Summer is now already in second gear, so it’s time to show you a... season crash. We are talking about a convertible accident that saw a Porsche 911 Turbo hit a BMW 3-Series.
The crash took place in Thionville, France, where a brown 997 911 Turbo Cabriolet smashed into the driver’s door of a black E46 BMW 3 Series Convertible.

Judging by what we can see in the adjacent image, the Porsche sustained more damage than the BMW, even though its rear-engined configurations prevented it from having its motor affected by the unfortunate happening.

We’re all saying that the Porsche 911 has the engine in the wrong place, but, this time, it was exactly where you’d want it.
