Tragic. It looks like they were in a parking lot?

I would not say- their stupidity,responsibility lies solely on the driver on this one.
Also another blackeye to all Porsche owner, owners like this guy,makes the rest of us look bad.

CGT wheels are magnesium if I recall correctly. Interesting that they seemed unaffected by the crash or fire. All this talk about negligent vehicle design got me thinking about using magnesium for the wheels.

You may be re-enforcing PL's understanding of a "very weak" vehicle there. I have used Marchesini's forged (100%) magnesium wheels for years on all race & practice superbikes that I've owned. They are ultra light & stable, but incredibly brittle. One crash and they simply explode in pieces.
Thinking of it, I am also extremely surprised that those wheels held up better than the carbon fiber

It's in a light industrial park, normally deserted on weekends & holidays. Apparently popular area for street racing etc.
