Yep, gotta call BS on this one. I tried starting my car as the story states - it doesn't start and a "depress clutch petal" light appears. Wouldn't think a Turbo would be any different.
The Mythbusters would call this one busted.
The pics don't make sense either. No way you could've been going fast enough to cause that much damage by just jumping off the ignition. The door is blasted off the tracks. That can't happen at 1-2 mph (or kph in this case) from a standing start no more than 1-2 feet from the door. Maybe the door's fiberglass or aluminum and is very light, but it still doesn't look right. And wouldn't you instictively remove your hand off the key when you first bump it?
Something's very fishy.
