You've Never Kerbed Your Car As Badly As This 911 Turbo Driver
Few noises are as sickening for car lovers as the sound of wheels being chewed up by a kerb. That juddering through the steering wheel is almost always followed by shock, regret, and shame. And then a quick walk-around to assess the damage.
If you’ve recently harmed your rims, though, watching this might make you feel better. A Porsche 911 Turbo driver is seen leaving a car meet in the Netherlands, getting a little greedy with the throttle, and understeering straight into the kerb. They then drive away as though nothing happened. Whether or not the car ended up with suspension damage, we can’t be sure.
It’s not quite as dramatic as the ridiculous launch-control car meet crash we saw a 991.1 911 driver manage a few months ago, but it’ll still leave you cringing, and cringing hard. And hopefully making you realise that whenever you ding a wheel, it could be worse…

The owner just kept driving the same way that you walk after you almost fall on the floor. #NothingHappened
God damn, thats some strength in the arms!!
Yo, this reminds me, a while ago I saw this 911 turning into a bank parking lot, and I guess he made a wrong turn because he made this sudden maneuver, and scraped the entire side of his car on a wall. I still remember that sound… SCREEEEECH
The sound of the cars bodywork getting ruined
Besides the point, that RS3 was beautiful!
if he only had a engine in the front to get some low speed ground pressure on the front wheels xD
You don’t understand vehicle dynamics. Stationary and moving vehicles behave differently. A moving vehicle is affected more by inertia than the downwards force of gravity on the tires.
What you’re implying, that a Porsche will understeer less if it’s front-engined is absolutely incorrect and shows that you have no understanding of the vehicle dynamics at play when driving a Porsche.
Come back after you drive one and tell me how it feels.
This was 100% driver error.
My insides hurt now
I have kerbed one of my vehicles so hard I shredded the tyre.
I prescribe the driver 100 hours of high performance driving education track days to regain control of his vehicle at the limit and beyond it.
I died inside
