That Orange R8 is Audi India's Media/Test Drive Car, not sure of the other cars.

What are they trying to do by letting the engine run when the cars are submerged under so much water?!

That's because of short circuit due to water ingress. You can see the headlights on for the orange R8 (lights on the Q7 doors). You can read about a similar experience shared by GTO below.

A look up on the registration number says that at least one R8 belonged to VW themselves. They are registered in their names and I hear that they were used for "media" purposes. It is possible that they left their cars outside and customer's cars inside.

The silver R8 is a customer car

Damage looks serious. Hope no one was injured.

Its a G63 AMG. I have a video of the car after the crash, but not sure if I should share it.

Saw this parked on the corner near the Patalamma street at 0900. Someone was in the driver seat and a couple of police speaking to him.
