Nice post. A few notes;

1. The convertible driver is wearing a head-scarf.

2. The narrator states the turbo is available in a Targa body. I dont think I've ever seen one of those?

3. Narrator emphasizes the 911's offroad rallying success. Cool, though now very much overshadowed...

4. Why is the coupe driving down the straight with his left indicator on?

enjoyable clip, thanks!

He was signalling his lane change as he passed the camera car.

Wow the videographer part of me is in awe at that final shot, a camera dolly with the cars coming to an exact stop in front of the camera with the final shot of the crest taking up most of the screen.

I wonder how many takes it took to get that down!?

I was thinking that, too, and I'm no videographer. That was a cool ending to a sweet video.

A quote taken from one of Porsche's commercials.
