Speeding Porsche with no plates involved in horror N11 crash

[TysonRoux]

The heading says 120mph?

Edit: that's basically 190km's plus into a steel barrier.

In my world 193 kmh is damn fast, and in the ass-hole category on a public road.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

Sigh. Again, 192km's/h into a steel barrier is n o comparison.

*sigh* ... the point is you are quick to assume the Porsche was speeding, it could as easily have been the Fortuner speeding, or perhaps both of them were speeding along in the 160km/h range

Any of those scenarios could cause the damage in the pics, but for some reason you:
a) assume it must have been the Porsche speeding
b) believe it must have been "extremely high" speed

Some people have no imagination lol. When speeding, your reflexes are less effective, hence head-on collision. It's also possible to survive a head-on collision... Just not when your vehicle looks like that result.

This.

I'm not sure what all this porsche-defensiveness is all about.

 

[ArmatageShanks]

It depends on the angle of impact. Head on is very seldom square on with two entities trying to avoid each other.

With or without brain damage is still up to conjecture.

I'm not assuming anything. Perhaps read the article before looking rather silly.

"Preliminary reports reveal that a Porsche with no number plates was allegedly speeding when it became involved in a head-on collision with a Toyota Fortuner at around [10pm]," Ntuli said in a statement on Sunday.

appealing to logic and resisting the urge to jump to conclusions is not porsche-defensiveness

personally I could not care less about the brand of car involved, I do care about the truth however, and the fact is none of us know it at this point in time

That is so frikken amazing I am changing my point of view to agree with yours.

yeah, rather silly is how you look from where I'm sitting

leaving aside that 125km/h is also "speeding" fyi, the term says nothing about the actual speed, only that is over the legal limit

Read post # 45

For someone who doesn't know the truth, you sure seem to lend to one side of the debate.

Oh, so you wanted a definitive statement right now? I suggest you learn how to apologise when you are wrong.

read #48, slowly, multiple times

Oh my god. look who is making up stories right now. Is there a campfire near you?

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

I suggest you learn how to apologise when you are wrong.

when that happens I will be quick to do it, in this case you are so wrong, and irrational to boot, there's really no need for anyone else to be apologizing

Why multiple times? I can assess stupidity on the first read.

your stupidity, certainly, hence, multiple times

Being burnt alive is probably the worst way to go.

Most die of the smoke inhalation.

Sigh. Again, 192km's/h into a steel barrier is no comparison.

Physics 101- head on collision will have the same effect if both cars are travelling at 96km/h, in this case cayenne was speeding so we assume 120+ km/h, the damage from the impact will be much higher than showed in the barrier video

Speeding Porsche with no plates involved in horror N11 crash

Preliminary reports reveal that a Porsche with no number plates was allegedly speeding when it collided with a Toyota Fortuner on the N11, resulting in eight deaths.

The burning vehicles outline does not look like a Porsche (not even a Panamera, since it was carrying 4) to me.

Anyway, how was the Porsche in an accident even? It's most designed to travel at high speeds, nè speeding-is-not-a-bad-thing supporters.

A Macan perhaps?

Nope. The steel barrier does not have crumple zones built into it.
