Tuned Audi RS4 Blows Up Gearbox

Modifying your car is a smart move, but only if the customization process comes with clear limits that protect the vehicle’s hardware and if you don’t abuse the goodies afterwards. However, there are many cases in which drivers don’t follow these rules, with their tuned cars being the ones that pay the price.
We’ve brought a video that offers you an example of this, with the footage showing us an Audi RS4 that blows up its gearbox during a hooning session.

The clip, which came to us via Youtube user cvdzijden shows a previous-generation Audi RS4 destroying its six-speed manual gearbox during a hot lap on the Spa Francochamps F1 track. The vehicle had been heavily modified and it seems that using it in the “full throttle” mode lap after lap was just too much for the poor manual.
