Megane RS Smashes into Deer at 180 KM/H

There you are, chasing a a sportscar in your French hot hatch at the Nurburgring, like any Mergane RS owner want to. You're carving up the corners, accelerating hard out of them with the help of your limited slip differential.

The 2-liter turbo is screaming at the top of its lungs, delivering all 265 of its available horsepower. So what do you guys think would happen if a deer came out of nowhere? Obviously, at 180 km/h there's no time to react and swerve to avoid it.

The wild animal is hit while in the air, which lands it on the hood and probably gives the driver one heck of a scare.

The Nurburgring is built through a heavily wooded area, so hitting wildlife is actually quite common.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
