The Porsche 911 GT3 might be one of the best-performing vehicles you can buy for (reasonable) supercar money, but Zuffenhausen has yet to invent the optional extra that allows the driver to defy the laws of physics.
Such a feature would've probably been the only possible thing that would've prevented the 991-generation GT3 in the video below from crashing.

As you'll be able to see in the footage, the driver of the Neunelfer seems to defy any form of common sense behind the wheel, putting the vehicle in a situation where a total loss, which is the result of this twisted episode, is the only potential outcome.

For starters, the man decided to skip the GT3's track aura and use his Porsche to race on the streets. The 911 GT3 is seen following a host of supercars traveling at serious speeds on a coastal road.

However, the Lamborghini Aventador, Lamborghini Murcielago and Porsche 911 GT3 RS PDK we see flying across the road before the Porsche enters the frame, all take their time to brake before a twist in the road, which, by the way, was visible from afar, especially given the broad daylight conditions.

Well, the Porsche doesn't, entering the bend at a rate of speed that makes notions such as oversteer or understeer irrelevant - the velocity of the car means inertia simply threw it on the exterior of the bend - this is why misjudging your entry speed, even by an unimaginable margin such as the one seen here, is an error that must be reserved for the circuit.

The 911 GT3 hit a wall and flipped, with the vehicle's airbags obviously being deployed. The details are limited at the moment, so while we're not sure about the exact whereabouts of the accident, we can tell you the driver reportedly survived the crash. But we obviously can't say the same about the car, which means the world now has one less 911 GT3.
