In 1996, a good friend of mine worked in sales at a local Porsche dealer. He asked me to stop by the dealership, as he new I was a fan of Porsche, and was currently driving a 944. He sat me down in an office, put the VHS tape of this promo, hit play, and walked out. After watching it, I walked out of the office, walked up to him, and ordered a new 911. Because of this video. True story.
30 years later this video still as magical as the day I saw it being put together. My husband is the guy in the video as well as was marketing at Porsche at the time. We saw this pop up this morning and it's always nice to go down memory lane after a long career.
@@rayo1371 There is of the Deep Forest self titled album featured on the Porsche promo VHS. I bought it just because of the video. And of course minidisc was still a thing then. I just keep a CD burner now for my 80-90’s vehicles in the collection. Anyway fun stuff from the period.
Yes ... the best sports car ever made ... when I first saw this ad in Singapore as an expat, I could not wait to drive the 1995, 993 ... I finally bought one in 2001, and another in 2021 .... both 1995 ‘993s .... no substitute ... and Deep Forest music was perfect for the car’s launch!

The "no varioram" had the short gearbox... it's the punchy one, nice choice buddy!
993 and Deep Forest was a great marketing combination. Still remember to this day.
