VELOCIDADE INFERNAL II

Dean and his Porsche Speedster 23F at Palm Springs Races March 1955.

Morreu quando dirigia em velocidade, seu novo Porsche 550 Spyder, se aproximando de uma intercessão.

“As Turnupseed's Ford crossed over the center line, Dean, who was driving at a reported speed of 85 Miles per hour, apparently tried to steer the Spyder in a "side stepping" racing maneuver, but with insufficient time and space, the two cars crashed almost head-on. The Spyder flipped up into the air and landed back on its wheels in a gully, northwest of the junction. The sheer velocity of the impact sent the much-heavier Ford broad-sliding 39 feet down Route 466 in the westbound lane.[43]” (wikipedia)

Porsche, um carro assassino? Ou o que mata é a imprudência da velocidade?
