He's Audi 5000


The story

One Porsche owner is having a morning they'd likely wish to forget.

A driver of a Gemballa Mirage GT—an ultra-rare, highly modified version of the already rare Carrera GT—wrecked into a handful of cars in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday morning. The damage isn't pretty, judging by these pictures shared by Instagram user ronniecnyc.

The owner of the car, Benjamin Chen, was arrested following the series of crashes around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, a New York Police Department spokesperson confirmed to Road & Track. Police said the car was not stolen, but was being operated by Chen when the incident occurred. He's been charged with operating a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs and reckless driving.

AHHHHHH! Poor car!
That thing is gorgeous.

Drugs plus Asian driving FTW!

Might not be as fast as a 918 and this guy could probably use the AWD but damn I like it better. They sound amazing!

That minivan pulled a wheelie!


If he fled the scene and was later apprehended, the DWI charges will be dismissed.

Yeah he’s wrecked a McLaren and a lambo before

He also has a veyron and a CLK GTR Mercedes

He's got a LOT more than just that.


He's also got a....
Diablo SV
Bugatti EB110SS
Lamborghini Muira
Aventador SV
Roll Royce (or two)
Mercedes SLR
air cooled 911


Probably a couple others in there. I know one one goldRush Rally he had a Porsche Panamera used as a fuel car to follow his Veyron. Yes, the Panamera had it's back seats and trunk full of 5 gallon jugs of 110 octane race fuel for the Veyron.


Claims are his parents are billionaires in China.

think we should give him a way one ticket back home before he endanger anyone more. Luck only lasts so long, rich or not.

Well you may or not know what rich Chinese do, but they someone send over their pregnant wife so she can give birth over here, and thus he's a US citizen.

At least they have money and won’t mooch off our system for generations to come like other people that come here just to have kids.
