Anyone else catch this? Pretty slick video with a heavy dose of heritage and history.

I had not seen that.. it's spectacular.

Porsche has some very creative marketing geniuses on the payroll.. and I'm a happy guy.

 

The engineering and design of the 911 is only surpassed by that of its marketing machine

 

At the 50 second mark there is a short section with Pedro Rodriguez looking out of his 917 with his cherubic eyes. No one drove the 917 better than he. So sad that his life was cut short at 31 years of age (driving a Ferrari 512, no less in a race that didn't count for anything). He simply loved to race and did so any chance he got. I would have loved to have seen him with a chance to drive the 917/30 and 956's. He would have been hard to beat, I am sure.

 

epic vid, thx for sharing.

 

Goose bumps all the way. Thank you for sharing.

 

That was amazing and reminded me of when I was 12 yrs old and at the Porsche factory.

 

Well put together sampling of history.

 

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
