Porsche 911 Engine Flies Out of Chassis. COBB’s in the Courtroom!

Porsche 911 Crash Leaves Engine Launched

You’d think a Porsche 911, that’s built to handle speed, would stay intact no matter what, right? Well, a recent crash proved otherwise when a 911 slammed into a highway barrier and literally threw its engine out of the car. Yeah, you read that right—the entire engine was ejected from the vehicle. It’s the kind of thing you might expect seeing in a movie or something, not real life. The car spun out, hit the guardrail at high speed, and the force was so intense that the rear-mounted flat-six engine was ripped from its mounting. No major injuries were reported, but seeing a Porsche in that state makes you wonder about just how extreme things can get on the road when you lose control.

What makes this crash so insane is how it visually demonstrated the sheer forces involved in high-speed impacts. Since the 911’s engine sits at the rear, so for it to be thrown out takes some serious aggression. The car was unrecognizable, and while safety measures protected the driver, it’s a grim reminder of what can happen when pushing limits. It makes you appreciate not only Porsche’s engineering but also the sheer unpredictability of physics when things go wrong.

No matter how well a car is built, extreme crashes can lead to unexpected and shocking outcomes. This incident is a clear reminder to always respect the power of high-performance cars—and the importance of staying in control. Stay safe everyone…

COBB Tuning’s Legal Battle: The EPA Strikes Back

In other news, COBB Tuning is finding itself in a sticky situation with the EPA. If you’re into tuning and performance mods, you’ve probably heard of COBB—known for their top-tier tuning software and aftermarket parts. But recently, they’ve been slapped with a lawsuit over emissions compliance. The lawsuit alleges that some of their products allow vehicles to bypass emissions regulations, which puts them in violation of the Clean Air Act. It’s a huge blow not only to COBB but also to the entire modding and tuning community. After all, tuning cars to enhance performance is a cornerstone of car culture, especially for us who love squeezing every last bit of power out of our engines.

What’s troubling is that this lawsuit could set a precedent for how the EPA treats the rest of the aftermarket industry. With emissions regulations tightening globally, companies like COBB will need to adapt their products to meet legal standards while still delivering the performance enthusiasts crave, if that’s even possible. This balance will be hard to strike, and it could mean fewer options for modding—or at least a lot more red tape to go through. For those who love DIY tuning, it’s a wake-up call that the future of modding might not be as freewheeling as it used to be…

The COBB lawsuit is a serious reminder that performance tuning is now squarely in the crosshairs of regulators. The days of wild, unrestricted mods might be numbered, and the car community will need to adapt to more closely monitored regulations. Watch out everyone…
