This is heresy. I've always wanted a Porsche, will never be able to afford one, and this idiot is destroying one. Yuk!

If I ever won the lottery the Porsche Turbo Cabriolet Convertible would be my Summer ride. Decked out to the nines of course

Thanks for making me

Maybe Jocke made it before he crushed that Replica Rolex??!!??
I swear I shed a tear on this one.
All those payments, all that love and care.
Oh, the horror of it all....the horror...

That's so...

That's so funny notice how they actually took the engine and drive train out before blowing it up... I guess someone bought this one for parts and they decided to have fun with it before taken the parts out

This is however, the worst excuse of "art" , aside from a $300,000 watch that does not tell time.

Please don't destroy your Rolexes in the name of "art".

It was a replica 911. Didn't you see how the crest on the hood was slightly bigger than it should have been and in the wrong shade of gold? How about the side view mirrors being placed slightly forward from where a real 911 has them. I'm not even going to mention the wheels on the car. Don't get me going

Nice observation

I didn't even notice those details thanks for letting us know

I guess my video is not that good now

Clarkson and the Top Gear crew have always done funny but daft stunts. This one is slightly upsetting to me though, lol.

Knowing Jeremy Clarkson for a number of years now, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't go about destroying a genuine Porsche.

He hates porsche cars

He claims that porsche designers are lazy when it comes to design and that porsches are the ancestors of the VW beetle in terms of design

Personally i believe that porsche cars are probably the cars with the best performance there

A 911 turbo for example is faster than an M6 just because it really gets every single horsepower on the road
