Gone in sixty seconds... How £60,000 Audi abandoned during floods was picked apart by thieves leaving just a shell when waters subsided
This is all that is left of a £60,000 sports car abandoned by its owner when its engine stopped on a flooded road after it was ‘ripped to shreds’ by thieves.
The 4.2 litre Audi RS5 - which has a top speed of 174mph and does 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds - was ditched on a road near a railway bridge approaching the M25 in Chertsey, Surrey, last month.
In the past two weeks the grey car - which would have cost £59,350 when new - has been stripped to just a shell by vandals.
Stuck in the mud: This £60,000 sports car was abandoned by its owner when its engine stopped on a flooded road and within a fortnight was 'ripped to shreds' by thieves
Stripped: Within just a few days of the car being abandoned, its bonnet, wing mirrors and lights had all gone
Gregg Watkins, who spotted the Audi just two days after it was abandoned, said it was ‘incredible’ how fast it had been stripped.
He said: 'When I first drove past it, it looked perfect, but within a few days the bonnet, wing mirrors and lights had gone.
'Over the course of the next two weeks the car was stripped to the bone and is pretty now just a shell with nothing left worth taking.'
Costly: When new the Audio would have cost its owner £59,350
Concern: Photographs of the abandoned car have appeared on various websites
Then and now: The sports car was abandoned by the owner after its engine cut out during the flood
He added: 'The owner must have just have seen the state of it, stuck a claim in with his insurers and left it to them to deal with it.'
Photographs of the abandoned car have appeared on various websites, including AutoBant and Zero2Turbo, in the past two weeks showing the remains of the one powerful car.
'From a stunning car worth a couple of years’ wages it been ripped to shreds to nothing,' said one unnamed motorist who posted a version of the picture.
'The poor owner will hopefully get a new car on his insurance, but he’ll be wishing he never drove through that puddle.'
