Wow,.....that poor thing really took a hard hit. It looks like the driver might not have walked away from that one.

My guess is that the 2.7l crank broke, seized the motor, locked the wheels, causing a spin.

Hope the driver is ok.

Schnikey! I don't think I've ever seen a Carrera hit that hard. Motormeister is bad car-ma.

Jeeeeeeeesus (coincidentally while writing that out, my iPhone wanted to correct it with "hereafter"... Must be an Easter egg or something. )

How hard must one of these things get hit to do that?

And it's already bid up to $4550 with no auction date set. Amazing.

Sick, man. Just sick. Poor fellow. The first picture should be titled:
So, you think that rebuild was bad...
And then the second picture...

Or how about: "motormeister gives owner CRASH course in Porsche engine rebuilds..."

Or: "Motormeister helps racer to WRECK the competition..."

Okay, I'll stop

That pretty much matches my vision of a Motor Meister race car...as delivered to the paying customer.

Mm

I understand that 99% of the MM engines are still on the road........ the other 1% made it home or like the above ;=)

That is a REALLY hard shunt. These are pretty stout little cars. Big hard hit - hard enough that I doubt the driver's in real good shape.

Motor Meister Racing? Each driver must wear running shoes to push their vehicle off the track. Each vehicle must carry a 25 pound bag of kitty litter to soak up the inevitable oil spill. Races can only be held during mosquito season in the swamps of Louisiana...

Motormeister Racing - They started a rally division - they set off 6 months ago and still haven't heard from them.

No tire sponsor - but several sneaker endorsements

Platinum sponsor is AAA

The only engine rebuilder that comes standard with "OnStar"

They are starting a new series - forget the navigator, you have to have a ride along mechanic.

Whoever is selling that car might have better luck if he removed the Motormeister sticker on the fan ...
Then again it's a good heads up for people on Porsche forums who know about
Motormeister's "famous" stunts !

Cheers !

The car looks as bad on the outside as the engine does on the inside.

I'm surprised a Motor Meister engine was able to build up enough speed to crash a car that hard...but then again, it could've been hit while parked on the side of the road.
