"Due To Extreme Weight Savings And Emissions Reductions, The Engine Has Been Completely Removed"
This video is the kind of thing that a pretentious grad student would call “an artifact.” For one thing, it proves that Germans do have a sense of humor… they just need Porsche to add enough consonants to the end of its racing models to be activated. This, in turn, gives a keen insight into the reason nobody mentions Germany when it comes to identifying nations that build the “coolest” cars. The Germans, and I say this as an often-overly-serious person of Germanic descent, are just too damn serious. In fact, the satire here is so seriously deadpan as to be almost un-funny. If the humor isn’t obvious enough for you, go ahead and start calculating how much Porsche charges for each “G,” “T,” “R,” and “S.” You’ll be laughing in no time.

Very funny. My coworker and I had a good chuckle.
If only Monty Python or Margaret Thatcher had been available to do this vid instead.
Unfortunately, no US version is possible, since it can't go fast enough to produce meaningful NHTSA crash test results. Seriously, clip-on sunglasses? Is that strict Eurotrash dress?
Great.
