Wow, amazing that the tub is still very much in tact. It says a lot about the strength of the body.

Oh, and that'll buff right out.

This is not a 997TT. different exhaust and lack of slots behind the rear wheels. it does have turbo wheels though.

Holy crap that's serious, but not many cars would hold together like that one did...

Hope the driver has a full recovery though.

Good to know that the driver came out alive. Hope we never see that kind of stuff anymore. This says alot about the crash tests Porsche goes through. To all members, drive safely.
