This lovely little Porsche 718 RSK was spotted sitting in the Porsche North America Headquartes yesterday. It is significant because in 1958 Jean Behra and Hans Hermann drove it to Porsche’s first overall podium finish with a third place at Le Mans. The car was there in celebration of the LeMans race this weekend and the launch of the new 718 Boxter this week. I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! experience and the place was crawling with lovely cars.

Quick question, why did they name boxster (cockster) after a legendary race car?
