Looking for Porsche poster

OK, this might be a stretch, but I seem to recall a magazine ad for Porsche from the late 70's and I'm wondering if it's available in poster form. The ad showed an aubergine 911, probably a turbo, from the rear with the title of "Nothing Even Comes Close."

Is my recollection correct? Anyone know where I can find one?

Thx,

No, as I recall it looks a lot like the one that says "kills bugs fast." It's a rear view of an aubergine colored 911 and the line of nothing even comes close.

Nope, not yet. The ad or poster as I recall is a rear three quarter view of an aubergine car. The period must be late 70's or early 80's. I wish I could cut and paste my mental picture. Then again maybe I'm just mental.

Right car, wrong angle. Had to be from the same ad campaign though.
