Clumsy Mechanic Launches Customerโ€™s Alfa Romeo Through A Porsche 911

Had a s**t week? At least you didnโ€™t accidentally torpedo an Alfa Romeo Giulia (which didnโ€™t belong to you) straight through a brand-new Porsche 911 (which also didnโ€™t belong to you).

The incident occurred recently at a car dealer in Louisville, Kentucky, after a customer dropped off his beloved Alfa Romeo Giulia for servicing.

The dealershipโ€™s mechanic reportedly took the car out for a test drive, lost control in a very bad way, and somehow ended up planting it on a Porsche 911 Cabrio; damaging an additional Mercedes-Benz GLE and Dodge Charger in the process.

Originally appearing on Reddit (with the posts here and here), the owner of the Gulia stated: โ€œI took her in for minor repairs and came back to this.โ€

The Italian sportscar does house a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine capable of generating 375kW/600Nm โ€” something that should always be treated with respect. However, it still doesnโ€™t explain how the aforementioned mechanic managed to reach the necessary velocity for all this eye-watering destruction.

โ€œThey finished repairs and a tech took the car for a test drive. They told me someone cut him off causing him to swerve,โ€ the owner explained.

โ€œI was told the tech was test driving and got cut off, lost control, ran over a tree, and went airborne.โ€

Fortunately, nobody was hurt. But itโ€™s a good reminder that fast cars have more than enough power for things to go very wrong, especially when you havenโ€™t driven one before.
