The Porsche is capable of reaching breakneck 193mph speeds and can hit 60mph in just three seconds. 

Much of the bodywork on the white Porsche has been torn out and is seen strewn on the grass in the woods.

A uniformed officer is seen shining a torch at the rear of the vehicle, of which the rear window also appears completely smashed in. 

A deep dent on the roof suggests the car took serious impact and it also seems the steering while airbag was inflated.

It is not clear which offences the male was arrested for and MailOnline has contacted South Wales Police for further information
