A hapless driver crashed his Porsche Taycan into the front of a new-build home, before being pictured holding his head in his hands in despair. 

The dark grey, £100,000 sports car, which boasts an acceleration power of 0-60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, smashed into the brick building and embedded itself in the wall last night. 

Police were called to the £600,000 property on Fenton Road, Harrow at around 6pm, along with the fire brigade and paramedics. 

Videos from the scene show a young man, wearing black trousers and a blue shirt, sitting on the pavement nearby with his head in hands.
