WOW... Now that's a press LAUNCH!
 
Man oh man is this ever a cool video!!!
Don't know how many have seen this but if ya haven't... it's a must see!
I found on the cayenne forum (posted by synk).

If I would have been there I would've placed my order right away :D
The only thing missing is some big @ss explosions and dry-ice fog never the less I'm amazed how they choreographed it to time with the jets...
Enjoy!

Sid.

EDIT, PLEASE CHECK OUT POST #19 FOR THE LATEST UPDATED (WORKING) VIDEO.
sources keep getting pulled...

damn I wish the vid was still there.

EricP Dec 12, 2011 10:20 PM

It's been pulled off youtube by the author.

EricP Dec 12, 2011 10:30 PM

I did a web search hoping it was cached somewhere and found no source. Everything I've read says it was unbelievable. Thanks for trying.

ScottKelly911 Dec 13, 2011 12:35 AM

Wow, I'm so glad I got to see it before it was pulled. I have a feeling the author was asked to pull it by youtube for music copyright infringement. If he wouldn't do it, then they'd have done it for him most likely.

youtube is seriously overdoing this, you'd think by now they'd be rich enough to hire a powerhouse like counsel to at least mitigate these retarded music copyright infringement movies, time for another youtube, an open source youtube.

EricP Dec 13, 2011 09:03 AM

YouTube needs to sack up - but they get heat by the music industry - an industry that thinks they can still get all the toothpaste back into the tube with a toothpick.

There is a guitar education website (free) where the guy teaches you various songs - the lawyers of WarnerBros contacted him with a cease and desist letter because he'd write out a few lines of a guitar solo from songs. Warner said that they owned the rights and made him take down his "c0cktail napkin" notation - his interpretation. The guy wasn't even charging for his services - just being a nice chap.

EricP Dec 13, 2011 09:17 AM

I think if we put out the call to all fellow 6speeders collectively we might be able to get full clip, I mean there was at lest 100 people at the launch there's got to be other videos of this event floating around...

You can't stop the signal!

BTW, really enjoy all your posts on the 991, thanks.

Sid.

thanks mate i do what i can and enjoy it. Sadly, i can`t be everywhere at once. :)

Here's one someone posted in the 997TT thread. You can tell it's filmed by someone else that was at the event because of the slightly different angle, but they got pretty much all the good stuff too!

Anyone noticed the "Top Gun" theme in the beginning? Harold Faltermeyer FTW!
memories, goose bumbs, epic epic epic :D

BTW did you notice that the whole grandstand is actually moving forward out of the hanger during the first Top gun track... that must have really added to the build up for the people attending.

No problem, I just reposted what someone else posted in the 997TT forum knowing that some people might not check it since it was a 991 related event. But yeah I feel the same way, I must have watched each of the two vids like 20 times hilarious The original video posted, started when they were indoors and the doors were closed with LED screens on them. Then the music came on and the doors opened, then the stands slowly started pushing out of the hanger. The guy panned the camera to the right, then the left as the stands were moving out, to really give the viewer a sense of what was happening. It was chilling how good the theatrics of it were. You really felt as if you were there. The above vid is great also, but it doesn't quite capture what the other one did since it starts a little later. Either case, wow i wish I was there! One day I'll be at one of Porsche's very special launch events hopefully.
