Porsche 911



Ahh, this car speaks volumes when it comes to status, either through social class or on the race track. Anyone who pulls up behind the stop line or start line in this thing, know that they're in a car full of elegance and power. It's so recognizable because the design of the car hardly changed at all throughout the years. It's been in production since 1963. Obviously, the car updated to the current standards of today, but even so, the old cars and new ones alike are head turners. This is the Porsche 911.

Vehicle Specs:
This is based on the 2013 model. The picture up there is the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera Sport model.

History:
The first car Ferdinand Porsche made under his company was the Porsche 356, which was essentially a stronger Volkswagen Beetle. Quick history note, Mr. Porsche (and his son, grandson's and nephews alike) here created many vehicles, essentially known for the cars named after him, the Beetle, and the idea of a hybrid. Back to the car lineage, the 911 replaced the 356 and took the whole world by storm, becoming the face of the company and basically the "franchise player" so to speak. Ferry Porsche (the son of Ferdinand Porsche) pushed for the 911, and took years to develop it until it's release in 1964. Listing the different models of each generation would kill the eyes, so here's more info: yes, another article, but they do have a list plus explanation of each models.

My opinion: 
I tend to question a person's value's if they say they don't like a Porsche at all, especially the 911. This car is a dream on wheels, a mix of elegance and power in one. This car is a living icon, the longest car in production up to date. Some Porsche's tend to blend in, others stand out. This can do both. Any owner of this vehicle can pull up behind a stop line like any other common car, but when he puts his foot on the pedal, he'll have to control the temptation to just floor it. It's that beautifully engineered. There are things that stay consistently amazing such as: Rolex's, Louis Vuitton, and Porsche 911's. I would love to own one of these in my life time, great stuff.
