Wow,

I had a 1:18 scale die cast model of this as a kid and thought it was the most amazing looking car ever when I was 5 or so. Destroyed the model unfortunately and to be honest although I remember the lines I had no idea it was Porsche powered or what a Porsche was at that age.

Thanks for the memories. BTW I still think it is a good looking car reminds me of the MB C111 or the uglier Bricklin although I like the extra glass.

That is a cool story! Glad to remind you of childhood years.

Putting aside the famous race cars Porsche has built. I am a fan of the 965 Turbo 3.6. ViperBob will agree with me on this one I think.

The best looking Porsche has got to be the 917. Kind of cramped for a daily driver though.

550 and 917 also 904

The rest don't compare (sorry, I have an '84 911. It's great, but still doesn't compare.)

For pure design aesthetics, without regard to historical perspective,.. the Cayman!

1984-89 carrera's & 86-89 Turbo's I think are the best and last of the best of the breed.

Sounds good to me - the metallic dark green on the 930 in Peter Morgan's 'Original Porsche 911' is a great photo of an early Turbo.

And, I like the early 911s in black - shows off the chrome.

I agree, especially those Speedster seats. Probably the best looking I've seen in any car, ever. And the low windscreen glass on the A body - very dramatic.

I think Octane recently called it one of the top 10 coolest cars ever made.

I like the 993 TT, but there's a simplicity to the Speedster interior (and chrome gauges, etc.) that you don't get in the later cars with all the plastic, airbags, etc.
