It didn't just 'hit' a pole, that must have really been moving when it hit.
RIP

Saw a TV news report. You'd barely recognise what was left as being 'a car'. Nobody was going to survive it. Very sad.
I hope they retire the films now. It would seem in extremely bad taste to carry on making a series of films that relies heavily on massive car crashes after the lead actor died in a massive car crash.

That will retire a number of careers as well. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

A lot of that is fire damage rather than impact damage. There's a film online of just after the crash, and the car looks fairly intact.
I'm not up on the NCAP safety rating of the Porsche, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a little worse than say, a Volvo.
Accidents are always a combination of factors, clearly speed was one but I wonder what else went on.
