Cool new car! Wow!

That smaller diameter shaft looks like a classic torsion failure. Assuming it was not a material defect or overloaded, it may have been a fatigue failure due to some sort of high frequency torque oscillation but hard to understand what may have caused that. Hope the next one holds up!
