What will Porsche do after running out of the number 9
 
I was curious as to what porsche will call their cars after the 9xx are all taken. 911, 964, 993, 996,997, 998/991 sound like a sports car. 1911 not so muchSmileWavy

Hexadecimal of course! Who wants the first 3E9 produced? (hex for 1001)


Mossguy - nice rock. I have the same, but with extra thin checkered walnut grips

Well - they are getting so big and boated - that my guess is they will start back at 811 like the BMW's did with the 3 and seven series (1 and 6)

Start with the double-ohs. Give Aston Martin fits.

998, then 999, then 99X, then

Creepy!

I think that's a flooded street and he's opened/removed a man hole cover that he is standing on.

I'm not Angela, but I'm a bit freaked by big pipes, dams, etc.

I don't know why. I like all sorts of machines. I can only guess it goes back to that scene in Charlie In the Chocolate Factory movie, the one where the kid gets sucked up the pipes.

That gave me nightmares as a kid.

The Porsche 1001, unless Peugeot complains~

[For some reason they want to "name" their new cars. For years, I've suggested the name "Culebra" for the 2 door variant of the Panamera. "Culebra" is an island just east of Puerto Rico, and the name means "snake" in Spanish. I tried to get the license plate "Culebra" in Florida, but predictably, it is already taken.]

N!

I vote that they will continue to go with names and not numbers.

Isn't there something about not being able to copyright numbers?

And we all know how much Porsche looooves their copyrights!

Peugeot copyrighted all car names with three numbers and a zero in the middle. That is why the 911 isn't the 901-

N!
