Woman drives brand new Porsche out of showroom... smashes it

China - A female driver smashed a new Porsche she had just bought, crashing it seconds after driving it out of the car showroom, The Mirror has reported.

According to the report, the woman, identified as Ping Ch'ang caused more damage than the cost of the car and is believed to have pressed the accelerator instead of the brake.

She accelerated instead of braking as she approached a red signal at the first turn outside the car showroom - and rammed into other cars at the crossing.

The report quotes a Porsche salesman Qiang Chiu as saying: "We were still waving her goodbye when she shot forward and there was a tremendous bang."

"We'd warned her that it was a very powerful car."

The Boxster is capable of 0-62mph in just 5.7 seconds and with a top speed of 162mph, according to the Metro.
