What is he saying and why?

Looks like a form of art at the end.

Sounds to me like he's got the weight of the Russian world on his shoulders.
Must have just had one of those wifely discussions, and this is his answer to the question :

"Why do you need a new Porsche ?....your car looks just fine to me"

Looked like it was pretty tough to crush the passenger compartment from the front or rear!
Makes me feel safer with a cage and a harness at the track...

From another board

"Unter dem Titel �Reine und gemischte Zust�nde� zeigt Gottfried Bechtold im Kunsthaus Bregenz vier Werkgruppen. Den Auftakt bildet das neue Skulpturenensemble �Elf Elf� von 2006 auf dem Vorplatz des Kunsthauses im Rahmen der KUB-Arena. Jeder der insgesamt elf Abg�sse eines aktuellen Prototyps der Porsche-911-Serie wurde vor dem Guss durch eine eng anliegende Tuchabdeckung verh�llt, was die Paradoxie der Verwandlung eines Objekts f�r extreme Geschwindigkeit in eine Betonskulptur noch einmal steigert.

Vor genau 35 Jahren, am 10. Oktober 1971, hatte Gottfried Bechtold in der Galerie Krinzinger in Bregenz den ersten Betonporsche als Abguss seines eigenen Fahrzeuges pr�sentiert. 2001 folgte der �Crash-Porsche�, und nun finalisiert Gottfried Bechtold seine jahrelange Auseinandersetzung mit dem Mythos Auto und der Idee der Bewegung. Nach einer zwei Jahre dauernden "

Under the title "Reine und gemischte Zust�nde," Bechtold will be showing four work series at the KUB. The new sculpture ensemble "Elf Elf" (2006) on the KUB Plaza comprises eleven models of a current prototype of the Porsche 911 series covered with a protective cloth before casting - a detail that adds to the paradox of transforming a high-speed object into a concrete sculpture.

Exactly 35 years ago, Bechtold unveiled his first concrete Porsche at the Galerie Krinzinger in Bregenz, followed in 2001 by "Crash-Porsche." His current show is a monumental closure of the car theme and the idea of movement in his work. It includes the sculpture on the ground floor: the car that served as the model for casting the first concrete Porsche, compacted in a baling press..
