Vulgar Display Of Power
iron aluminum, including a Porsche Carrera GT, a few Lamborghinis and a Ferrari Enzo. It seems as if China is doing a better job of Saving the Enzos than we are back in the States. See if you can name every car in the clip - you'll get some helpful, if slightly misleading, assistance from our intrepid narrators. (Hat tip to Jamie!) [VideoSift]

Trick Or Treat: Toyota MR2 In Porsche Carrera GT Costume
This Toyota MR2 dressed to look like a Porsche Carrera GT isn't going to trick anybody. It may have Porsche badges glued on, but they're not enough to distract you from the sickening proportions and ridiculous build quality. We haven't seen a supercar kit this bad since the Fierrari Enzo. The Porsche costume is mounted on a salvage-title 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder with a modest 138 HP 1.8-liter four-banger. So how much would you pay for such an exotic motor vehicle? Well, the current bid is $12,000...but the reserve hasn't even been met.

Fake Carrera GT Is Still Too Nice For Teenage Drivers
What's better than handing the keys to your Porsche Carrera GT to your kid and having him destroy it? How about giving him this Chinese knockoff version he can wreck all day long at a fraction of the price? Brilliant! Though not cheap, with a 'buy it now' price of $80 grand, this Carrera actually started life as a Boxster, got put in the taffy puller and stretched 12 inches front and back, and then had a new body dropped on top. Keen eyes render it obvious as a poseur, but it's actually a pretty good fake. Better than most of the Fierarris we've seen, anyway.

Porsche Carrera GT Suffers Death By Teenager
This one comes to us from the offices of intrepid commenter Drachen, who chatted up the driver of this flatbed after seeing its cargo — the remains of a Porsche Carrera GT in an Atlanta-area parking lot. According to the driver, he'd just pulled an all-nighter driving from Miami to Atlanta to deliver the car to the shipping docks so it could be crated and sent back to Germany. Seems the car was destroyed at the hands of — you guessed it — a teenager, and on prom night, no less.

Porsche Carrera GT Drifts Right 'Round Dubai Roundabout
Dubai is no longer just a quaint desert outpost where car thieves merely steal police BMWs. Nope, the lack of proper law enforcement oversight is now showing up in more edge-of-the-seat ways. Because although taking a Porsche Carrera GT out for donuts and making sideways laps around a roundabout seems like a pretty good way to thrash a V10-powered Stuttgart supercar, it probably doesn't help so much with the law and order.

F1 Star Lewis Hamilton's Dad Crashes Porsche Carrera GT, Shows He's Like Son
Yes, perhaps the old adage of "like father, like son" is actually true. We all know how much Lewis Hamilton loves the Porsches, right? We also know how much he loves diving head first into the walls too. Enter Anthony Hamilton, his father and manager. He was just out having some fun with his wife in a loaned silver Porsche Carrera GT yesterday in jolly good England, when he"lost control of the 205mph £330,000 ($643,600) supercar just after he left home with wife Linda yesterday."

Porsche Carrera GT Eats It While Driving Onto Trailer
Here we find a perfect example as to why using those 2x8's you've got lying around behind the shed to load a half million dollar Porsche Carrera GT is a bad idea. We're not positive of the categorization here, but "epic fail" might be as close as we can get for everybody involved in setting up this cringe-worthy scenario. You can almost hear the carbon fiber chassis going all crunchy right at the end. Ouch. [VideoMax (NSFW banner ads)] -

Supercars Dressed in Flat Black
Our first impression when looking at these pictures of various supercars done up in flat black was "holy awesome sweetness!" But then we thought about it for a second. These cars have paint jobs from the factory costing tens of thousands of dollars. Does that make any sense? How much more menacing can an Audi R8 in flat black really be? We're wondering if what was once a cheap and individualist style has become a parody of itself. Poll below the fold.
