Dramatic pictures show how a Volkswagen driver mounted a DBS sports car worth around £200,000 outside an Aston Martin dealership.
The humiliating crash took place in Wilmslow, Cheshire on Tuesday afternoon in front of shocked onlookers.
Images show the rear end of the grey Volkswagen Tiguan perched on top of the expensive sports car which was on display in front of the luxury dealership, while police and staff inspect the damage.
The DBS suffered a huge dent in its bonnet and saw one of its headlights smashed in the bizarre collision.
Cheshire Police said it was investigating how it happened and confirmed no one was injured in the crash. No arrests have been made.
The Aston Martin DBS, made famous by the James Bond films, can hit top speeds of 211 miles per hour and features a 360 degree camera, a touch pad as well as keyless entry.

The Volkswagen Tiguan involved in the crash can be bought for around £33,000 while the Aston Martin super car it mounted is worth £200,000.

In 2007, the British motoring show Top Gear sent the Aston Martin DBS around their famous test track and recorded a lap time of 1:23.9.
This was 3.2 seconds faster than its predecessor the Vanquish S, and a second faster than the comparable Bentley Continental Supersports.
Aston Martin's DBS also appeared as James Bond's car of choice in Casino Royale.
For his debut as the British Secret Service agent, Daniel Craig was seen getting in and out of the high performance car throughout the 21st film in the James Bond series.
The vehicle was removed from the sports car, worth around £200,000
Although no one was hurt, Cheshire Police were called to the scene

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: 'At 4.37pm on Tuesday 7 May police on patrol in Wilmslow came across of a grey Volkswagen Tiguan which had mounted the bonnet of a blue Aston Martin outside a dealership on Water Lane, Wilmslow.
'Both vehicles have been recovered and enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident. No arrests have been made.'
This is not the first time a careless driver has been mocked for 'parking' unconventionally.
An SUV 'climbed' a tree in Birchington-on-Sea in February of this year.
Pictures show the back wheels of the black car balancing in the branches of the tree whilst its bumper is wedged against the garden wall of a nearby house.
In April a Land Rover was pictured colliding with a lamppost and flattening it to the ground in central London.

Commenting on the shocking images, one social media user wrote: 'If you buy an off road vehicle clearly you are going to use it off the road.'
Someone else added: 'Not sure why it was decided to park there, but people do strange things.'
Another said: 'Can't park there mate.'
