Amazing Boxster Accident
This photo is from a recent Zürich newspaper. The amazing part is that there were three people in the car and no one was injured. Good advertisement for Porsche safety.

That is amazing. It appears that the driver roll hoop is bent forward and the passenger side is bent to the rear.

Safe to say the third person wasn't belted in. That would be one lucky person.

Are you sure no one was hurt? That is hard to believe especially with 3 people in a 2 seater. I would say a higher being was watching over them

The German caption states that none of the occupants was injured.

Looks like a turbo Cab to me, not a Boxster.

Could be. That would better explain the 3 occupants.

I was thinking the same thing. The hoops don't look like then ones on a boxster. They look like the ones that are hidden and pop out when a 911 cab rolls over.

Looks like a 997tt cab. To me it looks like it caught on fire and that's why it looks this wrecked, because the shape of the structure looks pretty intact.

dang god bless those people in the car. and if 3 people survived, clearly its a 997 turbo cab. it has the side intake as well as the circle headlights. and it must have been airborne for quite a time.
