Ouch! Test drive gone wrong

Just saw this on Motor1.com and Youtube.

Looks like a Turbo? Went in corner too hot and understeer!

Ouch.

With that butt coming around can only guess that the traction control was turned off or it was on pretty crappy tires.

I wouldn't blame the car, tires, or the temperature. This guy was driving too fast for the conditions (i.e. not on a track) and his ability.

The car slid there (no front grip) - he was trying to stay on his side (poorly)...

Driver was driving like he/she was on a track with cars only going one direction. That looked like it was in an office park or commercial area. Idiotic!

Drive was going to way fast on a test drive and dealer should not have allowed this. Moron Driver. Looks like all are safe and cool to see driver side airbags working.

According to the comment from the link, this happen in Russia and it's not a test drive. Some idiots are getting fired at the dealership.

It was no test drive. This accident happened in Russia, in Rostov-na-donu city. Owner of this 911 turbo s left the car at dealership for oil change and some other maintenance. Two servicemen decided to go for a ride cause they could never afford such car and totally crashed it
