Terrifying dash cam footage shows overtaking driver flip car before crashing into other vehicle
The moment a 'reckless driver' flipped his car after attempting to overtake another has been captured on dash-cam footage.
The Seat car is seen driving towards the Porsche, before suddenly flipping out across the oncoming lane.
As the terrified driver screams in shock, the Porsche is struck by the SEAT, as it rolls down into the grassy verge.
The incident happened on the A907 Clackmannan Bypass in Forth Valley on March 14 but there were believed to be no serious injuries.
It is believed the crash was caused after the driver of a SEAT Ibiza clipped a Porsche Cayenne while attempting to perform an overtaking maneuver and flipping the vehicle.
Local man Darren Blair said his wife managed to record the incident from their Nextbase dash-cam.
Darren said the driving conditions were clear and dry, but this section of the A907 is "extremely busy during the day and has had its fair share of accidents in the past.
He added: "My wife was lucky that she was able to manoeuvre onto a grass verge or else it would have been a different ending."
Bryn Brooker, Head of Road Safety at Nextbase, said: "This incident showcases the importance of driving defensively at all times - you simply never know when something shocking like a car flipping into your path is going to happen.
incident may have ended in tragedy.
"A dash cam will make clear who is at fault in such incidents and destress the inevitable insurance process."

2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS For Sale With Just 63,000 Miles
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Orange you going to be sad if you miss this one? There aren't many modern automobiles we would want in our garage as much as a manual transmission Porsche Cayenne GTS. It's a remarkable blend of utility, luxury, power, and control. Sometimes, the perfect example comes up for auction, and this one, in Nordic Gold Metallic that's up for auction on Bring-A-Trailer, has our name written all over it. Of course, Porsche no longer makes the Cayenne with a manual, so we have to settle for used, which is just fine by us. It's a modern classic made for driving enthusiasts who can't cram their families into a Panamera, and definitely not into a 911. 2024 Land Rover Defender V8 review: Still wild at heart Watch More Why this example is so desirable The current seller bought it in British Columbia in 2020 and then had it exported to California. The unique paint job over black leather and Alcantara suede looks great together, even though it's a bit of a Halloween colorway. The 2009 GTS is propelled by a powerful 4.8-liter V8 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and it only has 63,000 miles on the odometer. That's not very much for a car that's sixteen years old, racking up an average of less than 4k miles per year. The current owner only put 10k of those miles on it, and based on the photos, it appears to be in very good condition. By providing your email address, you agree that it may be used pursuant to Arena Group's Privacy Policy. The 2009 Cayenne GTS's 4.8-liter V8 produces 405 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 came in 6.1 seconds, but it was more than just about quickness and straight-line speed. The GTS had a lowered suspension setup, more responsive steering, and more aggressive styling than other Cayenne trims (besides the Cayenne Turbo). The Cayenne GTS also came with a dual-range transfer case for excellent high-speed and low-speed management, along with a variable center differential that helped the Cayenne GTS manage difficult off-road situations, even though most drivers would never put it up to more than a tarmac challenge.

Other appointments include 21″ Cayenne SportPlus wheels, heated power-adjustable front seats, a premium Bose audio system, and a Porsche Communication Management system (a 7-inch infotainment screen) with navigation. The wheels have been refinished and shoed with fat 295/35 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. You can see the red Porsche brake calipers peeking through the 15-spoke turbine style wheels. Other features on this model include Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), bi-xenon headlights with washers, a sunroof, rear roof spoiler, front and rear parking sensors, and clear paint protection in key locations. Back in 2009, there were no massive screens for infotainment or instrumentation, but that's what we love about this old school example. The beautiful full-analog gauges flank a small digital driver information display. The cascading gauges provide a handsome symmetry with an orange backlit glow that matches the paint job. The listing does note that this example has had its full instrument cluster replaced. This example is up for auction with no reserve, and the current bid is $45,750 with just one day remaining. That's impressive given the fact that most examples with fewer than 100k miles on them sell for between $25,000 and $40,000. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive full service records, import documents, a clean U.S. Carfax report, and a clean title. The seller recommends a parking brake adjustment, but it seems that not much more really needs to be done. Final thoughts We consider this to be a great example of a sport-luxury SUV that has that all-important and rare manual transmission. Carmakers are ditching manual transmissions left and right, and even for its time, the Cayenne GTS manual was special. There's not much time left in the auction, and you can probably get this for less than the average price of a new car in 2025. What would you rather have, a manual transmission V8 Porsche SUV, or a fully loaded 2025 Toyota Camry? That's what we thought. About the Author Amos Kwon View Profile

