The 911 GT3 RS earlier today, blub-blub did in Amsterdam broke not so good week for the people of Porsche Centre Amsterdam. Hot news about the incident: it may be missing the brakes, and the 911, therefore, now broke.
Plenty of biscuits on the interwebz today, as a result of the 911 GT3 RS which is a pair of wet feet got. What was the cause of ‘watergate’? It Was the damned PDK gearbox? Had an employee the handbrake forget? Should these cars not just with the ass in the direction of the stout? Led the Gulf livery meant that the 911 itself is also a wave wanted to address?
New information autoblog under eyes has gotten, now marks on any other sinister cause. There are actually brakes on that thing? The sharp eye of AB’s resident cameraman, that previously all acted as the bane of Victor Muller’s existence when it was found that the Spyker C8 Preliator on a bit of very old tapes was, now stores again.
On the photos of @larsyboy1997 seem to be the distinctive yellow brake calipers, namely to be missing. Lars says here now the following:
“I’ll tell you. I was there Saturday when the car left no streaks had and when there were no calipers on. Was me not noticed, but when I get my film back you do not see any claw.”
But why would you really rather essential parts of the car scrapping? Probably has to do with the ‘Gulf livery’. Real swekkerboys want to, of course, a balanced color scheme on their ‘Elfer’ and thus it was allegedly intended to make the calipers orange to spray, in the same tone as the ‘racing stripes’.
In principle, we may be there or what to propose. Take for example this green GT3 RS. Great color, all historically justified, but the combination with the yellow calipers is a bit of ‘gewöhnungsbedürftig’.
Apparently there was even a sign at the unfortunate elf that due to the missing claws not driven-had to be. But it does not have any income, because this morning was ‘ie in the stout. Painful, but yes, who nicely wants to be…
