If you've ever wondered, which were some of the most noteworthy Porsche's to be destroyed on the silver screen, we've got you covered, with five examples

In Risky Business (1983), starring Tom Cruise, they destroyed a Porsche 928

This is allegedly the car that Tom Cruise learned to drive stick in

The 4.5-liter V-8 in this 928 made just 219 horsepower since US models were strangled by regulations

Porsche 928s equipped with a manual transmisison account for only 10 to 15 percent of all 928s produced

The "Risky Business" Porsche 928 was finished in Platinum Metallic. A few cars were used - some survived

The movie Torque (2004) was a playful joke from motorcycle riders to car drivers. A Speed Yellow Porsche 993 was caught in the middle

The air-cooled Porsche was squashed by a Hummer H1 that landed on top of it

The movie car was made to look like a 993 Carrera RS Clubsport, but a experts will notice the irregularities

In Death Race (2008), one of the racers drove a heavily-modified 911 G-body with a missile launcher at the front

The G-Body 911 has its own charm, but that wasn't enough to spare one particular example from being blown to bits

The car was confirmed to be a 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera SC, which stands for "Super Carrera"

This means that the 3.0-liter flat-six is fuel-injected and has a 5-speed, 915 manual transmission

They spared no expense when filming the 2007 Reline. Not one, but two rare Porsches were crashed

The 2 Carrera GT cars that were destroyed in the movie were, allegedly, owned by the movie director, Andy Cheng

Just 1,270 examples of the Porsche Carrera GT were made, and more than a few had already been crashed

In Fast X (2023), they destroyed a real Porsche 997 GT3 by blowing it up

The 997 represents one of the most iconic, modern-day 911s, including the last Mezger-powered 911 and the last manual Turbo
