In that vid he tries to kill the car, and it won't die, thus proving how robust the 911 really is. And I believe THAT was Clarkson's real point. Tongue and cheek, but still a strong testimony to Porsche's build quality.

I didn't enjoy that bit at all, whereas the "Let's kill a toyota diesel" one was fantastic.
With the toyota one, they kept doing horrible things to the truck, and then STILL manages to get it running. It really was incredible.
With the 911 one, they just decided to destroy the Porsche. Pouring acid on it, driving it into the side of a building, and dropping it on a camper trailer. None of those proved how strong or well made the car was. Heck, in the final scenes it was obvious the engine & transmission weren't even in the car.
It would have been far more entertaining to do things that prove how robust the car was, like running it at redline for ages, etc etc
Intead, they just bashed it up.
