Porsche Promotional Video - 993 era, Microsoft Windows 95?
Discussion
Hi all - Your well aware Porsche has made some cracking adverts and promotions over the years.
I've always had a distinct memory of a video, or set of videos, that I used to watch endlessly as a kid, when we got our first family PC. The videos were part of the package used to show off the new multimedia capbilities of this amazing new PC and software (One of the other things I remember was Hover!).
The video(s) showed the current variants of 911, various driving shots, technical info, bit of waffle. I remember a crash test shot, and possibly some different variants such as coupe or cabriolet, 2 or 4 wheel drive etc. The voiceover, I'm am betting, was that familiar American-ish male voice they have used for years. I think there was a Guards Red and a Speed Yellow car.
I guess the car must have been the 993 - and it would have been Windows 95 I am guessing.
There is tonnes of this archive stuff on Youtube, but I've never been able to find these specific films - does anyone remember them?
I'd love to see them again, purely as its one of my earlier 'car' memories (I would have been around 10).

I must admit I don't recall that one you describe. I only ever knew of Hover and the Mpeg: Buddy Holly by Wheezer.

...so you don't mean the Patrick Stewart voiced adverts?
Interesting point - there are loads of Patrick Stewart voiced Porsche clips too, maybe it was him on these ones? The self-depreciating ones are slightly amusing - for example where they ask the workforce to choose the new range of exterior colours, and one is wearing speed-yellow socks under his otherwise totally grey overalls, and another is eating sweets, one being Riviera blue....
How we laughed.
