At least half a dozen other websites have "discovered" that Ferrari F12 we found last week. It seems the internet has a taste for our flavor of carnage, so we decided to serve another plate today. It's a brand new Porsche 911 Turbo S that looks like it's been crashed into a barrier.
Built in January 2014, this car was probably one of the first 911 Turbo S models ordered in Germany. Considering the base price and all the options we see on it, the twin-turbo supercar used to be worth about €200,000.
A year of ownership and 14,000 kilometers may hurt its residual value a little bit, but the real problem is the damage. It starts at the front, where the entire front bumper is torn to shreds, but most of the damage is to the side.
A 2-inch gash tears through the bodywork from one end of the car to the other, leaving artistic-looking scars though the door and fenders. We've never seen anything like this!
It's almost like a T-Rex decided to eat whatever was inside the supercar and used one of its claws to tear the Porsche a new one as if it were an oversized can of sardines. Jurassic World was somehow less than what we expected. Sure, it had the awesome special effects and a funny leading man, but it lacked the wow factor.
Maybe instead of all those dinosaurs roaming through the jungle, they should have let them escape into a densely populated city and go all Godzilla on the place.
Any crashed car is like an anatomy lesson for all those interested. For example, we can see how big the front radiator is on the Porsche 911 Turbo, about twice the size of what it would be on a Carrera. Inside, we get to see what happens to the leather on the steering wheel when the airbag tears though it. And yes, that does look like real leather.
Despite the heavy damage, the car is repairable. The only question is: who will pay nearly €100,000 for this heap of Porsche rubble and love it as it if were new?
