BMW M3 nearly crashes into a GT3


Even if you are a talented or careful driver, the Nürburgring is still a dangerous track for anybody because if you're good enough not to make mistakes or crash by yourself, there's anyway the risk to be involved in an accident, as you can see in the following video.

Porsche GT2 Heavily crashes



The Porsche 997 GT2 is a truly beasty track car and it's not easy to handle, you really need good driving skills, and if you want to push it hard at the Nürburgring, you better know what you're doing. It's not the case of this driver which you're going to see crashing his GT2 at Flugplatz.

Don't mess with the Carrera GT!

A legendary Porsche meeting the fastest 911 ever at Nürburgring means just one thing.. race! The Porsche Carrera GT is still one of the best Porsches ever made and has similar numbers, compared to the Porsche 911 GT2 RS (612hp the V10 of the GT, 620hp the flat-six of the RS), they have something else in common, they're two difficult cars to drive, the GT is a real beast to tame!

Start to see the video from minute 27:00, that's where the GT meets the RS and the battle begins, until the driver of the GT2 RS reaches his limits and spins out, but with a huge luck he doesn't crashes into the barriers which happens most of the times if you crash at the Green Hell since the guard rail is just a meter far from the tarmac of the track.

And the lesson of today is: don't ever try to keep up a Carrera GT, just turn down the window and enjoy that heck of a V10 sound!

GT-R vs GT3 RS 4.0



Once again, the guys at m5boarddotcom have managed to compare side by side two great rivals, the Nissan GT-R and the Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0. The Porsche looks stock, the Nissan is slighty modified and this time the 4WD is a huge help. In a standstill start all we know who would win without a doubt, but the guys are racing with a rolling start.. so, will the Porsche have a chance?

Porsche 997 GT2 nearly crashes 3 times



It's good to see people that want to satisfy their need for speed on track instead of public roads. However, if you can't drive properly your supercar, you're still a danger even for the other drivers on track, and this onboard video shows a man with very little driving skills nearly crashing 3 times with a Porsche 997 GT2, which is not really the easiest car to drive. It's worrying to see how the driver holds the elbow outside the window just like a city cruise and grasps the a-pillar as the rear of the car slides. This guy definitely needs a good track driving course, and a much easier and safer car to drive.

Fast as Hell



Take the ultimate german track car in the ultimate racetrack, give it to an expert racing driver, fit it with sport track tires and a couple of cameras to film the action. Dunlop has held at Nürburgring an event to show the efficiency of their new Dunlop Sport Maxx semi slick tires, and in the following video you can see a Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 fitted with these tires being driven insanely, by marking an absolutely amazing lap time under 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

A Porsche 911 McLaren inspired

The american tuning company Centro 911 is author of an incredible modification made on a Porsche 997 Carrera S Convertible making it a sort of a german McLaren F1, with the result of a single center seat Porsche 911. The project took over 300 hours of work and important modifications to accomplish this result, certainly now it offers to this Porsche a truly unique driving experience!

Stolen Porsche 997 Carrera 4S



The german owner of this yellow Porsche 997 Carrera 4S must have learnt an important lesson after this; never leave your car unattended with the keys inside! While paying inside the gas station, a BMW stopped next to the Porsche, and its passenger went inside the car and drove away with the Porsche, not a very smart move for the thief (the cameras have filmed the scene) and for the unlucky owner of the Porsche.

Woman destroys a store with her Porsche

The unreal video you're going to watch was taken by the surveillance cameras of a grocery store in a gas station in Istanbul, Turkey. A woman was driving her Porsche 997 Turbo in the gas station and probably, instead of pressing the break pedal she did the opposite (I wanna hope by mistake!) with the result of a sudden fast acceleration that ended by hitting a car, destroying the glass window and the grocery store, luckily with no injuries, probably just a big scare and a huge bill for fixing the chaos she has caused.
