Default Porsche Crash Test Ratings?

I am looking for information on the safety record for Porsche 997's to include crash test ratings but can't seem to find any information on the subject.
Does anyone have this type of information or a link to it?

Thanks in Advance.

That's because neither the National Highway Traffic Administrations nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has tested Porsche cars. I think the testing program is voluntary/and or only required of higher volume production cars in the case of NHTA. The European New Car Assessment Programme has also not crash tested any Porsche cars. I don't know if Porsche has done it themselves, but there are 20 links when you do a site search on Porsche/USA, unfortunately I'm having trouble with the site and can't see the results.

I was involved in a fairly serious frontal impact collision in my 2005 C2S last summer. These cars are amazingly safe and well engineered. Trust me!

I found it at Renntech on the random factory pictures.
