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…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

That should’ve some damage to the car’s suspension I guess….Correct me if I’m wrong.
Not sure… they sometimes can take serious force in the way the are supposed to receive them. However this is completely off design.
Alignment at most, suspensions can take a lot of beating
Heh, I’d think not. I once kerbed a wheel hard (shit tyres, understeered in the rain right onto a high kerb), broke the wheel and f*cked the wheel bearing (though it was 25 years old at that point). Suspension itself was fine after an allignment
Metal bends much more easily than breaking. Alignment, yes, is visibly damaged.
However, so will be the wheel. The biggest damage to that car will be the ultra-expensive Porsche wheels.
Allow me to memerise it:
That’s a lot of damage
O O F
They didn’t stop to check the car, just kept going probably noticed they were being filmed.
cars leaving car meet is the best car show ever!!
That should have been a Mustang…
Bad drivers come in all manufacturers and models.
And the Ford Fiesta wasnkerbbed worse,the whole rear axle fell off
Moist road, check. Braking in turn, check. Curb, check.
to break in mid corner, was the DUMBES idea ever at that moment …
