Porsche Cayman GT4 Delivery Truck Rear-Ended in Germany, At Least 6 GT4s Ruined

When a special go-fast machine like the Porsche Cayman GT4 has its first crash, the internet starts boiling and pain is always great. However, the GT division's Cayman has recently taken that to a whole new level with a first... multi-car crash. One that didn't even see one Porsche spinning a wheel.

Earlier this week, a delivery truck loaded with seven Cayman GT4s was rear-ended by another truck on the German Autobahn, with at least six of the cars being damaged in the process.

The accident, which took place on the A1 Autobahn, close to Dortmund (about 70 miles away from the Dutch border) saw the Porsche transporter slowing down due to traffic. The driver of a Dutch truck that followed didn't see the vehicle in front of him, failing to stop and rear-ending the precious cargo.

A car that was driving in the lane next to the trucks tried to avoid hitting them, but ended up plowing into another car, which blocked the highway. As you can see in the images above, which comes from Facebook user Ray Ox, the accident also caused a massive oil spill.

Three drivers were injured in the crash, while the damage was estimated at over EUR1 million (that's north of $1,12 million at the current exchange rate)

This is even more painful when you consider that the Cayman GT4 is a brilliant driving weapon with one great flaw - since Porsche's GT division only produces around 2,500 GT4s per year, these things are difficult to get a hold of.

And when you have a mid-engined Porsche with a 911 Carrera S (991.1) flat-six, 911 GT3 suspension and a six-speed manual gearbox, people lust for it.

Not only does the crash generate a delay for the owners whose cars were ruined, but with some of the GT4s here potentially being write-offs, Porsche might just have to add a few extra units to the overall production.
