THOUSANDS of new registration cars rolled out of dealerships yesterday, but by the end of the day, 600 were smashed up - with Porsches topping the crash list - according to research.

A report by Churchill Car Insurance said 600 new cars crash on the first day and 3,240 within a week.

Luxury sports cars are most likely to be involved in a collision with Porsche drivers the most unlucky.

This is because the speedy German sports car, with its rear engine, can be hard to control for inexperienced drivers.

Churchill reckons pounds 8.1m of cars are damaged on day one, rising to pounds 43.7m by the end of the first week.

The study also followed new cars' first two years of motoring and showed that, after just a month, 13,400 had already been in the body shop for repairs.

After a year, 135,000 of these cars had been in an accident, rising to more than a quarter of a million after two years
