You need to check the clearance levels on bridges before going under them.

I thought the GT2 had Cooling Air Ducts in the rear fenders...similiar to the 996TT ????????

Either way.....whomever was driving it, dropped the ball and ruined a very nice car.

I hate to see beautiful cars get in that kind of trouble. Hope the driver is OK

You can also see the letters GT2 on the boot lid.. the air intakes are covered by the "low bridge"

You would think that the car would go into the guardrail tail first!

This guy was lucky! I hope that they are okay. Thank goodness the guardrail post was just sunk in dirt- imagine the horror if the post had not given and pulled out... it would have torn the roof right off of that car. It does show how strong the roofs of these cars are, however. What a sad sight!
