AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/14 Report--

In early March this year, a video of the collision between the Phantom of Rolls-Royce and Polar Star 2 was circulated on the Internet, which aroused netizens' attention and heated discussion.

The related video shows that a Rolls-Royce Phantom with Su U license plate drove out from the exit of the district and tried to turn left across the side lane to the opposite lane, while a straight-going Polar Star 2 appeared from the left side of the screen. it crashed into the right rear wheel of the Phantom of Rolls-Royce, causing serious damage to two cars.

Judging from the photos at the scene of the accident, the damage to the Rolls-Royce Phantom is still quite serious. in addition to the damage to the left door and rear fender, the right rear wheel of the vehicle has been deformed under the huge impact, and the suspension system has also been damaged. the whole door is close to collapsing and the whole car airbag explodes. According to the damage level of a Rolls-Royce Phantom crashing into the left front corner, the maintenance cost of this Rolls-Royce Phantom is probably astronomical. Let's take a look at Polar Star 2, which is much better than the Phantom of Rolls-Royce. Its front cabin is seriously deformed and collapsed, but the A-pillar is not bent and the crew cabin is intact, but the airbags are all ejected. At that time, according to the video of the accident, some netizens thought that Rolls-Royce was likely to take full responsibility.

According to the latest report of Litchi News, when driving a certain section of the road, he found that the traffic light had changed to a yellow light, so he accelerated to 100 km / h and forced through it in order to get through in front of the red light. At this time, Wang drove the Phantom of Rolls-Royce out of the parking lot next to the road, ready to turn left and turn into the main road, and the two cars collided at the intersection.

After police investigation, it was determined that Hua's driving vehicle ignored safety and continued to drive without crossing the stop line when the yellow light was on at an intersection controlled by traffic lights, and then speeding on the speed limit section, which was the main cause of the accident, so Hua needed to bear the main responsibility for the accident and was fined 2200 yuan in addition to vehicle damage. As for the Rolls-Royce Phantom driver Wang, he has to bear the secondary responsibility for the accident because he did not observe the road conditions when driving the vehicle into the road.

For top luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce, even a little scratch accident can lead to sky-high maintenance fees, so for such car accidents, many netizens speculate that Rolls-Royce damage will reach millions. It is understood that the Rolls-Royce Phantom model in the domestic price of 5.05 million yuan, power equipped with 6.6T V12 engine, maximum power 633 horsepower, maximum torque 820N m, matching 8-block self-integrated gearbox. It is understood that the accident caused Rolls-Royce Phantom car damage of 1.85 million yuan, of which Hua Mou bears 70%, in addition to the insurance compensation part, it needs to bear 300000 yuan of compensation.

In addition to the direct loss of the vehicle, the Phantom of Rolls-Royce may also bear the indirect loss caused by the devaluation of the vehicle. For this kind of luxury car, which sells for as much as millions of dollars, even after the large car damage is repaired, it will face a high devaluation of used cars. If you look at the hidden rule of the luxury car second-hand market that "how much money you have repaired, how much money you will depreciate", the Rolls-Royce owners have indeed suffered a lot of losses this time.

At present, there are more and more luxury cars on the road, and many ordinary family cars will avoid them when they see luxury cars, because in the event of an accident, dozens or even millions of maintenance fees are unaffordable for many consumers. Of course, accidents are often inevitable, so drivers need to abide by the law, do not violate traffic laws and regulations to avoid unnecessary accidents, and it is best to maintain the necessary safety distance from luxury cars.
