Exclamation Quick I need the pic of the 944 crash test!!!

I remember there was a picture posted on here of a (light blue IIRC) 944 with mismatched wheels that was being crash tested. I need it real fast to put in a brochure about the 944 and one of the topics is the safety. I've searched for it but nothing has come up. Thanks in advance!!

It's called Porsce on safety. I have the brochure, had the pic on the computer(screwed up when saving it) and I don't have a scanner to get it again for you. Sorry man. I'd like to get that again too

I know it isn't very big, but I managed to find this scan online for you.

Oh, and the brochure is black-and-white, just to let you know.

Hope this helps,

They probably just mix and match, whatever gets grabbed first as long as its similar and correct fitting.

Oooh! Very rare! I've seen some clips before! Of 911 crash testing! Very hard to find publically as far as I know.

There's a pretty cool video where some british guy is driving a 911 around destroying it by running into things...I remember he drops it from a crane onto a motor home to blow it up at the end because he couldn't make it undriveable by running into stuff.

I am just glad to see the seat holds up. I remember seeing some old footage of a dummy bouncing off the dash in a 70's 911 because the seatback failed! This was on some program and was independent (non Porsche® footage)targa I believe...
