5/5 Porsche Potencies
  by Robert S. Corrington
This DVD is part of the German based film series "Faszination," that will, I presume, bring out further DVDs in addition to the three or four now available. The viewer has the choice of either English or German versions. The DVD structure weaves various Porsche model histories around and within the brutal Transsyberia rally. Thus the tale goes from the 1948 356 Series up to the recently released genuine four-seater the Panamera. The editing is free from the choppy mode favored by lazy and narcissistic editors looking for an effect. Each model is allowed to show its potencies both internally and vis-a-vis other Porsche models. There is some technical information but purists might want more. While the 911 model, as per usual, gets pride of place, the front and mid-engine Porsches are also allowed a serious cameo appearance--including the 914/6 mid-engine, the 928 (my favorite of the front engines), and the 944--culminating in the mid-engined Boxster S and the Cayman. The envelop is pushed with the track test of the GT 3 verses the 911 Turbo. The test driver ranked the two for racing prowess but I will let the DVD fill in the details.
I have five other Porsche DVDs and I would put this high on the list. I first caught the Porsche bug when I was around 14, due to seeing a red 356 in all of its glory. Currently I own a 2001 911/996 Carrera Four Coupe in lapis blue. My earlier Porsche had two wheel drive, which convinced me never to get less than all-wheel drive from then on. Those of you who participate in Porsche Club DE know that you are never properly a Porsche owner until you have managed intense oversteer on a fast track--I am thinking of a particular hairpin on the Pocono Raceway!
All of that being said, I recommend this Porsche DVD for its film and editing quality and its (succesful) attempt to show the various potencies that each Porsche model exhibits, thereby cumulatively proving that Porsche, pound for pound, makes the best street/race cars ever built.

5/5 Hard to please Porsche man...really enjoyed this one....

My husband lives eats and breathes Porsche. I simply admire the engineering, history, quality and driving them :) We both really enjoyed the rare footage this DVD had to offer. A very nice treat!
