by Wet track and lack of traction control led to a Porsche 911 Turbo slipping.
During the race, the modified 911 crashed into a concrete barrier after losing control.
The top screen is unlikely to cover this crash since it happened on the track.
Armed with a powerful twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive, the 911 Turbo is one of the fastest cars on the planet from point A to point B. Nevertheless, one driver in the Netherlands crashed into a wall at high speed attempting a drag race against the Brabus E63 AMG.
The crash occurred during a recent Auto Madness event at the TT Circuit of Assen, likely best known as the venue for MotoGP championship stages. During the event, many cars competed in a series of drag races, including this 911 Turbo and the Brabus 800.
Watch:
The all-wheel-drive system allows the car to hold the road well, rocketing off the line in most cases. However, the road was wet during the event, and the driver apparently turned off the traction control system. As it turned out, this was likely not a good idea.
After starting, the 911 Turbo began to slide both front and rear wheels, but the driver didn’t lift their foot off the gas pedal. A few moments later, the rear end broke away, sending the car to the right. The driver hit the brakes, but it was too late. The 911 crashed into a concrete barrier on the side of the straight, activating the roll bars instantly and shattering the rear window.
The damage appears to be significant. You’ll certainly notice that the front bumper was shattered into pieces, as well as one of the headlights and the front wing. Both wheels are also damaged, along with a part of the front fender.
Crashing a car in this manner on the road is already bad, but insurance policies usually don’t cover damage that occurs on the track. We hope the owner of this 911 can repair or replace the car.
