Engine Exhaust System problems of the 2006 Porsche Cayman

The engine failed whilst taking part in a driving event at willow springs raceway. Oil starvation caused #6 conrod big-end bearing failure at approximately 4000rpm leading to internal destruction of the engine and an enormous plume of white smoke out through the exhaust. Fortunately I was on a straight part of the track at the time and was able to retain control and stop the car safely. Please note that although this failure happened on a race track and at a seemingly high speed, I am an experienced racing driver and the car was not being unduly abused. This vehicle is sold in germany where it is perfectly legal for it to achieve its 170mph top speed when driving conditions allow and the company's advertising campaigns focus on its sporting capabilities. Clearly, however, the car shouldn't be advertised as a sports model if it cannot be driven in a sporting manner (in a controlled environment) without catastrophic failure.
