There’s always been something magical about Porsches. Perhaps its their ability to mix motorsport genes with everyday usability or maybe it’s the soundtrack of their flat sixes. Regardless, today we are here to show you the... black magic side of the Zuffenhausen machines.
As always with this kind of dark practices, it is an experienced entity that performs them - we are talking about a 996 generation 911 here, most likely a GT3. The action takes place on the track (where else?) and it seems that the driver isn’t ready for the tail-happy nature of this Porsche.
The 911 doesn’t forgive its driver and pulls the rear-end-ahead move, heading for the barrier on the side of the tarmac. Instead of giving the sportscar a massive load of throttle, the driver decides to cut his losses and steps on the brakes while countersteering.
The inevitable happens moments later, with the Porsche hitting the protection elements, namely hay packed in plastic bags, placed in front of used tires secured in place by a fence.
Despite the impact, the 911 drives away as if nothing happened - truth be told, there don’t appear to be any battle scars on the car. A few moments later, the witchcraft takes place and the barrier goes up in flames.
While it’s not too difficult to figure out the hay was lit by the hot exhaust of the 911, the entire episode remains an unusual one. This could very well serve as a lesson on not biting more than you can chew while while inside an older-generation 911.
