I might be missing something, but these cars look perfectly good to me.

[@gokhanarslan4376]

This is not recycling, it means wasting world resources. There are still a lot of parts to be used in those cars.

[@christianherrmann6446]

Ganz schön nachhaltig ein Audi der noch nicht mal 10 Jahre alt ist in de Presse schieben.

[@kingjimmy4770]

Wtf most of this cars look like brand new

[@atikovi1]

Why are they destroying the airbags and glass? Such a waste.

[@DazMonkeyRc]

Die schönen Autos das tun ein als Fan in der Seele weh

[@ene1818]

Fascinating! Are the salvaged vehicle parts sold to automotive repair shops? Those Audi headlights are quite valuable, for example.

[@Private011]

I'm assuming these are defective cars? They sure as hell don't look that old.

[@KotaruKun91]

Feels like there's still a lot of components on that car being crushed that could be saved, IE lights, body panels that are commonly damaged that could be reused... Great idea but seems like it needs more.

[@darknessislight3689]

Some could be pre-production vehicles (no VIN) test vehicles and press cars in which all have to be destroyed . They’re not allowed to be sold or have parts used for regular production vehicles.

Капец надо же так филигранно А4 раздербанить, изверги, она ещё могла ездить

[@darionerat3671]

Some people don't have car at all, or they have some old junk, why they don't give them good car for exchange. This is so weird here, like they stole these vehicles and they need to get rid of them asap.

[@floeki-jekker]

achieved the memorable 444.444 km with my 2004 Peugeot 307 this week, and when I see this, it is not to see such modern cars that can last another 10 years. ( other cars in my collection ar the Volvo amazon 1970 and 1963)🙂

[@tutosebasto4157]

Quel gâchis!

[@behancakir]

It would certainly be more efficient if they give me one of those cars instead of recycling :)

[@user-cu9pz1ig6q]

Аж смотреть больно 😮

[@carsyoungtimerfreak1149]

To me this all seems very wastefull. I doubt very much whether these cars are at the end of their useful life. If so, they still contain a wealth of spares. To me it looks more a method by Audi to ensure there will be a very limited number of secondhand spares. Not very sustainable!

[@thecattherapychannel2861]

It doesn't make sense those doors and boots and bonnets are perfectly fine sell them on

[@darionerat3671]

They should wait in front of factory new cars so they will be able to destroy them. CARS in this video could be driven for 20 years more. This is without any sense

[@driftrich]

there's a lot of useful parts going to waste!

[@ttinnovations3310]

=( ..... that is hard to watch as a car lover , but old is new , to bad we can not recycle bad people to become better people

[@salavatramazanov6201]

Утилизируемые машины были свежие, модно было оставить или если уж не то разобрать на запчасти или даже на фракции сразу

[@klijnsmitguitars2979]

Why are you destroying an A8?!

[@billygr7628]

All those vehicles look like they're from the mid 2000s why are they recycling them. I'm driving a 2004 Toyota with 300k miles, I would love to have a newer suv like the ones in this video.

[@nasuhturk4780]

Biz bu araçları dünyada hiç bir yerde kolay bor şekilde alamıyoruz ama bu baronlar bir çırpıda ezip atıyor bu demek oluyorki güç bizde sizide böyle ezeriz

[@michelevalente2616]

Demolire auto pari al nuovo,ma perché?

[@frederiekdemeyer4956]

At the end of the movie I thought they were directly going to recycle the car again 🤦. What a waste of resources has been displayed here; so much room for improvement...

[@johnferraz6417]

Circular use of materials is becoming more and more viable in the car industry...since the raw source material is more difficult and expensive to acquire. The life cycle of a car both in terms of technology and payment terms of actual use...is a revolution happening now. Hopefully the 'design cycle' catches up with this trend and we may see a more innovative approach to the valuing of the concept in all products.

日本の解体工場もこれくらいなら良いんだが

[@nguyena.truong6086]

Quá lãng phí cho chiếc Audi Q7 55 TFSI màu đen.

[@garagepnkoof284]

Эти машины ещё бы 20ку проката ли бы в РБ и ваша свалка бы закрылась.

[@breolandshahini6844]

Ma dove dateci un indirizzo

[@sanderart1838]

good cars?

[@nakreb_]

tamam ama why ? :/

[@willard6978]

From heavyweight to lightweight

[@user-ci6dd8tw4o]

где ваша грета тумблер которая борется за экологию разобрать машину которая откатала 5-10 лет а могла ещё 10 откатать

[@user-gy7mm2ok4o]

저차 나줘

[@alexgarzam]

Q5 hecha en México

[@ScenesThroughTravels]

Most if not all of these vehicles will be Prototypes or Pre-Production , They cannot be sold Privately or be retailed for legal reasons. So they must be recycled for Parts. The vehicles as themselves are very worthless ....Sadly !

[@GettingNervous]

Nice, but all this is well known since decades.

[@marksidorov9365]

aaaaaaahhhhhhhh this was hard to watch

[@terrygraham5901]

That's why better best😅😮😂 american-made car

[@nolibtard6023]

This is the only way to effectively decimate the way too high number of cars on the streets. Approved.

[@nolibtard6023]

Let’s hope that most of these cars resources don’t end up in other cars, but rather in trains, buses or bikes. ☺☺

[@nolibtard6023]

Satisfying to see brand new cars being dismantled. Make them undone, as they shouldn’t exist at all, until the last car perishes.

[@nolibtard6023]

What we see is necessary for the direly needed demotorization of our society. We should applaud at this. 🙌🥳👏
