Porsche 75 Anniversary

[Hubert]

Let's have a dedicated thread for this.

 

[Ara]

Oooo, thanks for this. I am going to check it out.

Close to me too, thanks for the tip Hubert. And don't take my parking spot Ara!

Not as cool as the Petersen Automotive Museum, but who am I to turn away free swag? From a dealership's party, celebrating 75 years of Porsche.

An excellent video on the Porsche museum

Funny to think that the company is actually older than the country of which it is one of the most desirable exports…

Porsche older than Germany?

Germany as we know it now only exists post-reunification in 1989

Well - I would have gone with the FRG being established in 1949 since (matter-of-factly) the GDR simply joined the FRG (and ceased to exist) in 1990.

Porsche Carrera @ 60 with the S/T

Only 1963 will be made and priced close to $300k. A collector's dream! But most normal 911 owners will never have a chance to buy one, even if one could afford the price tag.

That's fabulous. Love the colour too.

60 Years of the 911. Cool video, highlighting each generation and introducing the new 911 S/T.

 

[Yago]

Fabulous but unobtanium. Glad I have that other 60th Carrera to ease the pain

With a few decals, almost all of the 911 Carreras will look the same

Still dreaming of a Carrera (or Cayman) one day

 

[abrod520]

Really wish they'd do something regular production with a NA engine and manual. Something like what they've done with the Cayman GTS 4.0

Saw a new GT3RS at the weekend, interesting.

There was one in the showroom when we collected my wife's new Macan. Which was super distracting, as I tried to focus on my wife's new car. LOL. But the RS looks too over the top for me, with all the aero bits, air ducts and wings. I'd much rather have the 911 S/T, which is basically a GT3RS in sheep's clothing.

Sorry, wrong marque, but noticed this the other weekend at a track day/race meeting, dealer had a few cars on display, thought it was nice till I saw the price.

Now I could look at a Porsche and think, “That’s cheap”, Ferrari’s price has come down in the last couple of weeks a few thou.
