Worst bit has to be the end where it becomes clear why it was done. Numpty.

I wonder what the 'artist' is trying to portray with his 'work'?

Almost brought tears to my eyes. What a waste of a beautiful car.

I thought it was a protest about engine failures at first....like the guy in the US who peppered his 996 with bullets.

You don't see the guy drive the car at the beginning do you....

[Xstyle]

he obviously has a gripe vs Porsche! I wish I hadn't seen that now...

This clip has been around for some while; the car used is a P2-car by Porsche AG w/o COC; so had to be scrapped anyway.

I thought that the other plinth had the oils, brake fluids from the car? I wasted three minutes of my life watching the video for the first time so not going to have another look.

Its probably an environmental 'statement' as that is on trend isnt it? End of the sports car? End of consumption? End of waste?

Clearly, hes a fking genius.

Prototype of some description?
I know most car makers dispose of cars once tested........
There's another film on you tube of a new Touareg been disposed of.

Bit of a waste, shows how much profit the Germans are making..........

[gsewell]

Was surprised by how slowly the front crumple zone caved in!

[monthefish]

It's a 'snuff' movie

They have to be scrapped by law, since they are not fully reflective of the final production models so are not approved for road use and likely don't have final safety equipment etc. It'll all get re-cycled.

[911p]

Apparently it was a car used for R&D by Porsche which obviously has a few pre-production faults. They crush the car so that nobody can claim they have ended up with an R&D model, which is obviously filled with a few problems which the final production cars don't have.

ETA: Guyr has explained above. A more likely explanation.

The wheel centres look ok. A kettle paperweight for Christmas anyone?

Prototypes all die so no parts are recycled.
