    A Few Early 911s on Video

    As filmed by Jeff Zwart. Forgive the other cars mixed-in:

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gWguaRNsmX0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gWguaRNsmX0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Jeff Zwart filmed this and put this on Youtube?

    The "secret" filming of the commercial did not last long...
    Do you know when does the commercial comes out on TV?

    When is the commercial coming out? From the official logo at the end, I'd say that this being on YouTube was a bit of "viral" marketing. Quite a gathering.

    They need a better shot of the Panamera. It looks homely after those beautiful true sports cars.

    It looks like El Toro Airfield where Block's Gymkhana vid was filmed.

    I try and I try, but I can't get behind the Panamera. Mr. Wiedeking is missing the mark IMHO. It looks like a BMW X6 competitor which is just as awful. Put a VW or an Audi badge on it, and ship it to the soccer Mom's. They are made for confused people who don't know if they want a sports car or an SUV. Talk about a mis-matched pair. Porsche should make sports cars, period. It had to be said, let the blood bath begin....

    That's actually about the LEAST controversial statement ever made on this Board. As for the "Jerry S's cars" remark above, there is a certain Porsche-holic in Hickory NC who would take exception to his Penske Sunoco 917/30, Martini 2.2 Turbo RSR, Holbert Löwenbrau 962, and werks Mobil GT1 being called "Jerry's". There were a few blue-chip collections represented at that shoot; cars that Porsche could have brought to the Historics but didn't. The actual commercial should remind us all why we drive these cars...
