BMW XM Gunning For Lamborghini's Record At Pikes Peak Fails In Spectacular Fashion | Carscoops

Thankfully, driver Matt Mullins escaped the crash unscathed but the same can't be said for the BMW XM he piloted car auto cars

After setting off with quite a bit of gusto, XM Red Label driver Matt Mullins actually got the back end of the big SUV loose on the very first turn of his run. That would prove to be a foreshadowing moment as about 20 minutes later commentators announced that he’d crashed. The BMW rolls by the camera with heavy damage to the front and shattered rear glass as well. There’s no word on exactly what went wrong just yet.

BMW released the following statement: “Unfortunately, our hopes for a record run with the BMW XM today ended with a race incident. Driver Matt Mullins is disappointed but unhurt. The focus now is on repairing the vehicle and planning for another record attempt later this summer.”with a bit of positive fanfare. Long-time Pikes Peak racer Rhys Millen scored a new production car record in the BMW M8 with a total time of just 10:12.
