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

Had that same thought the other day....


And who knows.... :confused:

1911

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

Like these?:

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)

357:cool:

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

998, then 999, then 99X, then

Oh GAAHHH!!!! I could not get within a hundred yards of that sort of thing! You know the big version - the one that you see near a dam? It's only been in the last few years that I could ride my bicycle on the dam going PAST one of them...

Creepy!

Angela, Is there a story behind that fear?

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!

That scene made me horny-

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!

Complete the riddle...
 

Curiosity killed the cat but...

The Porsche 9R6

reintroduce the 944 and go from there :) :) :)

Plenty of letters in the alphabet.

Worked for Star Trek.

There will be fill ins on numbers they never used-

940, 990, 984, etc. There's a lot of numbers they haven't used in the 900's. For instance, the new 918- they had never really used 918 before (there was the flat-8 914 car that was built for Ferry, but 918 was never officially used)

Then they will add letters. Like with the 9R6.

99X'd have to be a classic-rock themed car. Shag carpet and the works. Kind of up the ladder from the 97Y easy listening sedan.

But they HAVE used those numbers...

940 was the Indycar.

990 was another race car, etc.

Porsche uses numbers sequentially for all sorts of projects; 356 was just project #356, #901 was the 911 (see above).

They just haven't all been cars.

Some of the numbers above have also been used by SAAB...
