Over the past several years the Porsche marketing department has put out the most inane, cheesy, nonsensical, and overly dramatic bull**** I've ever seen. This is just the latest example. The only thing worse than their limp-wristed cars is their limp-wristed advertising.

They may have inadvertently tipped their hand though - at one point the voiceover says "optimizing the relationship between cost and benefit." Because clearly they decided the cost benefit analysis leaned in favor of using the disposable NA block as a base for the new turbo engine, instead of the GT1 block. But it really doesn't matter I guess - a 3500 pound 4x4 electronically-controlled pimp mobile doesn't deserve the GT1 block anyway
