The driver of the Lizard Green Porsche GT3 RS seems to have lost control of the vehicle at high speed, as the vehicles spun out of control, resulting in massive damages to the performance car’s front and rear. The photographs of the damaged vehicle are limited and thus we cannot evaluate the extent of damage but it will most likely cost thousands of dollars in repairs.
