Petersen’s ‘Porsche Effect’ Is Very Effective in Wowing Los Angeles

“The Porsche Effect” kicked off with an hour-long panel discussion. Folks like Dempsey and Steve McQueen‘s son swapped stories that conveyed their passion for the brand. But even the Hollywood stars in attendance found themselves overshadowed by the sheer star power of the Porsches on display.

Pretty much every iteration of Porsche was on display. From prototypes like the four-door 928 to the Le Mans winning 935 K3. It’s abundantly clear that lots of careful thought went into assembling the 50 car lot, a daunting task indeed. In fact, according to Petersen Chairman Peter Mullin, the exhibit took over a year to conjure up.

Judging by the star-studded turnout, we can confidently say that they did an excellent job. The Porsche Effect is a must-see for anyone with an affinity for the brand. And you’ve got plenty of time to take it all in, as the event runs until January 27, 2019. Get more details here.
