The Porsche 911 that made Magnus Walker famous in the underground car culture has suffered a little… ding.
Ok, maybe the damage is a lot more serious, but fortunately no one was hurt in the occurrence. The famous “277” 1971 911 struck a lorry while attending the opening of a Porsche dealer in Minneapolis.
Apparently, Magnus went sideways right into the truck as he was parading his creation to a journalist. Coming in at fairly high speed, the car lift-off oversteered and the result can be seen in the images and video.
Mind you, regardless if it’s a 1971 Porsche 911, an 1975 example, a 1993 or a 2015, the rear-mounted beast doesn’t care if you are Magnus Walker, Lewis Hamilton or The Pope, because it never forgives a moment of negligence.
That said, it’s unclear – for now – whether or not the car can be salvaged, although from our perspective it does look awfully hard to repair. The Urban Outlaw escaped unharmed, probably thanks to the rollcage installed in the car.
Thanks to StarTribune for the video!

ruh-oh… A bad day at the office for #277 and Magnus Walker. The word on the street is everyone is fine and the car can be fixed. #p911rA photo posted by Porsche911Range (@p911r) on Aug 24, 2015 at 1:18pm PDT
