Porsche has unveiled a special edition 911 dedicated to its Facebook fans. It’s the third Porsche that thanks the company’s loyal social media users and marks another milestone of ‘likes’. Porsche has also divulged pictures of the 5M Porsche Fans edition being built.

The kitted out Porsche 911 has been created to celebrate the passing of the 5million fan mark (though Porsche is currently much closer to 6million), and comes little over a year after the Cayman art car that marked 2million fans with a livery that included the face of each of them. In 2011, the 1million milestone was marked with a 911 GT3 Hybrid racing car with 27,000 signatures across its bodywork.

The 5M Porsche Fans 911 is about as fast and plush as a regular, naturally aspirated 911 Carrera can get. It’s a 911 Carrera 4S with optional Powerkit, meaning it boasts peak power of 424bhp and 324lb ft of torque, edging it past a V8-powered Audi R8. It completes 0-60 in little over 4sec and will hit a 191mph top speed......

The Porsche Twitter Million edition. To celebrate 1million tweets.
The Porsche £100k of Extras edition. To celebrate the sale of a car with £100k of extras.
The Porsche 100 Get Out Clause edition, to celebrate the 100th excuse to not honour the guarantee. (This was for not using Porsche approved (German) air in the engine.

How about these:

- The Porsche IMS/RMS failure edition to celebrate many thousands of dissatisfied owners.
- The Porsche scored bores edition (as above)

The Porsche 911WP edition?










......Whinging Poms edition. There's more moaning in this Porsche forum than a P0rn flick

I just can't get my head around this. Why, and who is going to drive around in it, 'celebrating' such a massive human endeavour?

Genuinely puzzling.

how can you be a loyal social media follower? that just means you have the time to talk bks on facebook and keep hitting like, as opposed to the cash to actually buy one

marketing department have been drinking the coolade

The marginal cost to Porsche for them to produce a 'Special' car and get the free advertising that then follows, is probably much cheaper than printed advertising space.

How does that sell cars?

I would expect this is part of their general Brand Marketing budget, not Product Marketing to generate direct sales.
