Audi RS6 gets destroyed after a failed robbery attempt

Yesterday, a robbery attempt by an armed gang ended in an accident in which only the criminals’ Audi RS6 was involved. The saloon was used by the armed thieves to stop a lorry on the E4 in the Fredhäll tunnel in Stockholm. However, the German super-saloon was no match for the lorry, and the thieves only managed to wreck their own vehicle. The remains of the car were left on the E4, while the perpetrators fled on foot.

The police are still searching for the criminals after they fled the scene of the robbery attempt at gunpoint. According to witnesses, three men got out of the Audi RS6, all three wearing black masks and carrying at least one automatic weapon. Twenty police patrol cars and a helicopter were sent to the area, but the men were not found.

The police stated that the impact suffered by the Audi RS6 was enough to leave the vehicle immobilised. As far as robbery attempts go, this one will probably go down in the history books as one of the least successful. Fortunately, nobody was injured.

This is not the first time a criminal has tried to get away with it using a 560 CV Audi RS6, but it seems it is not the right car for the job, as they always fail. Could it be the weight?
