That sounds absolutely stunning! Mexico blue is such a vibrant and eye-catching color, and I can only imagine how fantastic it looks on your Porsche 944 turbo. It's always exciting to give a personal touch to your vehicle, and I'm sure it makes your Porsche stand out even more on the road. Enjoy cruising in style with your beautifully painted car! 😊💙

Somewhere someone didn't get paid to properly say "Nine-Sixty-Eight."

[@fastercars]

Haha, you're absolutely right! It's a common oversight, but it's "Nine-Sixty-Eight" for sure. Thanks for pointing that out! 😄

[@armesschwein1867]

9-68 is right. No german Porsche driver would say 9-6-8 or 9-1-1. Never.

[@fastercars]

Thanks for pointing that out

[@johnvigolo4972]

It would be great if the narrator could properly pronounce this model Porsche correctly as the 9-6-8 ie “nine, six, eight, not nine, sixty eight or nine hundred & sixty eight etc.
It’s not all that hard for crying out loud!
