Agree with fact that 911’s look the same for 40 years.
Agree with fact that 240’s suck
Odds his 911 design outlasts him without looking significantly different?

my dad took delivery of his 40th 911 yesterday. greatest car ever built, hands down.
RIP mang.

Hey,
You sound like an idiot so please stop talking.

> Well as bad as it is that this man has passed away. Maybe now Porsche can be redesigned to look good and not like a 40+ year old car. every year its been completely redesigned to look like the year before.
Agreed except it looked better back then compared to now.

Are you kidding? when the first Carrera RS came out in 73 it was a hit and raped competition. Look at how much the 917-10 and 917-30 raped in LeMans.

PORSCHEs are good cars. the newer 911’s look all the same but there still pretty cool
