A senior Porsche test driver was killed when Porsche 911 Turbo 998 Cabrio prototype that he was driving crashed on an unrestricted part of the German Autobahn midway between Frankfurt and Heidelberg. The prototype convertible was completely crushed.


Porsche say that the accident was not as a result of a high speed testing, but rather the Endurance testing that the car was undergoing where three different drivers pilot the car around-the-clock. The company did confirm that the vehicle was a next-generation 911 Cabriolet, known as the 991.
