What’s Your Dream Car? Porsche Knows
Porsche has a reputation for being pretty sassy when it comes to their advertising. They enjoy being flamboyant, and even arrogant, when it comes to selling their cars. But, really, what’s the point in owning a Porsche if you can’t boast a little bit? After all, they are the best cars out there, and we all know it.
That has been well known for some time. Flash back to the late eighties, when this advertisement ran for Porsche Cars North America. The print reads: “Honestly now, did you spend your youth dreaming about someday owning a Nissan or a Mitsubishi?” And you know what? They’re right.
While there is certainly nothing wrong with admiring the Nissan GT-R or the Mitsubishi EVO, they can’t compete with Porsche power and performance. That was especially true back in the late eighties. Back then, the EVO wasn’t even around, and the R32 Skyline GT-R couldn’t touch the Porsche 911 (964) Turbo.
With 360 horsepower and 520 foot-pounds of torque, the 964 destroyed the 276 horsepower and 368 lbs-ft of torque that the Skyline produced. So, really, where was the competition?
It’s clear that Porsche is on top, and they have been for some time. It’s the ultimate dream car.
