I was at the Porsche preview this morning. Nothing really groundbreaking this year, but here’s what I got off my phone.
Porsche Classic had a nice, original 356B (one owner) - they just cleaned it up, not a full resto.
The Rimac is very, very cool in person. No muppet drivers allowed.
The only interesting thing about the BMW booth was an M1 and a motorcycle. Though it was good to see come color in their model range.
Someone finally took my advice and blacked out (may have been faux carbon fiber) that side vent.
The rear wing on the ZR1 convertible looks really, really lost and out of place.
I really like this car. Sadly, all the aero bits seem to be plastic, not carbon fiber.
Next seasons Formula E cars look awesome, and the halo doesn’t look too out of place.

The GT3RS in green is my absolute favorite car, I haven’t yearned for a car this hard in a LONG time. It’s so perfect... I can’t wait to see it in person! Awesome photo, btw!

I miss the NYIAS so much.
When I moved to STL, my coworkers asked if I wanted to go to the Auto Show. I expected it to be as big and as awesome as the NYIAS. It was not. I no longer go to the auto show.

I probably walked right past you when the early entry admission started! The Porsche stand is never that crazy. Two years ago they just had a 911R, and last year a red base GT3, so this year’s green RS is a step up. There was a silver 991.2 GT2 RS in the lobby yesterday, but it’s gone now.
And is it just me, or does Porsche’s new Lizard Green seem like a slightly washed out version of Gelbgrun (Yellow Green)?

It’s hard to tell under those lights, but to me I thought they were the same.
Most people have their backs to the Porsche exhibit and are looking at the Koenigseggs, Rimac and Lambos......hahaha. Yeah it hasn’t been too exciting at the Porsche booth since the 918 was there. But, I do enjoy having coffee and bagels with most of the place still empty at 9 AM, and they let you get into the cars before the show opens.

Damn, if I was there I would have spent half of my time at Porsche.
I want to drive a Carrera T badly.
