2 A8 to the US, I see several still on the road by me.
