Hey, you need to take him up on that and video it! It will be like he's driving my car!

Simply brilliant. I hope the guys that came up with this commercial are getting paid a lot of money because they deserve it.

bad thing is nobody, anywhere, can buy a new 4.0 anymore, pretty much.

...nor will there be anything like the RS 4.0 produced anytime in the future.

Which begs the question, why would Porsche spend the time and money to make the video? To provide distraction from the 981/991 EPS and Panamera console debates?

I know the guy. He does the majority of Porsche's youtube spots - which is why I posted this before most had seen it. He should be paid more - mainly becasue of the production speed - but he has created a fun job for himself. He's the same guy who produces most of the stuff on Drive channel on youtube - his name is JF Musial. He broke into the business shooting and editing the the 32:07 documentary - a yet (maybe never) to be released video of me and a friend breaking the Cannonball Run record driving from NY to LA in 31hrs 4min.

And Hurley Haywood is a nice & funny touch at the end of the video.

If anyone qualifies to fetch Patrick Young for a morning coffee run in PSDS, who else but the Chief?

Bet there is nothing in the cup even Pat Long would not want to do what he did in the 4.0 with a cup of hot coffee waiting to explode. LOL Fun to watch him slide that 4.0.
