Actually I think it was exactly that contrast that he was after. He isn't pretending to be a 911.
He is making a statement about the duality of German auto engineering, Contrasting the stark practicality and sensibility of the bug with the high performance and precision of the 911.
Or..
Maybe he is just a goof.
