Thats Riber Bensens car he crashed it at the ring yesterday a real bummer

From another website

Sooooooo, eh. Anyone want to buy a cheap 5-speed? Crashed it today at the Nürburgring right about the 12 km-mark. Anyway, happy that the 928 is such a strong car. Speed was about 65 mph on impact, and my buddy and I simply got out and walked away. Doors opening just as before. Thanks for the time on this forum guys, it's been great! Probably gonna lay low for a while, but I will buy another one at some point. Oh, btw: Crashing on the ring is EXPENSIVE. 3500€... Ouch. Could have bought a 928 with that kind of cash.

At least this 928 died not from TBF, or a fuel fire, or by getting rear ended by someone texting. It died doing something purposeful and on the world's greatest track.

All hail. The King is dead. Long live the King.

A death on the Ring with the driver surviving is the ultimate act of valor for a car.

That 928 has done its job and should never see the road again, but its a nice Euro, with everything you need to swap over to a not so nice but straight body 928 and make it a nice one with the interior and drive train.
