A Porsche 911 Turbo modified by renowned performance shop Gunther Werks has been destroyed in a serious crash at Laguna Seca. The car's caved-in roof caused concern for the driver, whom the shop says sustained "no injury."

Gunther Werks was testing its latest reimagination of Porsche's iconic sports car, which it calls the Gunther Werks Turbo. It's built around a behemoth of a 4.0-liter, air-cooled flat-six, with twin turbos pressing it to 700 horsepower in track mode. Weighing in at only 2,700 pounds, that gives it a power-to-weight ratio around that of a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. It's a handful no matter where you drive it, especially if that's at a racetrack.
