Default New GT2 RS Crashed in MD area

My friend just showed this to me. The pictures are breathtaking. I believe the car was sold at Euro Motorcars in Bethesda,MD. The accident was probably fatal so beware before clicking the link it shows the car in an impound lot.


EDIT: LINK REMOVED

What's the point of showing such a horrible accident, where is almost guaranteed that the occupants died in an accident. ...

I honestly don't see the point, and is not that the car will be recovered and sold as rebuild tittle.

That is absolutely horrible! Ghastly! It serves as a reminder to us all that the streets are no place to test the limits. May the driver's family find peace and may the driver RIP.... so sad.

We have the choice not to open / read this stuff and I think rennlist should not allow to post such tragic events on this forum.
We all know what can happen at high speeds in our P cars.

I don't see the problem with posting this. This is no different from any other news we read about every day . Turn on the TV news any night of the week and be prepared for far more shocking images.

And laguna dude is quite right, no one should go 160 on public streets.

I don't see the harm in posting. Serves as a good reminder of what can happen in a Porsche or any other car when driven irresponsibly. Sad for driver and any others injured but sounds like it was entirely avoidable. In this day and age there are lots of good outlets for driving fast in a safe and controlled environment.

Pretty sure none of need a nanny to protect us from icky photos. Bottom line is dont click the link if you are too sensitive.

No censorship needed.


RIP to the driver, and it's a damn good thing he didn't take any innocent person(s) along with him.

if it is GT3/GT2 related it is free game. Either it be a celebrity sighting in a GT3 or a wrecked GT2....

It is good to see wrecks as it gives insight on how the structure holds up during different points of impact.

This crash really is a wake up call which we all need time to time.
Roll bar etc did not help in this case.

OT: a friend of mine went off the road in this years Targa Newfoundland, here is the video. ( id hate to loose my RS this way)
