Porsche not safe, more fun and games for VW
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
It was hard to drive model without modern electronic stability controls, if they were doing 90 mph as investigators for police say, and subjectively the guy from Fast & Furious movies isn't likely to travel slow (even though it was not him driving but his friend in THAT kind of car won't be doing 60).
I don't think cars are even tested at head on crashes at 60 mph, all bets are off at that speed.
I can't see her winning, but Porsche might choose to settle it, which is probably what this all is about, sad. -
It's a sportscar designed to be driven at speeds of up to 180mph ish. While it's not going to reach those speeds in the vast majority of countries/cases, it shouldn't burst into flames in a crash at half that.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Carrera GT is notorious (apparently) for requiring very skilled driver because it's unforgiving car, especially at speed.Comment

Ah, didn't realise it was a GT and not a standard 911 of whatever spec (the Turbo S looks fantastic).The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

I was working at the Porsche R&D centre in Weissach when these came out. My office was about 150m away from the test track and all day long you could hear these things being thrashed around the test track although when just ticking over they sounded like a big old diesel (my car does too when started from cold.) On my way to work I drive near the Porsche factory and not too far from the R&D place so quite often see some nice top of the range Porsche's and also the AMG and Mercedes factories so you get to see quite a few of their prototypes on the roads around here....“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
