In what might be one of the bigger spelling fails (or flails, if you prefer) we've seen in recent times, official pictures of the Porsche Cayenne S Diesel that's to be used as a safety car for the upcoming Virgin Australia Supercars Championship have been sent out with a fairly obvious error.
Namely the big, bold letters running along the SUV's side spelling out "SAFTEY CAR" instead of "SAFETY CAR".
That is, of course, assuming it's an honest mistake and the Cayenne isn't actually a Saftey Car. We doubt it, though, given the only meaning we could find online was from Urban Dictionary and, well, it's better not to go into detail.
In better news, the spelling on the the Course Car and Medical Car appears to be on point, and there's little doubt the saftey issue will be resolved before this weekend's season opener - the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.
While the 2017 Course Car is a 220kW Cayenne Platinum Edition, both the Medical and Saftey cars are powered by a stonking 4.2-litre turbodiesel V8 good for 283kW and a whopping 850Nm - which should make it just fast enough to outrun the screams coming from Porsche HQ this morning.
