(took me a while to work out)

[DucatiGary]

RMS leak in the last pic?

Good to see the all appear to have walked away unscathed!

[BliarOut]

Considering the amount of destruction to the car and the armco that passenger cell is in remarkably good nick

Nice one Porsche.

Horrible crash, but look at the structural integrity!

I had a bad one a while ago, and I'm rebuilding the car, the sierra that hit me was twisted so badly its in a scrappers.

Had I been in my Lotus I wouldnt be here...............

Look at the pic of the engine, maybe a RMS leak caused the crash (edited to add - note to self read other posts in full first)

Nice to see inside of the car pretty much intact.

As I suspected ... Ruffled Savannah interiors give the cockpit great natural integrity in a wipe out type scenario ..
No wonder I like it so much ...... !!

Ehm, the armco is designed to deform like that in order to bring the vehicle to a halt and keept it on the correct carriageway with minimal damage to the occupants. I agree the car is very crashworthy.

No honestly it didn't just pop out. It simply didn't like being thrown around and therefore thought it would lift itself from the mountings and plop down on the road, then proceed to drain itself of vital fluids.

I think I would drain myself of vital fluids if I was in the car too !

[porsche4life]

That will be a Cat D then ?

Great idea of Porsche to let the engine escape to reduce the crash momentum.
