During the Auto Madness 2025 event, held at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands, a Porsche 911 Turbo suffered a dramatic accident during a drag race.
The car, a black 992 Cabriolet model, faced off against a Brabus 800, a modified version of the Mercedes-AMG E63. The Porsche struggled right from the start, spinning its rear tires due to the rain, while the Mercedes kept going. The 911 driver was unable to regain control, swerving to the right and crashing the front of the car into the wall.

Despite the impact, the driver exited the car without apparent injuries, but the Porsche was severely damaged. The right front and much of the right rear section were destroyed.
The vehicle’s suspension will also likely require significant repairs, and it’s probable the chassis was compromised due to the intensity of the impact. The car’s protective bars were triggered, which helped keep the vehicle stable until it came to a complete stop.
In situations like this, traction control could have prevented the accident. While traction systems in modern high-performance cars are effective, the driver learned the hard way that it’s important to use them in challenging track conditions, such as rain. This likely would have helped maintain control of the car and avoided such severe damage.
