It's "fashion," none of it ever makes sense IMO. For some reason all I think of is Zoolander when I see this.

Sure it wasn't one of those dummy cars they use in movies all the time to blow up and smash?

"In Rag & Bone’s defense, it says the 911SC used was just a shell, saved from destruction at a scrap yard. However an appreciating asset such as this is unlikely to be scrapped unless it was in appalling condition, and given the pristine looks of this one, commenters are not entirely convinced."

That's two ads I've seen now that they smash Porsches. What's up with that?

Maaaan they could have at least used an ugly sports car nobody cares about.

Or why didn't they use a blinged out Hummer 2?

Glad to know that Clarkson got a new job in advertisement.
He seems to recycle though:

Any brand that thinks it's OK to destroy another brand (other than on a track) gets no respect from me.

Trying to justify it looks pretty weak to me.

Not that I have the highest regard for fashion, but I do enjoy something properly designed with nice quality materials and good build quality.
