would be? Our 986 has ALREADY been destroyed in countelss numbers of incidents very similar to this one where someone put it into a pole, tree, wall or even off a bridge in one incident I recall. Auto wrecker sites are full of pictures of mangled Boxsters that look like crumpled sardine cans impacted from every possible side, rollovers, etc. all with full gas tanks.
Yet after nearly a decade on this forum and others I can't think of one incident where a 986 charbroiled the occupants, let alone within 1 to 2 minutes after the impact..
And I'm not sure why you're conflating the issue of responsibility for the accident, with the merits or weakpoints of this car following a crash. They are two separate discussions. Whether a car spins out of control because of driver error or equipment failure, is not germaine to this second issue of how prone this car is to explosion and fire.

Countless incidents. But yet you own one?? Has every CGT caught fire? Do they all get driven in an unsafe and irresponsible manner?
No car at speed limit on city streets catches fire. If this guy had been driving even double speed limit, they may be here.
Speculate all we like, but his reckless driving caused his vehicle to loose control. This incident alone does not show a safety flaw because it's so far outside a typical crash.
There's no denying the driver / speed were primarily at fault. Feel free to speculate beyond those facts all you like.
