Yahoo's main page says it's totalled!? That's doesn't look totalled to me......might cost 150k to fix it but it ain't totalled. He must of been going about 50-60mph when he locked up....oh well.
The car, one of just 400 manufactured, belonged to the film's producer, Daniel Sadek.
The real-estate investor has put up his own money for the $26 million picture, and allowed one of his two $200,000 Porsche Carreras to be destroyed for a scene in it.

He's just another one of those "I'm black, isn't that funny?!?!" comedians.
Doodsmack said:is this confirmed for real? the video's kinda fishy...for one, why did the car bounce off the wall like that? and second, the guy standing by the wall RIGHT where the car hit didn't even flinch.

"Totalled" here may refer just to the insurance company's decision to not repair the car. Which still doesn't make a lot of sense though. The value of those cars is set by the market and it's currently well over a million dollars. The car looks pretty good from the front of the cabin back. Even if every piece in the front end has to be custom machined it's still not going to cost a Megabuck to fix it. Or maybe the value of the spare parts from the back end is over a million, in which case the insurance company could make a profit by paying off the policy holder and parting it out?
What idiot set up that course? The concrete barrier was right next to a relatively sharp turn, so that anybody who lost it in that turn would hit the wall. No bails of hay, stacks of tires, or drums of sand or water to slow down a car before it hit the wall.
