A supercar meet as part of a Father’s Day luncheon outside a mall in Durban on Sunday was memorable for the wrong reasons for the owner of aAccording to the video posted on Instagram by Vivian Reddy, the developer of the Oceans Mall in Umhlanga that hosted the event, the grey 996 generation Porsche 911 is seen leaving the impromptu parking space from behind what behind looks like a McLaren 650 S.
A pedestrian was also lucky to escape the carnage as he passed the 911 seconds before it was hit by the X2.“Someone rushing to a Father’s Day luncheon and nothing was going to slow him down. The pedestrian is so lucky to escape injury,” Reddy’s caption of the incident read., the mall remarked, “the Oceans Mall piazza has become the gathering point for supercars over the weekend and attracts hundreds of viewers.
“We were told there were no injuries to pedestrians or drivers involved. The local authorities, metro police and police were on the scene shortly thereafter.”Introduced in 1998, the 996 generation 911 signalled a massive departure from previous 911 models as it featured not only a brand-new platform, but also a water-cooled flat-six engine for the first time.
In the case of the Turbo, the engine displaced 3.6-litres and produced 309kW/560Nm fed to all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox or five-speed Tiptronic S gearbox. The claimed top speed was 305km/h with 0-100km/h taking 4.2 seconds.
Unsurprisingly, the estimated damage wasn’t disclosed, but given the 996’s value, chances are that the owner won’t be happy with the driver of the X2.
