First 2012 Porsche 911 (991) Crash: Photo and Video

2012 Porsche 911 crashed
The arrival of a new 911 is always going to be big news in the car wold. But this car, the 991 generation, is al-new from the ground up. The steering is electric, the chassis is longer and wider and the engine has been moved ever so slightly forward. It all sound like an ideal combination, but there’s always going to be a weak link when it comes to Porsches and sporscars in general, and that is driver skill.
Today, we have to report another first for the new 911: the first ever crash that’s been reported. This is pretty important, since customers have only been getting their hands on the Carrera and Carrera S for little more than a month.

According to Autoblog.nl, the river of this brand new sportscar came together with a Volvo V50 on this very narrow street, straddled the sidewalk and collided with a wall. The video provided by Van Buggenum Media shows the car suffered quite severe damage to the front end, but one which looks fixable.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
