Default Help with Porsche advertisement

A little while ago, i saw a Porsche ad in a magazine where there was a kid peering into a gray Porsche. I think the text read something like redefining the sports car, again or something. Not sure about the slogan. Does anyone know where I can find said ad?

Amazing! Great minds must think alike. I'm not sure what kind of google fu you used to find that because I somehow found the same thing shortly after I figured out the text. Thanks so much for posting!

I was that kid looking at a green 911T saddle interior in 1966 in the Moore Motors showroom when my dad was shopping for a 1966 VW 1300 sedan. Great ad

Inspiring. Have seen that picture with my car countless times. Kids or adults. Lucky us...

In other news, I wish they'd shoot on location rather than use Photoshop. Still, great ad.

Look at the back of that 991 in the picture. That just grabs your attention and there is nothing like it.
Gotta love their marketing....

Nothing like it? The badging and shape are reminiscent of the Chevy Crossfire to me. Especially the badging. Unconscionable that Porsche would label their cars in that manner.

Oh well, I like the design of the car not necessarily the badging. What's a Chevy Crossfire anyway?

Notice the badging. Chevy borrowed from European sportscar designs to come up with this clunker wannabe.

Has everyone missed that the Crossfire is a Chrysler? THat said, the back of the 991 is pure magic, badging or not.

I didn't think there was a Chevy Crossover... Agree with your opinion on the pure magic. I think it looks beautiful although not enough to sell my 997 TT.
