Default Porsche Video

A quite good video which ends with a promo for the 2017 Panamers. Unfortunately any mention of the front engined progenitors of the Panamera i.e. the 928 was rudely omitted.

No mention of the 928 but still a very good video.

Porsche always did and still makes wonderful cars.

Porsche IS the best sports cars manufacturer in the world.

Like it's said at the end of the video: Porsche is the "ultimate disruptor".

For me, the 928 was and still is one their "disruption" realisation.

In a good way of course...

Thanks for sharing Rod.

The 928 disrupted the disruptors, I suppose. Owners of 912s. 914s, Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes and Macans also got left out. The theme, though, was the leaders of the Porsche mystique (right up until the Panamera, that is).

The video had an effect: Having ordered a Macan, I've decided to sell the Cayman. But someone in town with a 1983 Guards Red 911SC Euro with a whale tail asked me the other day if I'd be interested in a trade. He got it cheap, and I think he'll let me have it for cheap. Is it crazy to trade a modern, hugely capable car (plus around $10K) for an old icon? After watching this video, I think I'll do it.

Either way, those attending Camp 928 will see both, and possibly a new garage under construction.
