Skeet Shooting Aboard a Porsche 911 Turbo Targa 930
Precision skeet shooting takes a lot of skill normally, but much more so when the clay trap thrower is attached to a wildly drifting Porsche 911 Turbo Targa 930 model. In the insane video below, British professional sharpshooter Philip Thorrold demonstrates his legendary shooting talent while tracking down and annihilating clay disks flung from the 930 Turbo! His team has mounted a clay pot thrower with explosive disks to the front trunk of the car, making a dynamic experience for the driver, Phillip, and YouTube watchers alike.
The right-hand drive British model Porsche 911 Turbo Targa 930 model looks like it’s one of Phillip’s personal cars, judging by the work done and by the way the Porsche tears up the grassy farmland (which appears to be Thorrold’s U.K. estate). It looks to be a gorgeous triple black 930 model with black exterior paint, black leather, and a black roof. Love triple black Porsches. It’s even better when you’re ordering a Porsche and you tell the dealer, “Yes, let’s make it a triple black Turbo Targa.”
The air-cooled turbo 3.3-liter six-cylinder engine peaks power at around 300 HP, which runs through a 5-speed manual gearbox that still looks ever-ready and peppy, just like the day it rolled off the assembly line. The clay pot thrower actually seems like it balances out the rear-engine 911 pretty well. Great driver drift action.
The video truly captures Thorold’s gift of expert hand/eye coordination. Just like a racing driver, a pro baseball player hitting 100 MPH fastball, and jet fighters locating targets, this gentleman has the skill to thrill. Watch Thorrold as you can see he moves his body and his eyes smoothly, quickly, and deliberately.
Have you ever attached a clay pot thrower to a mobile device? Please say no. What about driving your Porsche off-road? Or do you know of any doctored Porsches with McGyver-type hardware attached? Let us know!
