Default Documentary on making of 997 ?

A friend was telling me that he had see a documentary on Discovery channel about the making of the new 911. Has anyone see it? Is it any good? Sounds interesting if it was available.

Wow, that's something ALL of us would be interesting in seeing for sure. If it was on the Discovery Channel, I wonder if they have videos of that broadcast available for sale. Hmmm, just did a search on Porsche 997 at the Discovery website and nothing turned up. I'll try another search. You sure about it being on Discovery?

He said it wasn't specifically about Porsche but rather followed the development of 2 manufacturers newest models (911 and MB ???), so Porsche probably isn't in the title.

He was fairly certain that it was either Discovery or TLC.

You are probably speaking of "Excellence by Design". Its one show per marque. I have seen the Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston, etc.... Very good shows...

I checked the Discovery website and the only thing they refer to was the making of the BMW 6 series.
