Loud BANG then...

As the title says, I was running errands today and approaching an intersection, slowing then starting to speed up, a horrendous BANG then no traction. Engine revs up, clutch pedal feels normal, gear shift feels normal. No funny noises or anything.
Towed to shop, one of the mechanics thinks clutch cable, but I don't think so. My retired Porsche mechanic buddy (30 years experience) thinks an axle snapped. I'll know Monday.

I just picked it up yesterday after they replaced the engine mounts.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
