Cayenne crash test.....failed? Options

[retrotech]

This Cayenne is on E Bay now. I am amazed that it didn't hold up better. Looks like it might have been rear of Semi trailer.
I think the bidding was at $500. That would make a super alien!

The whole car is scrap. don't bother. If a dismantler is selling it whole, that tells you there's not anything worth scavenging on this car, save some scrap metal, spare wires, and trunk carpet.

That was my thoughts on it too. If the engine was worth pulling they would do so just to have one instock.

And "Looks like an offset collision (one of the worst type) and appears that a good portion if not all of the roof damage is due to the passenger extraction. Fire/Rescue cut the right "A" pillar and pealed the roof back like tin can. "

While we tape the pillers like the one shown (wrapped in duck tape) we (and most fire depts) would have cut both A pillars and then put two notches in the roof behind the front seat area. This would allow the roof to be folded compleatly back to allow any patients to be removed. The whole windshield would have been removed even if only 1 pillar was cut. But I wasn't there when it happened so I'm not sure why just the one was cut or if it was. It looks like the passenger pillar was cut with a sawsall from the clean cut (Jaws crush and pinch them)
