Bummer. What tires are those the Pirelli's? They look to have a lip on them so I don't think they're the MPSC's.

I dont know much about cars that have been in severe accidents but the main cockpit area looks very well preserved compared to how much damage is seen on the rest of the car.

I dislike much of what's happening to the 911. However, I applaud Porsche's continuing attention to safety. I'd much rather be in a crashing Porsche than a crashing Ferrari.

Now I can see how my new RS is made inside.....No need for a shop manual.

PS This is one of the most painful images I have seen recently other than the Enzo engine sitting alone on PCH a while back...

I would not really have thought of Iceland as the very best place to have an RS........
