AR lovers close your eyes because this is the moment a £200,000 supercar went from 0 to very wet in just four seconds. The top-of-the-range Porsche 911 GT3 RS had just been prepared for its new owner when a garage mechanic put his foot down a little too hard. With a 500bhp engine it's capable of 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds and boasts a top speed of 193mph. A Porsche ended up rolling off a dealership forecourt and into a river A pick-up truck hauled the Porsche out of the water But this one will not be going anywhere fast after its plunge into the drink. A passerby snapped the moment it hung in the balance half-off the river bank and posted it to Twitter. It took around two hours to retrieve on Wednesday morning, according to local media. A Porsche ended up rolling off a dealership forecourt and into a river Photos of the accident have quickly gone viral Hans van der Valk, manager at the Amsterdam dealership, told local press: "The car was parked on the waterfront and a mechanic made a mistake when trying to get the vehicle. "That is very unfortunate, but it can happen. "When there are people, mistakes are made."

Only 30!? I'd be paying a lot more than that as-is for that

That's how they're getting it out? RIP to the underside.

it sucks they can't use a rotator or a cherry picker because of the building's low overhang, unless they drive a wrecker straight into the water :(

Because water-cooled.
The car was being moved out of the showroom onto the sidewalk display by a tech that was not informed that the brake callipers had been removed to paint with the gulf livery at request of the owner before he picked it up apparently. Could you imagine being in a 200k car and putting your foot to the floor on the brake pedal and nothing happening as you approached the canal. Fuck me.

Try driving off a cliff! That aint shit lol ^^^

Someone needs to write a thank you letter to the designer of the HANS device.

Too bad there was no mechanical handbrake :(

lol 30k

I'd be running for the nearest border, you could be in Germany within the hour.

Really though, whoever removed the calipers but put the wheels back on is the knob I'd be blaming for this.
