I saw the commercial twice last night. As posted in the 964 forum, great commercial...that car needs all the help it can get. Good job on trying to sell a "Porsche".

 

That silver coupe is one of only a handful of the first hand hammered, aluminum bodied coupes to bear the Porsche name that were built at the family homestead in Gmund Austria in 1949 before they moved operations to Stuttgart and rented the old Ruetter buildings where the first project 356 cars were built.

 

What JP said ...





Next to wooden mold:

 

One of 47 ever built. 1100cc motor, twin solex's, 40hp, it's pretty amazing to see it 'kickin it' with the best of them in those video's ...

 

That Gmund gives me the tinglies.

 

uh-oh.... run Forest, RUN!!

 

Cacticle-- Wood / tinglies ... problems getting them straight?

 

4 of the cars in the spot are Hurley Haywoods including the 917.

I drove the Panamera on the track at Road America and it is quite the machine.... it even looks better in person, plus the interior is beautiful and roomy. It will be a car that grows on people after a while, it did for me.

 

I agree. (We better put our flamesuits on here ..) After seeing a few of them in different colors, I have to say the ONLY colors that suits that car IMHO are silver spectrum. There was a white one on the Stuttgart, Zentrum showroom floor that was just painful to look at ....

 

More of the '49 Gmund coupe ... & other selected offshoots of the family tree

 

928 makes an appearance.

What doesn't?
...914, 944, 968? (of street-legal & mass-produced)

 

 

Everything is great about that commercial except the ending (the Panamera).....

 

From the discerning journalism of 993C4S.com (PorschePurist):

...flattering angle of a shiny new Porsche family member?

 

OK, i admit, i don't watch much tv, but this is the first P car tv advert i've EVER seen.

does Porsche not do tv marketing in the US?

thanks
