    From the original thread, there were a couple comments that shed light on what possibly happened:

    @ramble81@lemmy.zip

    That was a BMW M440i (i recognize the wheels, color and slope of the back). It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s

    Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar

    And then @sergio@piefed.social came through with the link for launch control:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_control_(automotive)

    Launch control is an electronic aid to assist drivers of both racing and street cars to accelerate from a standing start. Motorcycles have been variously fitted with mechanical and electronic devices for both street and race.
