As we look back at 2013 for Leith Porsche, it’s apparent that it was a year of many cool things. To check what Porsche’s been most excited about, we combed through their Facebook page from January to December and selected the most newsworthy, interesting and just plain awesome moments of the year. Therefore we give you: the top four Porsche moments of 2013.
1. The 50th anniversary of the 911
You knew this was going to be on here. The 911 is an iconic design, as evidenced by the Porsche by Design exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of Art this year. Ever since Ferdinand Porsche made his initial sketches in 1959, the idea of what a roadster should be was irrevocably altered.
New times demand new vehicles, and Porsche designed a sports car to meet the moment. It’s compact, well-muscled, uses all of Porsche’s collected knowledge of what it means to drive, and what needs to be present in a vehicle. The result is astonishing, and like any Porsche once you get behind the wheel you understand immediately.
3. Code of the Curve app
Not to be left in the shadows is the Cayman, the pure racing car in between Boxster and 911 that is all about focusing on one goal: the road. To make this more interesting, a new app tracks every curve you navigate in day-to-day driving so that you can earn badges and build high scores to compete with fellow enthusiasts. Totally awesome.
This is one of those videos that makes you grab the nearest pair of headphones, preferably a pair with heavy drivers that can handle the low tones that only come from eight cylinders. Some cars fade into the background with their exhaust note. This is one that punches you in the chest.
So there you have it! Think we missed something? Comment and let us know what you think Porsche’s big moments for 2013 were. We hope you enjoyed our picks, and we look forward to seeing you in 2014. Happy New Year!
