. Notice the Viper and 911 in the background of one of the pictures? They must have been on a high speed cruise and the NSX driver overcooked the turn.

EDIT: at the bottom of the pic there are tire mark's so if he did come from where the camera person is standing he/she turned sharply right.

Yeah, but wouldnt the car have to been coming from where the Viper and 911 are at for it to do that and end up where it did?

Must've been the high centre of gravity and the fact that those vehicles are not meant to be driven fast!

Re: Name this car - undertray edition (CanuckPal)
My armchair forensics:
The wheels are also turned right, looks like "he" was over-correcting a little tail slide.
It looks to be a decreasing radius turn with a sandy outer lip.
The driver may not have been familiar with the road and mistaken it for a left hand sweeper. Trying a high line through the turn, the gravel helped the rear end got a little loose and in panic the driver overcorrected to the right. The front driver corner of the car sank into the soft shoulder and the car flipped and rotated like a top to land on the rear/driver's rear section first, then settled as seen in the photos.
Of course, he also may have been coming from the other direction and simply missed the turn and rolled horizontally off the road.
edit- just wanted to add how lucky they were they didn't hit the tree! Even at 45 mph a solid trunk would tear that car into pieces

Looks like everyone is OK.
