The article is HERE and the notes added to each option they listed.
Here is what they listed:
1. Porsche 918 Spyder
2. Porsche 356
3. Porsche 917
4. Porsche 959
5. Porsche 911 Carrera RS
6. Porsche 550 Spyder
7. Porsche Carrera GT
8. Porsche 986 Boxster
9. Porsche 928
10. Porsche 930 911 Turbo
Let's keep this list to 10, but what would you change? I do not believe the list is in any particular order, but if you if you were to order it from your #1 pick to #10 pick, what would it be in? |
1. 356 for introducing Porsche to the world. The 356 set the standard
2. 930 Turbo. While certainly not the first car to be turbocharged, it was the first mass produced "supercar" to do so.
3. 550 showed that Porsche was a serious about racing. A David meets Goliath sort of deal
4. 917 Ultimate iteration of the aircooled engine and unequalled badass. Nothing else will ever sound the same
5. Carrera RS shows that you really could have a street/race car. That handling and finesse could beat cubic inches
6. 928 set the stage for the panamera, cayenne, etc. Awesome car in its day that left the "quirkiness" of air cooled behind
7. 986 for making a modern Porsche affordable again to masses for the first time since the 914
8. 959 for the many modern features it introduced to the 911 line
9. Carrera GT for simply showing Porsche could build a supercar that was reasonably affordable and could be used daily
10. 918..really? While a cool test bed of technology, it's just another "me too" in the world of supercar hybrids. Nothing new to see that other manufacturers weren't already doing
