The ads coming from Porsche lately have been nothing short of fantastic. I’ve watched the Panamera intro spot about a zillion times, squinting to make out each and every model and livery. Here’s another video from their YouTube channel that continues to push their racing heritage. Not sure if this is in response to some other manufacturer’s claims or a retaliation of sorts, but the message is clear - racing, not posing. Strongly liked.

In my opinion, this angle has always been the best representation of the 911, and probably the only one most of us will ever see. And making this even more rare a sight, Porsche is using this new model - the 2010 911 Sport Classic - to mark their return to the tradition of manufacturing exclusive series vehicles in extremely limited quantity. Unveiled at this year’s Frankfurt Auto Show, there will be only 250 of this particular edition offered. While I don’t necessarily like the recent tail lamp look on all 911s, nor the garish rims or stripes on this model, I absolutely love the old-school ducktail spoiler lifted straight off the 1970s Carrera RSes. That, combined with a wider rear and bubble roof, make this one tasty 911.
