Anyone with a passion for supercars would like a powerful Porsche. Things don’t always go as expected. Seeing is believing.
After so much effort to find the model of your dreams, there is nothing worse than experiencing a technical problem on a supercar. To remedy a breakdown you need a lot of moneybut in this case it will take a real engineering miracle to get this fireball back on track.
The owner of a workshop in Arizona, USA, was informed that a magnificent Porsche 911 GT3 was arriving for delivery. A limited edition example had finally been found, but no one expected it to be in scrap condition. The car from the Stuttgart company arrived under a tarpaulin. The guys at the workshop were already rubbing their hands waiting to put the GT3 on the road, but they made an unpleasant discovery. Here are the historic models that will retire in 2024.
The car was not only not ready to rumble, but was completely destroyed. The car in question has an age of 10 years. Certain cars should be treated with kid gloves and only squeezed on the track by pro drivers. Too often there are videos of dangerous actions on everyday roads on the web. Supercars are the maximum expression of engineering applied to four wheels. They are created by expert pilots for authentic handles. With too much superficiality, wealthy collectors buy cars they don’t know how to drive.
A Porsche 911 GT3 features impressive power. To tame it requires a lot of experience. It is not clear how so many millionaires spend exorbitant amounts of money on the purchase of exclusive supercars and then do not invest in driving courses worth a few thousand euros with driving instructors. The brutality of a GT3 must be understood on the track alongside professionals. The possibility of losing control, especially on poorly asphalted or poorly drained roads, is very high. It doesn’t take much to cause serious damage.
Porsche, shocking surprise
The 3.8-liter flat-six engine pumps out 475 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. Record power directed to the rear axle through a 7-speed PDK gearbox for acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds to reach a top speed of 315 km/h. For now the only speed of movement of this car is the peak reached on the tow truck that transported it to the workshop. The images showcased on the Azcycleparts IG page are horrifying. All that appears to be left intact in this Porsche are the passenger door and window, as well as the rims and yellow brake calipers.
The 911 GT3 appeared in the video on a forklift, with the engine dismantled, in very poor condition. It will involve a total technical reset. It will need an engine transplant and a total rebuild of some components. Several panels were found to be crumpled and in need of replacement. It is not known how the owner shattered this GT3 but, given the damage, it probably spun at high speed, hitting several points and hitting the rear heavily and then overturning.
We would like, as enthusiasts, that this scenario for a Porsche never happens again. Unfortunately, those who buy certain cars don’t do it to go slowly. All it takes is one risky maneuver to find yourself upside down and with a very high bill to pay.
