10th Anniversary 911 Turbo S Is A Golden Shower For Porsche's Heritage
“Ten Years Of Faith” is the title of Porsche’s press release. Faith in what? The M96 engine’s ability to stay sealed for up to 15,000 miles? The residual value of normally-aspirated $130,000 convertibles? George Michael’s career? No, in this case it refers to the giant “leap of faith” Porsche took when they decided to enter the Chinese market.
To celebrate this trustafarian, er, profitarian, um, onanistic, no, wait, humanitarian effort, Porsche has released a limited edition of ten very special cars for the Chinese market. Warning: the images below the jump are not safe for human consumption.
Ah, yes, there’s something about the combination of gold and carbon fiber that simply enchants the legally blind. But do we have any obviously Photoshopped images of the car sitting majestically on a mountain somewhere? Why, yes we do!
I tell you what, if that doesn’t make you want to buy one, you must have been accidentally exposed to a college course on architecture or aesthetics.
A closer look:
You understand why it doesn’t say “turbo S” on it, right? Because its owners would end up calling it “TURBOS”.
I think that says it all. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but any Chinese customer with the requisite yuan might want to consider buying Saab. Not buying a Saab, mind you. Just buying Saab.

The warning was nice, but I looked anyway. Damn you Jack! Anyone know how to clean a visual cortex?
That's not photoshopped.
