Video footage shows a driver and passenger speeding at some 200 miles per hour just seconds before their vehicle crashes killing them instantly.

The incident took place in Liujiang, China's Anhui province on January 28.  

In the footage, the conditions also appear to be extremely foggy. 

Destroyed: The roof of the vehicle was completely damaged in the horrifying crash

Horrifying: Just seconds after the footage was taken, the vehicle crashed killing both inside

Disturbing: Before the crash the driver could be heard asking how fast he was going

The footage was taken by the passenger of the Audio A8 while the driver was speeding some 200 miles per hour.

A male voice can be heard reading out the speed metre as the driver accelerated. 

At one point, the car dangerously overtakes a lorry and a car.  

Both the passenger and the driver were reportedly killed in the crash. They were said to be thrown from the vehicle. 

Photos from the aftermath show the front of the vehicle completely smashed.  The roof has caved in and completely crumpled. 

In the footage, visibility on the road is clearly low as the car makes it way overtaking countless vehicles. 

According to Autohome.com.cn, the average price of an Audi A8 is on average is over 2.1 million yuan (£250,000). 

After pictures of the crash were posted onto the Chinese social media, people have pointed out that the supercar did not have a number plate, meaning the man had been driving an unlicensed vehicle on the motorway.
