    Writing off your parents car is never a good idea if you want to remain in their good books.

    But for one 20-year-old driver crashing Dad's pride and joy landed him in particularly hot water as the runabout in question was a £275,000 supercar.

    The young motorist lost control of the 225mph Gumpert Apollo as he went round a bend, leaving body parts strewn across the road - and the driver's door 100 feet away.



    A lot of explaining: This is the wreckage that was left after the 19-year-old crashed his father's Gumpert Apollo in Brokdorf, Germany


    Amazingly, the driver and his 19-year-old woman passenger emerged from the gutted wreck with only minor injuries.

    The car was written off in the crash which happened near the German town of Brokdorf, 50 miles north of Hamburg.

    The Gumpert Apollo became the fastest car ever to go round the Top Gear track when it was tested by the Stig in 2008. He took it round in 117.1.

    Only the £1.6 million Bugatti Veyron and Ariel Atom track car going faster since.

    A police spokesperson said: 'The car is a total loss - only the passenger cabin remained virtually intact.'

    Authorities are investigating whether the young motorist was speeding when he lost control of the car so spectacularly on the 50mph road.

    The Gumpert Apollo is one of the world's fastest and most exotic supercars.

    It will accelerate from 0-62mph (100kph) in just 2.8 seconds and do 0-124mph in 8.8 seconds - before topping out at 225mph.



    Supercar: The Gumpert Apollo as it should look. Three years ago it became the fastest ever car to go around the Top Gear track - only two cars have beaten it since
