I watched the "info-mercial" last night----zero content and most of the guest drivers added even less----one guest driver couldn't stomach the ride around a small test track----the one driver of any interest said almost nothing---
Of all the drivers and "important people" that have been associated with Porsche---these were the choice? A sports athelete's wife driving a new panamera???
A waste of time and resource---I guess Dieselgate has emptied the coffers

Excellence had a story on the 67 911S (the first) and all the car magazines of the era referred to the 911S as a GT car. They also complained about all those 911 handling characteristics that are so praised today. Guess the 991 was built to address the complaints of 1967 and not the wants of 2017.
I think the handling was improved with the 1969-1973 LWB long-hood 911S. The market also values these cars near $200,000.
I think the 991 is the best 911 since the early air cooled small bumper cars.

Infomercial disguised as documentary.
They merely use sports cars and the history to try and sell the high volume money makers. Even the current sports cars are means to sell the rest. Anyone walking into a Porsche dealership today that didn't know much about the brand would think they sell nothing but SUV's, crossovers, and sedans. Look at the dealer lots
Hey, looking at the sales numbers, that's all they do practically sell!
