Brand new 911 crushed into a cube - what happened next?

[456GT]

Saw this video a few years ago but does anybody know what became of this car? Is it still displayed somewhere?

WTF!?

What was that all about?

Could be a development car, they're scrapped when finished with, otherwise could be equivalent of Cat A or B where it gets scrapped.

It's quite likely it was a pre-production car. The finished cube was on display in a museum for a while but I wonder where it is now. May even be worth more now as a 'work of art'...

Didn't they used to crush cars belonging to certain criminals who'd bought them using the ill gotten gains. There was a good reason why it was crushed if this wasn't the case though. Seems a damn shame if it was a perfectly serviceable car, though it could be a development hack , ie 991 running gear on a 997 body.
