Mechanic Bins 1000-HP A80 Supra on Test Drive

A local mechanic in Englewood, Colorado was captured on video losing control of a customer’s highly modified A80 Toyota Supra during a test drive on Monday, resulting in a brutal rollover crash and ejection from the vehicle. Footage of the incident shows the driver miraculously walking away from the crash.

The clip, uploaded to Instagram user Trey Grube, starts with some shots chasing the iconic JDM sports car as it approaches slower traffic ahead. As the driver gets close to the Volvo C30 in their way, they swing into the right lane and begin to push the throttle to the floor. As the turbocharged 2JZ-GTE engine builds boost, the rear tires break loose. A source familiar with the incident confirmed the driver was an employee of the local shop Bespoke Motorsports.

After the car is punted off the road at speed, it crashes through a concrete barrier and onto the local rail line. This pitches the car into the air, where it begins to roll several times before coming to rest against a train. The driver was ejected from the vehicle during one of the rolls, as they weren’t wearing a seatbelt during the crash, Carbuzz reports. The driver was transported to the hospital after the crash and is "completely okay," The Drive reports.

The Supra was pushing almost 1000 horsepower before its crash, a source said. Social media commenters who claim to be familiar with the build say the car had just over 17,000 miles on the clock.

Bespoke Motorsports declined to comment on this story.