Alpine had to go electric, but refuses to be boring
Alpine's decision to devote itself to electric cars hasn't pleased some of its most passionate fans or lovers of the phenomenal, petrol-powered A110 sports cars. However bosses tell us it was really the only way forward for the performance brand, which is working on ways to twist the laws of physics and drivers' emotions. Advertisement - Article continues below Speaking to Auto Express, Alpine design director Antony Villain explained: 'If we want to stay on ICE engine, to get the right engine with the right performance compared with super famous competitors, it will take years to catch up and will be super expensive. And at the same time, sports cars with an ICE engine in France, for instance, there's a €60,000 malus (government tax). 'With the price of the car plus malus, basically Porsche today doesn't sell any [sports cars] in France anymore. So we are doing the market; I think we have 98 percent of [the two-door coupe] market [in France].' Villain acknowledges that EV demand has been slowing, which has resulted in rivals Lotus having to shoehorn a new 'hyper-hybrid' powertrains into its cars. Porsche is also working on a new SUV featuring combustion and hybrid engines, to sit alongside the Macan Electric. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below But Alpine is showing no signs of wavering from its commitment to launch a pure-electric line-up of seven diverse models by the end of the decade. The only outlier will be the road-going version of the Alpenglow hypercar, which is getting a hybrid V6 powertrain. One key benefit of going electric, Villain points out, is: 'it's like a reset of know-how and everybody's coming back on the same basis, so we have much more opportunities to be competitive and to stay true [what Alpine is]. Advertisement - Article continues below 'Since the beginning, Alpine has not been an engine provider. Its sports cars made out of the best combination of existing engine and existing components, but cooked in a very different way, and I think we're staying true to this philosophy, and we think we can deliver an even better experience than the [current] A110.' A bold promise, but remember the boss of Alpine is Philippe Krief, who before taking the reigns in 2023 was responsible for the chassis of the astonishing Ferrari 458 Speciale, and was head of R&D at Maranello when Ferrari SF90 and 296 GTB plug-in hybrid supercars were born. In between all that, he also led the development of the Alfa Romeo Guilia and Stelvio. The new Alpine A390 offers proof that the company is trying to preserve its core principles. Despite being a spacious, five-seat 'Sport Fastback', based on the same platform as the Renault Scenic family SUV, underneath is a bespoke triple-motor set-up that delivers up to 464bhp and 808Nm of torque, plus 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds. But while it accelerates as hard as an A110 R, VP of product performance Sovany Ang knows that's 'not enough to make this car feel like an Alpine. It's really the agility, the lightness, that we're looking for.' Advertisement - Article continues below Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Alpine is using lots of trickery to try and deliver this, but the most significant development is an active torque vectoring system that takes full advantage of the A390 having two e-motors on the rear axle and the one up front. The SF90 and 296 Krief masterminded use similar technology, and Ang promises it allows the 2.1-tonne head-turner to 'pivot around curves and be very stable in straight lines,' while also making it feel much lighter than it actually is. The next-generation A110, which will be electric and is going to be unveiled in October 2026, will also employ torque vectoring. But Alpine has gone several steps further than that, creating its own bonded-aluminium platform and developing innovative in-wheel electric motors that will drive the rear wheels. But perhaps most importantly, we've been promised the car is going to weigh less than 1,500kg – not a featherweight by traditional standards, about the same hefty as the Lotus Emira or a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS. The same architecture, technology and presumably the same in-wheel motors, will be used by the Alpine A310 coming later. Another model pulled from the brand's back catalogue, the new A310 will be a four-seat sports coupe, making it a direct rival, and zero-emissions alternative, to the almighty Porsche 911. Advertisement - Article continues below Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Of course, if you don't fancy an electric sports car, the current petrol-powered A110 is still available through our Find a Car service from around £55,000, with a dozen new models in stock around the UK, plus some used models too. Alternatively, there's the Alpine A290 hot hatch which is available to lease from just £315 per month . Ang tell us Alpine had a simple choice to make: 'we could have decided 'okay the [sports car/two-door coupe] segment is dead and we're not doing an A110 anymore, but we don't want that! We want the A110 to be durable and to continue to be the next icon in 70 years, and for that we have to play with what the technology on hand is today and the best way to achieve this kind of performance is the electric playground.' But once again, Alpine's focus with the electric A110 is not heartstopping acceleration. 'We're bringing soul and sensuality,' says Villain, 'it's not a cold machine.' Ang elaborated, 'from a performance point of view, there's no doubt electric is better. But from a sensuality point of view or your senses, we need to work so that we deliver probably not exactly the same [experience] as ICE cars, but new [experiences] that trigger those emotions that make us love sports cars.' As well as technology, this is a new era for Alpine design. Villain explained, while today's A110 that was relaunched the brand in 2017 was 'a bridge to the past', now 'we are entering in a new era and we have to project the brand in the future.' The Alpenglow hypercar concept established Alpine's new form language, which maintains the DNA of the brand's past models and still features some styling elements – like the four lights on the front, seen on both the concept, the A110 and A390 – but 'the way we sculpt the surface is much more modern, sharper.' 'There is a little weakness in the A110 styling-wise, which is that people appreciate it because it's cute. But some people don't buy it because it's cute. And that's a problem. So especially in the UK and Germany, we are missing a bit of assertiveness, aggressiveness, and sometimes the froggy aspect of the A110. We saw that and so we're trying to make a sharper design, but still keeping the sensuality.' Buy a car with Auto Express.
