PRETORIA - Duduzane’s Zuma’s defence advocate has submitted evidence that older model Porsche 911s, like the one driven by Zuma on the night of his deadly crash, are susceptible to losing control when driving through deep puddles known as aquaplaning.
The former president’s son crashed his sports car into a taxi on the M1 Highway in 2014, killing passenger Phumzile Dube. Porsche Centre Johannesburg’s dealer principal Jacques Cronje has told the court that Zuma’s car was serviced just months before the deadly crash.Defence counsel advocate Mike Hellens referred the witness to a recent article in Auto News, an international online motoring publication.
The article states that 911 drivers are unaware of an inherent problem that as a result of its lightweight and broad tyres, the car is prone to aquaplaning. Porsche bosses are quoted as saying technological countermeasures are being built into the next generation of 911s, expected to go on sale this year.

PorscheRaces PorscheGB PorscheNewsroom is it true your most advanced car is actually shit and a danger to its drivers? If not, please release a statement disputing it and do something about the dealer principal that has suggested it's unsafe.
Yip, and only those sold in South Africa. The ones sold in the rest of the world do not have that issue.
DuduzaneZuma was in a Turbo which is an AWD car, I can't believe Porsche is backing this. 🤔
