Default Car and Driver crash RS????

I will not expose my sources but i personally seen the photo. Hard front impact. Also someone stated they saw it on rennlist as well.

I do not know anything other than the car is purple and it was the only gt3 rs test car in the states. Porsche north america is highly upset and the car is a total loss.


The above is quoted from CF

I'll bet we can find them a replacement for $100k over MSRP.

I know someone who attended the Euro press release at the BB track. two damaged there on the first day. one worse than the other!

Heres anther took a hit Monza Italy weekend just past. Customers car with wrap. Given the price of the CF front fender and hood alone thats a 50K repair bill right there!

The good news for owners is RS becoming more valuable!

There is another thread where somebody a few days ago posted a pic of a Barney RS with heavy front end damage. Poster said it was a total loss. Congrats C&D

Love the Italian flag stripe on the front hood. Bad karma on a German car is what caused the crash.
