Where do ideas come from?
Ferdinand Porsche’s work at the drawing board was like that of a playwright,
with technology always cast in the leading role. Working intuitively, he made
aesthetics an integral part of his solutions. From the very beginning, Porsche
saw the road as a stage where he would put on a gala performance.
There are many reasons to
fall in love with the lure of an open air Porsche 911. Whether it is the
visceral connection to nature, the natural feel of wind in your hair or the
energizing wide open sky–there’s something enthralling about driving the
Porsche 911 with the roof down.
It’s also perfectly natural for
your wife or girlfriend to get jealous of the other girl–the Porsche 911
convertible. A modern day reinvention of the original 1963 icon, the air cooled 911 is the most sought after collector car demanding higher
sums than the water cooled cars that came after. The tactile engine and low weight makes the car much, much tighter and agile in movement.
But the real reason Porsche enthusiasts continue to buy the air cooled Porsche 911 and why BMW drivers readily convert is not the 0-60 times, not even the badge appeal, but the outer-worldly handling of the rear engine car. The 911 is quick, of course, reaching the highway limit in 5.2 seconds giving the driver the undiluted joy of maneuvering the car on a congestion free, curvy road.
